from experience, don't put your things in that coast guard bag. everyone brings those and when they get thrown in a pile hardly anyone finds their own. bring something that you could spot in seconds. trust me lol
I thought they provided you with everything? I was watching other videos that said your civilian stuff gets taken and they give u PT uniforms, toothbrush, shoes, sandals, etc.
Is all of this actually necessary? Obviously it would help but I was under the impression that you pretty much get issued everything or you can buy stuff up there
My son leaves on Monday for Cape May. His list of approved items doesn't mention shower shoes or shampoo/body wash. Anything else he should know? I think I'm more nervous than he is. 😂😭
Hey I hope you're still active on this! Couple of questions, I ship out for boot April 24th from Pcola, Florida. Did any of those shampoos or razors get confiscated on the plane? I never have ridden on a plane before and I hear they're strict about that. 2: did you just bring your coast gaurd bag your recruiter gave you and were you able to fit all that stuff in the bag/leave it ? 3: I thought the only bag you're allowed to bring is the coast guard bag you're recruiter gave you? I'm reading comments of people bringing duffle bags etc? 4: would I possibly get in trouble if I put masking tape on the side now with my name on it to mark it before I head to Cape May? Thanks!
Hey bud, I'm shipping out next month. Thanks for this video, it's helps to be able to see this! Now that you're back, is there anything you took that you ended up not needing or anything that you wish you brought more of?
When I shipped out to Cape May we were told to bring one change of clothes and our toilettes and that was it. The third full day we were given our uniforms and a sewing kit. We had to hem our blue work pants by hand - the type you see in
Good luck to everyone shipping out.

hey well I'm getting ready for boot camp I'm very ready thanks so much :)
I grow facial hair like crazy, is it okay if I bring 2 or 3, or would that look weird
Good video man. Quick question, do the shower shoes have to be black or can they be white?
when you sent your application in how long did your recruiter take to get in contact with you?
Hey I am confused about civilian clothes do we bring extra civilian clothes or not

After going to boot , Would you have packed differently?

I have that same Bible that my sister got for me.
Do you keep your civilian bag or is it confiscated? If so, for how long is it kept from you? and do you have access to it?
