My top 5 is 1. A will to work. 2. A will to adapt. 3. A will to reach your limit and go past it. 4. A will to win 5. And most importantly and will to win. Tell your family that you love them and tell them that they likely won't hear from you for a minute. Tell them not to send anything as you won't receive it. Most importantly tell them this stuff before you leave because your "last phone call" is so brief, chaotic, and there is a decent chance no one will pick up the phone. While you are still a recruit, you have no freedom, so bring what they tell you and nothing more. Anything more they want you to have, they will issue it. The most important tip I always give people entering any training, in any military, any branch, and any level from Basic to SF, is win the mental war. This is especially big for US Marines and British Royal Marines. In the Marines, the drill sergeant is to break you down, and undo anything your parents taught you, and build you back up as a Marine. That means they will tear you to f****** shreds to break you down swiftly. They make you do things so quickly and in the hardest way possible, so that you are 100% guaranteed to screw up, where they will then smoke the ish out of you. Don't let the DIs beat you in the mental battlefield. Respect them, listen to them the first time, and treat them as your superior, not your equal, as they are Marines, and you are not, not yet at least. Marine Corps Boot Camp is harder than any other initial training and indoctrination, and it actually competes with the difficulty of many SF Assessment and Selection units. This is necessary because while Army's job is to hold the line, and they do this job better than anyone else. The Marine Corps job is to attack, to counter attack, and to defeat the enemy and force the front line to move on your terms. This is a doctrine and a mindset. That is why the most important thing to bring with you is a will to win no matter what. What do y'all think? Agree?
@@bernardvining384 It really isn't too bad if you can keep a level head. I know when I first started I got pissed off every time we got woke up each morning, it sucked at the start.
I think you can bring that as long as the intend is for religious purposes. I can’t see them saying you can’t bring it, considering “religion” in general is a very sensitive subject & isn’t taken lightly.
@JamesLong80 Yep SOI where you will either branch to the MCT pipeline (non infantry) or the ITB (infantry) pipeline. MCT is around 25 days whereas ITB is around 14 weeks currently. From there you will report to your designated schoolhouse.
You can try🤷🏾♂️ you normally keep your important valuable items in a little bag throughout boot camp, so I mean you could give it a shot, it is religious material.
@ as a heart attack and plz don’t delete my comments! The truth needs to be out there, ppl need to know what happens at parris island the drill sergeant goes above and beyond their powers with the new recruits they abused and rape these young man not to mention the racism
The hygiene stuff is simply for your stay at the hotel, and maybe the morning before you leave to bootcamp. When you actually get to bootcamp they will provide you with everything you need (or so I’m told by multiple recruiters) I recommend bringing travel sized things, that you can throw away after leaving the hotel. I hope that answered your question.

When you mention that you can bring religious material, does that include crosses attached to a necklace chain? Or would that count a jewlery?
I think you can bring that as long as the intend is for religious purposes. I can’t see them saying you can’t bring it, considering “religion” in general is a very sensitive subject & isn’t taken lightly.
