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
@@Campain-gz3kj I can speak English but since I'm not American born so it's obvious that I won't be as good as a native speaker. And they will ship me to bootcamp in March.
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.
You will only be allowed to use your own personal glasses on certain occasions, like pics and graduation. Other than that,you have to wear the one's they issue you...they are not that bad, they have changed them, they are not as big anymore
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
When I was there they would not let you have anything in glass bottles, plastic bottles or aerosol cans (with the exception of shaving lather) no straight razor blades either. No lighter fluid either.
we got edge brand shaving cream and mach3 turbo razors but you get all of 10 minutes if you are prone to bumps and it looks bad you can try getting a "no shave" chit it might be hard to get in recruit training but at another command you can do it.
I have some Bibles at home that I use to study with more intensely. I have three in total. They are full sized from Old Testament to New Testament. I was wondering since this video says only a pocket Bible, after Boot camp am I allowed to have someone bring them to me or have them mailed to me?
My A school is in the same location as bootcamp, what about stuff I need for A school like laptops?? Do we go home again after bootcamp or go straight to A school?
I'm going in two months and I wanted to know what kind of blades and shaving cream do they offer, and how long do they give you to shave. I just want to avoid getting razor bumps, so I'm trying to get in the habit of shaving daily.
I don’t even know if you still have this account now. But I’m planning on enlisting in 5 months and I was wondering if you could give me any tips on anything or info on what to expect?
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.
Yes, but you won't need them, writing materials are provided as soon as you arrive. It's going to be taken out of your first pay check whether you want it or not.
life suck in a ship. it like doing time. it like living in a slave ship. the harder you work the more you get fucked. so youll have to learn to skate. hard work dont get you nowhere in a ship just learn to look busy.
+Johnathon King They are going to send back all of the clothes you take. Any unauthorized or unnecessary items (including your civilian clothes) will be boxed up and shipped home at your expense. Read this list: www.bootcamp.navy.mil/what_to_bring.html
+America's Navy well thats not fun :( so after we get our new clothing the cloths we came with well be mailed back? or just other clothing that we bring in our bag? do we need to bring money for shipping items back?

lose the weight you can do it I lost 70 pounds to sign up leaving for great lakes in may its tough but if you put your mind to it you can do it
The best thing to bring to boot camp is nothing absolutely nothing, they'll provide you with everything you will need.
Including shampoo, underwear.... ?
@@nahanng7791 Nothing but the clothes on your back, less than 24hrs you’ll have underwear, shampoo even a toothbrush brush.
@@csickpuppy thank you. Can I bring a pocket dictionary though cause English is not my mother tongue.
@@nahanng7791 You won't be allowed in if you can't speak fluent English

I’m quite a bit late on here, however is there any possible chance that you could help me prepare?
206 videos?Time to grab some chips and make some coffee....

I am considering Joining either the Navy or Air Force, but I am leaning more towards Navy.
G-sco804 I hope that your decision was well.

Can you bring a razor to shave with or do they have it when you get there? Are women in the same sleeping rooms as men?
Sir, thank you very much, you don't how hard it was trying to find that information.
When I was there they would not let you have anything in glass bottles, plastic bottles or aerosol cans (with the exception of shaving lather) no straight razor blades either. No lighter fluid either.
im glad it worked for you cause my positive attitude turn to shit after the two years.
They issue Gillette Fusion Razors. And i think Edge Shaving cream.

What about when you’re leaving for school ? Can you Bring boxed items for A school, if you don’t have family to bring the items to graduation?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. You can view what items you can and cannot bring here: bit.ly/3tRf8Fs
Going to the navy Tommorw
How is it
I have some Bibles at home that I use to study with more intensely. I have three in total. They are full sized from Old Testament to New Testament. I was wondering since this video says only a pocket Bible, after Boot camp am I allowed to have someone bring them to me or have them mailed to me?
Ask the recruiter but I don't think so, remember your only going to have enough room to store your uniforms and only a tiny drawer for personal items.
can i take my own shampoo and conditioner?
That's what I want to know
yeah, i'm wondering if i can bring a toothbrush also
What paperwork am i supposed to bring? Birth cert, ss card, id/drivers license, what else?
Wait!! so i can bring my own eye glasses?? can i use them throughout boot camp? i don't want those big ugly ones they give you... lol
Sure bring them if you want, they let me wear mine when I went there in 1976
what about toothbrush, toothpaste and nail cutters?
i am considering joining once im old enough
AWW MAN I WEAR CONTACTS T.T
I thought a recruit couldnt bring anything to basic
What exactly qualifies as writing materials?
That would be classic. They open up your pack to find a massive collection of only condoms.
no phone or electronic devices? are you allowed to bring any clothes? And what would i need money and Id's and all that for?
My A school is in the same location as bootcamp, what about stuff I need for A school like laptops?? Do we go home again after bootcamp or go straight to A school?
Hi there! Your recruiter can help you out with any of those questions! Have a fine Navy day!
So for girls don't bring bras?
Bell 117 no they give you new ones I think
I live by the Bible...what are the max dimensions allowed? A "pocket Bible" varies in size.
+Mark Allen If you are unsure you can ask your Recruiter.
+America's Navy Can I bring stuff like my razor and shaving brush
if youre religious how will you kill someone or aid your countrymen in doing so?
Not all Navy personnel kill people you know.
mrJMAN17 wow king david killed goliath he murdered someone it is seen acceptable because in combat it is survival.
Good to know I should bring my inhaler and my mind grain pills and mind if I ask what the 50 dollars would be for
they will teach you.

Can I bring books I like to read at A and C school after boot camp? I like to read. 😁
Daniel Osborne Of course.
Carry anything you want after boot camp, with the emphasis on CARRY.
seems right
can i bring some pictures from home?
the hardest thing in boot camp for me won't be the excersize, it will be the makeup restrictions lol
Are you required to bring current immunization records?
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.
did an MC make this?
Basicly all you need is the clothes on your back and your wallet. Thats it.
if I want to write a letter to someone am I allowed to bring envelopes and stamps?
+Mick Lane Yes
+America's Navy okay thank you.
Yes, but you won't need them, writing materials are provided as soon as you arrive. It's going to be taken out of your first pay check whether you want it or not.

Nothing.

This is out of date and needs to be updated
I have a basic backpack. 3 days worth of clothes and some toiletries. is there anything I should add or subtract from that bag?
