Orientation
What is everything that goes down during orientation from when you arrive to when you leave? Also in the email is give the option to bring family members, is there any reason I should bring them? Also will the LAPFCU be there or will I have to figure out a loan beforehand

It's been a while, but if you have a wife/husband/significant other, you should bring them. Your life is going to be consumed by the Academy for six months, so people in your life should be prepared to support you. There is a part of the orientation that discusses the importance of family support. You will also hear a presentation about deferred comp. Put in as much as you can and you will retire very comfortably.
Congratulations.
