    For those leaving soon, you can pretty much bring anything...except phones and obvious stuff that you shouldn't bring. I'd recommend bringing your wallets, a few bucks cash, debit cards, address book (if you're bad at remembering stuff) and oh, bring a few small pictures if you want too. it'll help out in the long run

    The best thing to bring to boot camp is nothing absolutely nothing, they'll provide you with everything you will need.

    Another great thing to bring is the knowledge of the navy before you join and if possible knowledge of the rating you hope to get into. I am not yet in but by talking to people who have served honorably in the navy it has helped me prepare and plan for when I do sign that contract at the recruiters office. Research is key to seeing what job you want and whether or not the military is right for you.

    I went through boot camp a couple months ago and this is not entirely accurate. You are allowed to bring your whole entire wallet one thing I would recommend is getting a reusable pair of earplugs because you don't get much sleep and you don't want to be kept awake by your shipmates snoring
    If you got questions about Boot camp I will answer them

      Nope, whether you're up to date with your immunizations or not everyone will get them again. When the corpsman asks if you're allergic to chickens and you say yes, he'll still give you the shot and tell you to sit over there. If you have a reaction someone will take care of you and put it in your records, then they will believe you next time.........well maybe they will.
