As the subject/title explains it I am going to going to COT Mar09. I am the type of person that needs all questions answered and need to know absolutely everything about everything. I research A LOT and have found the COT website to be unsatisfactory (in my opinion). This is due to the fact that I have reviewed the COT website and done the "looking up forums" and found that there is A LOT of stuff out there that they dont tell you on the website. I am just looking for TIPS, HELP, or ANYTHING that we/I should know before going to COT and then the process of going to my first assignment. For example, I have heard the tips on the uniforms and attempting to get them before going to COT - but in my case and for others that cant be done. And the people who help us at COT giving us (too big) uniforms. And the sewn on vs. taped on emblems,rank, etc. I have heard of bringing a car. Not that it helps with transportation but because it helps make you feel human. What do you do after? Drive it to the base? What if its too far to drive? I have heard of brining a laptop and printer. What if you dont have one? Also bring the cell phone. What about the spouse/family/etc. is it worth it for them to make the trek to the graduation? I heard of family week or something it is worth it for them to come? Also i am a MALE. if theres any males out there help me out. If not, Im sure you females can help me out with tips about what kind of underwear, socks, etc to wear. or any other tips TIPS.TIPS.TIPS.HELP Thank YOU
