Im not joking when I say that this was the best experience of my life. I never knew that there were so many people just like me who had the same interests and who didnt judge each other but took the time to get to know one another. It was a lot of hard work but it was totally worth it. Get used to going to bed at 12-1 and getting up at 5:30 to 6 though, that was the hard part. The rooms werent bad, you arent in them a lot so it doesnt really matter. THeres usually two beds, a cot, a tv, desk, phone, and a bathroom. Your NSAM groups are great, mine was the best. I have so many friends and inside jokes that I will never forget! HOLLA HALLAREN!

Yeah I'm confused, how do the groups work? I mean there's like a Patton group and a Hallaren....are you only interacting with that specific group or what?

Umm, theres a bunch of groups and you're assigned to one. You spend a lot of time with your group but you still have time to hangout with other people (like when you go to Capitol Hill and your site visit) Chances are youll end up being really good friends with the people in your group.

OK so there are 17 NSAM groups with yea 20-23 people per group. our week had around 340 people. Ummm you make friends with your group and like the others said with other people cause of the visits. Also cause of the fact that you share a bus with another group throughout the week. lol. it was a blast i would love to go back to it.
