This is REALLY dumb so I know it has found its place:
What happens at OCS on Halloween/Thanksgiving, or other holidays that are observed but are not grounds for leave? Do we get punished extra hard to 'give thanks' to the PT gods?
Also, if my birthday happens to fall at the end of Indoc week...is that bad? Should I be hoping nobody sends me anything with "Happy Birthday" in it? I know laying low and not drawing attention is the name of the game.
Well I can tell you my experiences:
4th of July: You'll get killed like any other day, but there will be fireworks while you're getting slayed.
Your Birthday: You will get killed, only you'll be a year older. God help you if you get sent geedunk or anything special in the mail.
As for hoping nobody sends you anything..... well. Too bad. You'll be taken care of.
Sic 'em MB!
