Post here if you will be attending the National Security session from February 19-24, 2008 in Washington, D.C.

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to get to know some people before we get to DC this Feb, and I figured this would be the best way.

My name is Laura, and I'm from just outside of Boston.

Feel free to find me on facebook so we can get to know each other a bit before we go:

Hey there. My name is Ben and i would also like to get to know some people before shipping off to D.C. in February. Hope to talk with y'all soon!

Hi guys! My name's Amanda and I'm also from Massachusetts. Can't wait to meet you all.

Hey everyone, my name's Jessica and I'm from California, about an hour north of LA. It should be fun to meet you all in DC in February ^_^

If you'd like, go ahead and instant message me on AIM at FreeCloud95

Hey I'm Justine from NYC!!! Just saying hi to everyone.

hey my name is Tanner and i am 15, and from Northeast Ohio. Big buckeyes fan yet very disappointed. Play football and am a sophomore. Anxious to attend and I would like to chat before we get there.

Hey I'm Joe from Nevada, just sayin hi before February. AIM: sploubish

hey so what's everyone into? maybe we could all like chat her a little bit if anyone checks this... I'll start.. i do horse back ridding, i'm really athletic, and i go to an all girl's school in the city. What about anyone else?

Hm. I'm a huge hockey fan- The Boston College Eagles and the Edmonton Oilers are my teams, followed closely by the Bruins. (Don't ask how a girl from Boston ends up rooting for a team in Edmonton-I'm not really sure how that happened ). I love languages: I speak Spanish and am learning Russian. I play French horn. And that's pretty much it.

I like languages too! I take French and sing in Italian (sadly I have no clue what I'm singing) Other than that i'm obsessed with almost any Broadway music and I'm a bookworm.

I love broadway and am a total bookwork too! Guys and Dolls is my all time favorite musical, and I just started War and Peace...

right now i'm sort of in a Sweeney Todd mode. I've heard of Guys and Dolls but never really heard the music or anything. So where are you guys staying in DC? I'm in the 4-H place.

Same. aren't we all? i speak french. don't know how well but enough to get around. I'm into broadway too! my favorite is Phantom of the Opera! i know all the songs, though i'm not that great of a singer... I'm a total bookworm to- i'll read anything.

Hey everyone, I'm Luke in Rochester MN. I play French Horn among other things and I love to speak German. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with their Site Preferences Form.

yeah me too... what exactly are we suppose to do with that anyway?

Well, we are supposed to send that in "two weeks before the forum", but I can't find any way of submitting it (actually, I can't find the form in the first place!) and we're supposed to get an email that "clarifies" what we are supposed to do, but they also said that we'd be able to submit on, what, the 4th? I sent in a question a while back but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Now I'm paranoid that they didn't get the message...

I read in my email we were supposed to get the form one month before our arrival date... "Approximately one month before your arrival date, you will receive a notification email providing you the exact date and time the online site selection email will be sent to you." So we should be getting and email about selecting our sites fairly soon, if I understand it right. Or at least I dearly hope so.

Great. I'm a little surprised that they didn't put that "one month before your arrival date" in the informational packet. Would have made a lot more sense. Anyone been looking at the primaries lately?

Wait what? I am so confused right now. I found the form and read through it but i wasn't sure what to do with it... what e-mail are you talking about?
