I'm in NROTC at my college and our Orientation week was the week before rush week. We were told by the Navy to bring specific items. I had so much stuff to bring for the Navy that I didn't have room for much else. That meant that clothes other than uniforms would be sent later.
There were three packages my mother sent me at school:
Some clothes and bare necessities.
Bed Sheets.
Other clothes.
Well, the "other clothes" box had my nice clothes, shoes, hair dryer, and make-up in it. And it arrived my 3rd day of rush.
However, it I had already been cut by 7 out of the 9.
I think I was cut based on looks, but then again, I probably would have cut me too. The nicest thing I had was khakis. I had a t-shirt on, and sandals that were coming apart. My hair was tied back and I looked like a mess.
The other two cut me after the 4th day, right before Preference.
But, it turned out to be a really bad time to rush for me personally. So, it's best that happened. Hopefully, the second time is a charm!!!!!!!
