This can be confusing at first, but if you yell "I need help at Alpha", they won't know where your talking about. Good code names include:  Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtron Golf Hotel India Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey X-Ray Yankee Zulu. Hand signals are a way of communicating if a radio goes down or you on a covert mission without making a sound. Things like putting your left arm out will mean go left, putting a flat hand above your head will mean hostiles, and so on. They will be loyal to you if you are to them.

Summary: Have code names for all types of things. Develop hand signals that work just for your team members. Be loyal to your teammates.


Place 1 of the double-digit numbers on top and the other double-digit number directly below it. While there's no right or wrong way to place the numbers, if you have a double-digit that ends with a zero such as 40, place it on the bottom, and put any number with more (nonzero) digits on top. This will let you skip a calculation. For example, if you're multiplying 22 by 43, you can put either number on the top or bottom. For the moment, don't worry about the bottom tens number. Just use the bottom one's number and multiply it by the one's number directly above it. Write the result directly below the line. So for 22 x 43, you'll multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. Use the same bottom number and multiply it by the number of the top ten. Then write the result under the line so it's directly below the tens space. For example, with 22 x 43, you'll now need to multiply 3 by the other 2 to get 6. The number under your line should be 66. Before you begin multiplying the next part, place a zero under the one's place. This will hold the space so you can begin multiplying the bottom tens number. So if you've got 66 as your first result, put a 0 right under the 6 in the ones place. Now that you've already worked the bottom one's number, multiply the bottom tens number by the top one's number. Write the result next to the zero you wrote. For example, 4 x 2 = 8, so write an 8 next to the 0. Write the result next to the number you just wrote down. For 4 x 2, write another 8 next to the 80 you already have written down. If your numbers don't have any more digits, you're ready to add both rows of your results. The number you get will be the answer. For example, you'll need to add 66 + 880 to get 946.

Summary: Write the double-digit numbers on top of each other. Multiply the bottom one's number by the top one's number. Multiply the bottom one's number by the number of the top ten. Place a zero under your result. Multiply the bottom tens number by the top one's number. Multiply the bottom tens number by the number of the top ten. Add both of your results to get a final answer.

Some schools might require you to wear business casual or professional attire for the ceremony. Check your school’s website or contact the office in charge of graduation to confirm the dress code. If there isn’t a dress code, you should still attempt to look put together and professional. Pick a solid-colored or striped dress shirt with a collar, and add a coordinating tie. Opt for a pair of neutral-colored slacks or dress pants to round out the outfit, and wear a belt with your shirt tucked in.  If you live in a warm climate, you could also wear a polo shirt with a collar. To show off your school spirit, you can match your tie to the color of your robe or the school colors. Choose a dress in a neutral color, like white, tan, gray, navy, or black. If you’re wearing a skirt and a blouse, stick to a solid-colored top that’s easy to pair with a bright color. Pick a knee-length skirt in a solid color to add dimension to the outfit. Make sure the skirt or dress is an appropriate length for a professional occasion, but not so long that it sticks out of the bottom of the gown. Leave your purse or backpack at home for graduation, and stick to just the necessities, like your keys, phone, and wallet. If you’ll see your family before the ceremony, drop off your bag with them to retrieve it later. If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, look for one that has pockets to inconspicuously hold your phone, wallet, and keys during the ceremony. Graduation isn’t the best day to break in a new pair of shoes since you’ll be doing a lot of walking and standing. Pick a pair of comfortable dress shoes or loafers if you’re going for a masculine look. For a feminine outfit, opt for flats, comfortable wedges, or chunky heels.  Avoid wearing stiletto heels or very high heels for the ceremony, especially if it’s outside. Your heels might get caught in the grass, or you might trip while you’re walking in the processional. Wear your shoes for a few hours the day before the ceremony to practice walking and make sure they’re comfortable.
Summary: Follow your school’s dress code if they have one. Wear a dress shirt, tie, and pair of slacks for a more masculine outfit. Opt for a dress or a blouse and a skirt for a feminine look. Avoid bringing a bag to the ceremony. Pick a pair of comfortable shoes that are easy to walk in.
