Just letting everyone know that we have arrived safely in Washington DC.

Cadets and trip staff have checked into their hotel rooms and we’re one organizational meeting away from getting a good night’s sleep.

The whirlwind begins tomorrow morning with a trip to Arlington National Cemetery.

More updates to follow.

This is a reminder that lunch en route to Washington DC is to be a bag lunch brought with each cadet tomorrow.

Cadets’ bag lunches must be peanut-free as there are cadets on the trip who are highly allergic to peanuts and may react to even indirect exposure.

Lunch packaging should also be entirely disposable. There are enough things to carry on the trip without adding Tupperware and dirty cutlery to the list.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at 5:30am tomorrow!

All,

I wanted to clarify a small error in the kit list: bring your slip-ons for your cadet parka.

As a reminder, when wearing your parka in uniform, slip-ons must be worn.  You will be wearing your parka when in civilian attire, at that point slip-ons are not worn.

PS I’m stoked for the trip

PPS My van will win the race to Washington!

The full parent package was sent to all parents/guardians earlier this week, but there have been some requests for the kit list to be made available separately. You can find it attached.

Looking forward to seeing everyone bright (alright, probably still really dark) and early on Sunday for a great trip!
