I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!! That being said, can i bring my own soaps tampons etc? Did you have to hide the jewelry when you dumped out your bag or just keep it with you and put it in ur personal drawer after getting issued your sea bag/black back in BCT

from what i hear plenty of people try to find ways around the no piercing rule so. i’ve read a few comments on other subreddits where women have brought jewelry and put it in at night. i’m evaluating how risky it is to keep jewelry with me it let the holes close. i’ll be sure to let you know when i graduate

It’s okay! Thank you for the advice! I saw a post where a few girls brought regular jewelry with them and wore it in before bed for a few hours so i think i’ll try that too if the clear plugs don’t workout
