What all to bring to basic training next week? I bought some shoes,jogging pants/sweater?

campagnollo2002	Bring your running shoes if you are not going into the Navy; Navy has their own running shoe program. All other clothing articles the military will provide.

Dave	20 dollars, your enlistment packet, ID, and the clothes on your back. You'll get everything you need either issued to you or from the PX.

Brian	You'll be issued everything you need. Just bring a little money, ID, and a debit card or something in case you need to buy something small.

Toast	not sure what country you live in, but if you live in a country that is in any way rainy, dear god man bring socks. so many socks.

D Moore	bring 50 dollars cash running shoes change of clothes working debit card that your check is going to go into addresses from home and a few letter writing stuff and enough toiletries for one or two nights everything else will be issued to you when you get there. you will also get an advance of about 300 $ that you can use at the shoppettes to buy toiletries and letter writing stuff Best of Luck!

robert.patrician	Go to Kinkos, and bring the following regulations files on PDF TRADOC 350-6 (Rules and regulations covering basic training) http://www.tradoc.army.mil/tpubs/regs/r350-6.pdf FM 21-20 (Rules and regulations covering physical training) http://www.hooah4health.com/4you/FM2021-20.pdf AR 670-1 (Rules and regulations covering wear of the uniform) http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/r670_1.pdf Uniform Code of Military Justice (This will be a big one) http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/mcm.pdf Get these printed into books. Bring these with you to training. If they try to take them from you as "Unauthorized reading material", here is your response. "These are the rules and regulations covering proper conduct in the US Army. If you take these from me, I can't be expected to follow them." They will give you **, they will try to intimidate you... but wait till an officer catches wind of it. At that point, they will NOT mess with you at all. If they bring it up to the Sergeant Major or First Sergeant, here's your argument "Sergeant Major/First Sergeant, I am being told to not read the written regulations regarding proper conduct and instead follow what the Drill Sergeants tell me the rules are. Isn't that the operating method of the terrorists I joined the Army to fight against?" Expect to either get your * kicked or promoted. Knowledge is power, and the first thing they do is strip you of any and all scraps of power you think you have in order to make you blindly obedient to orders. Hold onto these books, memorize them. In the Army, these books are power (Especially the TRADOC and UCMJ when in basic training).

HDH	Ask your recruiter. But basically, bring your ID, a debit card, two or three pairs of white socks, a week's worth of underwear, your prescription eyeglasses if you have any, a change of clothes (plain colored T shirt or Polo and long pants), running shoes, some stamps, a couple of blue or black ballpoint pens, a small address book with the addresses of your family and close friends so you can write them and get letters, travel sized toiletry items, a small Bible or other religious book, and something to read or listen to or play on your way there. You can bring your phone, but it will be locked up along with your civilian gear. They'll lock up pretty much everything but your socks, underwear, glasses, Bible, and address book. You'll get everything back when you graduate Basic.

guy	Every thing you need will be provided for you. One size fits all.
