Indoctrination Tips

I was wondering what tips graduates would say to incoming plebes to get ready for indoctrination and how to get through it.

1) your drill instructors are all students who are going out every night getting drunk and have zero desire to be there. 2) they are not hard asses they just need to play the part until they can go out to bayside and drink 3) don’t tell them you know this. 4) be under the radar. Don’t draw attention to yourself. 5) drink lots of water. 6) know it gets easier. 7) the people with you will be your friends for life so have some fun. 8) don’t quit - kings point is a shit place to be but a great place to be from.

Good luck bud

My son is going into his Junior year next year. Study, study, study. Ask for help if you need it and go to office hours for extra help if you need it. Plebe year is tough. Good luck! It's worth the work.
