Also, do not unpack so quickly the first day (esp if you arrive on Sunday), you might get a new room assignment.

I came a night early but they told people not to unpack. Also, if you come early or stay late you have to be in bed by 9:30. If you are in ASA enjoy it because the rest of the week you have to get up at 6:30am and go to bed at 11pm!!!!

our night counselor let us stay up as late as we wanted.

At ASA noone really seems to care how late your up and ac is pretty much the same. But if you go to AC and your in your room and its officialy after lights out. Then you better be quiet. If the counselors hear you they make you get out of bed and stand at attention till they decied to let you go back to bed.

The lights would be turned but we talked late into the night. No one cared that much.

At AC they dont care either as long as your quiet and dont make enough noise for them to hear you in the hall.

the counselor let us have the light on for awhile after lights out

Also if you do not make your bed you will hurt your team in their standing! Make your bed!

This applies for AC only. ASA does not give a hoot if you do or not.

True your team at AC is trying to earn points toward an award at the end of the week. They look at your beds beibng made as well as room clean, your mission, your escape and evasion and i dont know if they still do a drill competition i had heard they stopped doing it but if they do they give points for that too.

i never made my bed at asa i can do that at home if i wanted to

Well if you dont make your bed your team will lose points.

warm night clothes is the most important advice

I have to agree with you there, monkey.

monkeynautt · Post by **monkeynautt** » Sat May 11, 2002 12:45 pm

the beds at asa can be hard to make cause y r close to the roof (on the top)

Thats true too monkeynautt.

I think I saw Machs I & II doing drill competition.

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Sat May 11, 2002 10:05 pm

They did it at mach 3 when i went but someone from my team went again the next year and said theyd stopped doing it for lack of interests.
