You will not be permitted to bring your personal possessions with you when you enter the Academy (except for a few items listed in the cadet appointee instruction booklet). All basic necessities, such as uniforms, bedding and linens will be furnished when you enter. During the academic year, you will be permitted to have additional items when authorized by the cadet wing Commander. You will be issued a laptop while at the Academy. You will be permitted to have a radio or stereo equipment in your room beginning the spring semester of your fourth-class year. You must wait until your first-class year to have a television in your room. You may, at certain times, watch TV in the squadron recreation room. You must wait until your second-class year to have most electrical appliances, but a third-class cadet may have a coffeepot. These rules are general guidelines but may be more restrictive depending on each squadron’s rules.
