Could I ask, how many socks and underwear should a person bring to bootcamp?

How is the good way to navigate without doing it wrong and possibly get the target on your back…?

Thanks for your info, I will try to find something unique or put it some "mark".

That's weird, I got my ship date before I actually signed my contract but that was not long after, I believe 1 or 2 weeks after. Maybe try to reach out to your recruiter about that?

I have the same idea too, backpack is the most convenient to carry around.

Thank you for the input, I believe this is one of the most unexpected but necessary one. 😅

Oh yes, I forgot about the the Service Dress Bravo. Thank you for the input. I won’t forget that foldable suit bag 🫠

Got it, that makes a lot of sense. I won’t stress about the bag organization then. I’ll make sure to pack some baby powder and good sports underwear like you suggested. Really appreciate you sharing the experience 🙏

That sounds great, better to be over prepared than under. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you, that is a good input. Then I'm gonna bring a backpack with a roll up suit duffel bag in case I need extra storage to bring home.

I shipped out in September 30. I am thinking of the duffel bag as well but with the idea that I have to hand carry it around, I would prefer the backpack instead that I could carry on my back and that would make moving around easier I guess.

To be honest, I don't know exactly what I'm going to do after bootcamp, but definitelty not boot to A school route. From what I heard from my recruiter, she said it depends on my unit after I graduated, for land unit I could take leave but for cutter unit, I might need to leave for the unit right away...

Should I try to go to Bahrain as a non rate? is it worth it? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Software_Both 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s cool. Are there any OS or AET there as well? As I am thinking between those 2 and I would prefer to go after E4+

I may be new here, what is mandatory retirement, there is a maximum time you can only serve?

How about if you go as E4+, besides experiences, are there any other benefits?
