Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, the not hitting yourself in the head one is pretty big, but I'd say. Pack for your guard trips at least two nights in advance because you're bound to remember something you need and this way you'll have plenty of time to do so. You might want to make a list of all the stuff you'll need for guard trips. If your guard is heavy into the pranking stuff, always check out EVERYTHING in the bathroom before using it, including the shower and sink. Umm, also if they are into pranks make sure you do not tell them of any phobias. If you prank, and it's something big, make sure it's okay with someone in authority before you do it because that helps big time if something goes wrong. Um......hmm......do lots and lots of strengthening stuff it'll help. Be careful whenever the flag/weapon is in your hand because you can injure yourself in many way...trust me. If you are required to have gloves, buy extra pairs. Always either wear sneakers or have them handy when participating in guard related activities. I can't really think of anything else.

Always check to make sure you have every piece to your uniform and be ready to withstand ANY kind of weather(rain, snow, sleet, etc.)

Practice your expressions. Some time it kind be hard to keep one expression while you are jazz running a cross a field.

I think that one's a givin. I tried
that once. I broke a ceiling fan.
