Thanks!!! Unfortunately, I won't get my e-mail or packet of anything till the 28th, so I don't know what I need to bring with me. I'm planning on bringing myself, my car, clothes, and a laptop if I can get one in time...

unless things have changed since I was there in 08 there are no laptops allowed in the classrooms. Unless you mean for personal use at home, then go for it. Congrats

That right there is some excellent advice.
Take it seriously but be sure to set aside some unwind time.

Your packet doesn't really say anything that you can't already find online through the academy website. It comes electronically now too so don't wait for anything in the mail. As someone already said, you don't need a laptop and they are not allowed in the academy. You'll obviously want to bring some kind of computer with you, though for use at home.
Get ready for lots of studying. I've only been here two weeks and it has been non-stop.

When the woman called me giving me the news. she said I would get a couple e-mails and some packet would be FedEx'ed to me within a couple days. Maybe some veterans paperwork or something?

They still do FedEx a packet. It didn't contain much in the way of surprising information, as I recall, though. Options for housing, where to show up the first day, bring your passport, etc.

There is no FedEx packet. You will get a link to a website where you will login and retrieve your packet. They stopped sending real packets recently.
