and about associating with people. i'd find the other people that like to stay quiet. i made a couple friends in there, but we were all quiet people.
2.5 years of NJROTC and 5 Exemplerary (sp?) Personal Appearance Awards show that I do something right with my uniform, lol... and I can iron too, I had to do my dad's uniforms when my mom was working, so I HOPEFULLY will do alright there.
Any other useful last-minute tips?
