Thanks! and follow up question, how early of a flight can you plan on trying to get the last day of class?

Lodging is free but a shared bathroom with one other. Reasonably decent food is free. It's on you to get beer or something else. I've heard all required items are done by Friday afternoon now but not sure when the bus leaves. I'm guessing a super early Saturday morning drive to ABQ.

BUS to ABQ left at 0130 (arriving around 0530) and 0330 (arriving around 0730) if memory serves. The earliest van to ROW left around 4 or 5am I think.

Unless you want to drive yourself you will finish on Friday around 1830.

I was there in late March. We were finished before 1700 on Friday and a bus to ABQ left in time for people to catch the JetBlue redeye to JFK that leaves around midnight.

Going in September, and I saw on some other post they provide pants and shirts? True?

Should I pack my own 5-11s?

I guess does anybody have a good packing list?

Bring 5 days of socks, underwear, and undershirts. You are required to wear the uniform they provide you. They will give you 4 pairs of pants, 4 polo shirts, and 2 "workout" shirts. Plenty enough for 5 days. Other than the undergarments I packed a pair of jeans, a tshirt, a polo, and a 1/4 zip for our downtime. I wore my uniform down there just to make life easy because you are required to wear it on day 1.
