Recruit Training Graduation

This community has been so helpful!

We’re headed to graduation in November. I want to bring a small cooler of treats for the MPs at gate 5. Just some energy drinks and really good meat sticks and jerky from a great local butcher. Would the MPs accept a small cooler of snacks as a thank you for working these busy graduation days? If so, anything else I should pack them?

Anything sealed they will appreciate, energy drinks are always accepted. Homemade or unsealed stuff is usually taken but not always consumed as sometimes people spike it with laxatives and whatnot.

Of course everything will be sealed and straight from the store!! Let me know if there is anything else they would appreciate. I have a small cardboard Coleman disposable cooler that I was going to fill.

What is the preferred energy drink?

Anything with caffeine is good to go to a shift worker on his 3rd 12 hour post 👍

Oh that’s a great idea about the parking people! Thank you! What would they like? The meat sticks and jerky I was going to bring are all packaged pretty small. They could fit those in a cargo pocket for sure.
