Ooh good tips Robyn – you have obviously flown long-haul a lot! Only thing that I could never do (from your list) would be to board late – I am always paranoid about missing my flight.

Ask for a centre aisle seat – once I got stuck in a window seat for 12 hours while the 2 guys beside me used their laptops all night and trying to get out to go to the bathroom was a nightmare.
Take eyeshades – you might look stupid, but you don’t see yourself and now with the screens in the back of the seats it can really help.
If it’s an overnight flight grab a blanket as soon as you get on board – they often turn the temperature down overnight and there aren’t always enough to go round.
Carry as little baggage as you can. If you can fit it under the seat in front it’s so much easier than trying to a) find locker space for it and b) having to get it out of the locker during the flight to get a pen or whatever.
Don’t buy a book at the airport if you read on the plane – I once (before entertainment systems) spent London to LAX with a book I absolutely hated!
Board as late as you can, especially if you have an aisle seat and a small bag – it’s so much easier to get down the aisles when everyone else is settled – and hey, it’s fun to hear your name called :)
Make friends with the airline staff. Don’t be rude – they have a job to do and if you are polite and friendly and thank them they will bend over backwards to help you.

[...] important. As long as I’m hydrated, as well-rested as I can be and (touch wood) don’t have DVT, I’m good to go on the other side. I just wish I knew a way to stop my fellow passengers [...]

Comment on 10 Tips for travel in Italy by Nichole

#9 is VERY important. You’re right, there are expert “purse-snatchers” in Florence. And greater wallet-snatchers. I was in Florence over the summer and one of the girls I went with had her wallet stolen right out of her shoulder bag. She had no idea it happened until we were back in our apartment. There was also a night that one of the men I was with ALMOST had someone steal his wallet out of his FRONT pocket. Thankfully he was quick enough to stop the thief.

Hope my reply does not come to late. Definitely tell the recruiter that you are interested in becoming a Mass Communication Specialist. As far as where you will be stationed, unfortunately you cannot really choose that until after your first term.

Thank you Robert. You were in Asia during a great time to be a Sailor. I bet you have some amazing sea stories, lol.
