All of the items that I packed EXCEPT the Razor, Razor Blades, Compression Shorts, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Shaving Cream, and Lint Roller will not be used after the first 2/3 days of BMT. The Clothing that i packed is designed to get you through the first 2/3 days and then you should be issued your uniforms that you will wear from that day forward. Please Like & Subscribe! 😄

This is a pretty good packing list. I went to BMT in 2015 and your list is very similar to mine. I spent less money there than the others in my flight. At any rate, welcome to the Force. I’ve been in 6 years and will be commissioning soon as a JAG. Try to enjoy the experience as best as you can. There will be some obstacles but I’m sure they’re nothing you can’t overcome. Congrats and welcome to the family, brother.

Great video ! I ship out next week and was curious if you had an updated packing list ? Since you’ve completed BMT already and especially with Covid I’m sure you would have more of a recommendation as to what to and what not to pack. My main concern is the civilian clothes portion. You mentioned compression shorts; so does that mean I won’t be allowed to use my personal pairs of underwear throughout BMT ?

Honestly I think what I packed worked out very well, when I got to tech school I had family send me way more clothes and additional items like a laptop.

@kirkdarling4120 Жыл бұрын
Check with your recruiter to figure out your first actual "duty day" after you arrive that you'll get uniforms, including underwear, issued to you. That day you'll also go shopping for your toiletries...and they will give you a list of what to get. Don't wear anything, don't bring anything more than it takes you to get to the first day that you'll be issued your Air Force clothing and make that first toiletry purchase. Be prepared to throw away everything else. Actually, they'll put that stuff into a store room and you won't see it again until you leave Basic Training...it's better not to have brought it at all.

For clothes, I only brought an extra, or change pair of underwear, socks and t-shirt. I can wear a pair of jeans for 2-3 days worse case without changing. Unless you are arriving on Friday, your first morning you are going to get issued uniforms. Forget your fancy panties, you can't keep them. You WILL WEAR ISSUED underwear, socks and t-shirts plus your uniform, and THEY DONT CARE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT.... (You could find yourself on the next plane out, with any discussion about your NEEDS) Razors... dont bring those fancy 3-4 blade razors and refills, buy the cheap one blade disposables... reason, you have to thoroughly CLEAN EVERY BLADE in your razor.. (easier to clean the one blade design) Forget 'body wash, hair conditioner, after shave. You will need shave cream, deodorant, simple soap, and shampoo..

Damned GOOD advice!!! The military WILL provide the recruits with what they need. If y'all want to prepare... Then start your physical training BEFORE you go to BCT. It is basic COMBAT training. Not a social gathering summer camp! Thank you to all who volunteer to serve in America's military. God bless America. Retired US Army 69/71 GO Army!

This is laughable. My recruiter (SSgt Roy Rogers, absolute truth) told me to bring a bare minimum, and nothing I would mind throwing away. I was going to get to Lackland AFB on Friday night, so I'd have to go through the weekend before being issued Air Force clothing and toiletries that Monday. Under his advice, I took the clothes on my back (stuff I didn't mind throwing away), a couple of changes of underwear, and very basic toiletries to wash and shave...the cheapest stuff to get through the weekend, as though I was taking a flight and got laid over in Dallas for a couple of days. That Monday the Air Force issued me everything they wanted to have and told me what toiletries to buy at the Base Exchange. Every item of clothing they gave me and every item of toiletry had a specific place to go in my locker. Everything is subject to intense inspection, and anything unique in your locker is just bait for problems. You don't want your own stuff. Don't wear your expensive sneakers. Don't carry a bunch of expensive toiletries. Don't take your own underwear. Be prepared to toss everything you brought within a couple of days, because you're going to get issued or be able to purchase (cheaply) everything you need and want to have. And you don't want to have anything more than you need, because it's all subject to inspection and causing your problems.
