    • @justalaysia
      @justalaysia Місяць тому

      Think of it this way. This is a process designed to help anyone succeed. They will provide you with everything you need from the time you get there. At the hotel they feed you. While traveling through the airport to basic training they provide a food voucher for you to eat at the airport. When you get to reception they issue all your uniforms and gear, and they give you money on a card to buy personal items from the store. If you come in with NO money and nothing but the clothes on your back, you will be just fine. If you decide to bring cash $20 is fine. I did not come with cash, but I did bring the debit card that my paycheck was going to.

      Since you are prior service you will most likely be in the barracks with MOS-T soldiers (other prior service or soldiers changing their MOS), not IET soldiers (soldiers fresh out of basic). If this is the case you will be treated as permanent party. If you're MOS-T you will not deal with any "phase ups" and you wont have to deal with drill sergeants. Since you graduated Marine Bootcamp, you will not go to army basic and you'll be issued your uniforms at in processing when you get to your AIT location.

    Everyone keeps telling me different things. One person tells me to bring the essentials with me so I'm not wasting money at the shop. You're saying to not do that and just buy everything at the shop. Another person tells me they will confiscate your stuff and make you buy it regardless. Another says I can bring my glasses and contacts but then someone else says no, they will give you BCT-issues glasses. I'm so confused. No two people ever say the same thing.

      You won’t be wasting money if you buy everything at the shops because they will give you a card with money on it to use at the store and if you don’t use all the money on the card you basically lose it because the card won’t work anywhere else. Anything they take from you you’ll get back when you graduate. You can bring your glasses and contacts with you to have when you leave but they will make you wear Army issued glasses in basic. I also was not allowed to wear my contacts.
