    Just got out of BMT a month ago, this is based on my experience 4/20 - 6/10. And my experience was pretty much this: No need for that many shirts. Dont bring too many pairs of underwear, while you can wear your own underwear, they are not an authorized item and cannot be anywhere besides the back half of your security drawer and for us at least, the back half was nearly full towards the end of BMT, just deal with how uncomfortable the tighty whities are, or buy some of the authorized tighty whities at your first BX run. Dont bring a sweater, cant wear it anyways. Don't bring makeup, you can only wear a tiny amount of concealer as far as I heard during graduation. Dont bring a clipboard, you get your own. BRING INSOLES!!! Boots hurt and most injuries happened after being given boots. No need to bring nail clippers unless you want your own, you're issued some. For people who wear glasses and are not vaccinated or choose to wear masks, get some fog block, it's super humid in the morning in Texas! Essentially: Pack lightly, dont make it hard on yourself!

      @@sarahy4813 Bring enough for 3-4 days! I was a special exception because I wasn't there the first day (flew in from overseas) so they disregarded me 😅 I was in civvies for almost 2 weeks. As far as tennis shoes, please please please bring your own tennis shoes. Make sure they're only gray, white, or black, all 1 color. The BMT tennis shoes are insufferable. Bring any specialty hygiene products you feel you might need (You will be provided with most hygiene products you need, deoderant, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, nail trimmers, floss, not sure if females get anything different) and maybe a single sweater/jacket depending on the season

    I just graduated from BMT and trust me when I say that’s all you really need is a lent roller, some soap and enough bras and underwear to last you the entire time your there. Your only going to be in civilian clothes for 2days, your going to be wearing pt gear all day everyday until you get your ocps. I definitely overpacked my bag for bmt and I regret it, I had to carry 4bags to tech school 😥.

    You're definitely over-packing (excluding female stuff). Most of that stuff you can get at basic. All you really need is enough clothes to last you 2 days. Any other things you need you will either get issued or you can buy at the BX. I understand having that feeling of "what if I need it" cuz I packed a lot when I went in and I honestly regret it. One thing you have to keep in mind is that you're going to start a new routine. One that will have you skipping something you normally do at the comfort of your own home that you can't do at basic cuz you're being rushed. Or something you thought you'd never do. And you'll learn to get used to it. Cuz that's the military way. You'll understand once you're done with basic. Good Luck!

    This is a great list Makenna! I would suggest getting a small mirror with magnets on the back to stick to your wall locker. It makes doing your hair in the morning faster, because you won't have to fight for a sink. I would also suggest tape instead of a lint roller, you can use it to remove lint from your clothes, and prevent your BMTSG from ripping.

    • @AirmanVision

    I don't understand why people would say "Don't being a clipboard". Out of everything, it was easily the BEST item I that I brought. Maybe because you can buy one at the BX, but because of Covid we didn't have the opportunity to go to the BX until our 4th week. So I was the only person to have it. That probably has changed since last year, but still, better to just bring it.
    This is a fantastic packing guide. Honestly, everything is spot on. Only thing I did different is I chose to bring no cash and not deal with having to write down the serial numbers of each bill. You can use card for purchasing anything, so that was just one less thing to worry about. But it's probably safer to just bring a bit of extra cash for sure. Will absolutely recommend this guide! Well done!

    I’m not sure about the clipboards knowing it was provided to me during bmt, has to be returned towards the end of your training. wipes weren’t allowed in security drawers for me. But everything is based on where you’ll be located Alcatraz or Disneyland. Don’t pack heavy because you’ll have to carry everything you have on technical school. I got a carry on bag with important documents, hygiene products and some pair of underwear even though you will be issued some.

    PLEASE pack light. We were only in civilian clothes for three days before being issued our pt gear that we wear all day everyday lol. Females I would bring extra bras and underwear they seem to get lost or taken. Toiletries are issued to us as well as a clipboard and you only need a lint roller when your tested on open rank week 5. During zero week the mini mall comes to our squadron so you’ll get the chance to buy the things you didn’t bring. We washed our clothes everyday so you don’t have to worry about not having clean clothes. Keep in mind that when you graduate and go to tech school you’ll have to carry a backpack, duffel bag with your ocps, blues, shoes, coat ect, and your civilian bag. Depending on where your dorm is located you might have a little ways to walk with all of that. I was in Disneyland so it wasn’t too bad. Good luck to everyone heading out to bmt!
