    My experience in the late 90s they gave me a packing list and my mom spent like 200 bucks on it and none of it was used. It all got locked away because it was the wrong kind as I was told and then I had to run with that heavy ass bag up and down the hills in Fort Jackson, if I could do it again, I would’ve brought nothing but my clothes, my birth certificate, and paperwork. And there were no cell phones so that would’ve been a non-issue. The army will literally give you everything else.

    Prior service question (well was a direct commission in the AF)…a. Do prior service bay up with the rest or do they have them separate from the pack (bay wise). B. Can I bring my own boots if I wear them at reception? Sounds like a “no” but just curious.

    • @izikeaddis
      @izikeaddis 6 месяцев назад +3

      any prior service gets their own bay, even those switching mos get to be in a bay with other prior service individuals. and they got their phone in the bay at all times and get to order food and such to the bay and got to have protein etc

    • @LeanSippaX2
      @LeanSippaX2 Месяц назад

      Depends on where you go. We had a prior service guy from the Air Force he was an E5 they made him do the same things we did sleep in the same bay as we did. They didn’t give him any special privileges or treat him any differently. Now if you are switching MOS that’s different you’ll stay with what is called the MOS-T’s in a whole different barracks you’ll be called by rank rather than call a trainee etc
