Congratulations young recruits. If given the opportunity to do the Internship Program, you should take advantage of it. You can really see first hand what you are getting yourself into (great department and great people). I did the Internship Program. I met and made friends with fellow classmates before the Academy started. When times were tough in the Academy (and there will be times), you will have that friendship and team support to help get through the tough times.
Keep running and doing those push ups!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a small fan. Some of the dorms don't cool real well. Plus it will drown out the noise. During the week the trash truck comes between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM. There are not many people who can sleep through that noise. Try to get a room on the east side of the dorm (it will help).
. Be Safe.
