Went to Lost in the woods back in 2001 for BCT before going to AIT at Sill as a 13F (Fire Support Specialist) Can't imagine what it was like in January there! Mine was Oct-Nov and even then during our FTX it got down to -4 and -8 during 2 of the nights. I thought warrior tower and the confidence course were on point till I deployed... That made Basic seem like pre-school, but that's what it's for right lol! Thanks for sharing your experience and for your commitment!

For me and my battle buddies drill sergeants will ask you to open your personal baggages and empty every items u have in there then they will let you know which ones you gonna put back into personal baggages as far as I remembered that all civilian clothes and items are back inside your baggage and they will store it into the locked room the best thing is to ask your recruiter
