How are the prices at the NEX for soap and stuff you need to be hygienic and cleaning stuff? Are they really cheap like Walmart or way overpriced like at CVS or Walgreens? Wondering if I'll have to make a run to Walmart or Target during PIR liberty to pick up stuff.
|
The Nex is moderately priced. Depends on the items. You do have to realize though that shopping at the NEX is TAX FREE though.. so even though something you may think is cheaper at wal-mart, it may not be by the time you add tax. It is item specific though... DVD's.. yea buy them off base..

I was going to bring his cell phone with me to give to him after graduation...is that allowed?
|
You can bring it so he can use it for sure..he will know if he can keep it or not. However he cant keep it while he is still on the bootcamp side of things..if he is grad-n-go, he will be able to get it and keep it once he is off the boot side.
|
You are so helpful, I've read a lot of your responses on here! Thank you..So let's say he fly's to A school Saturday after graduation, if I see him Saturday morning, can he have his phone then?
|
Once he has left RTC permanently (at the airport) he can have his phone, laptop, whatever he wants for electronics. They just aren't allowed AT RTC. Generally, peoples family bring them these things while they're waiting at the USO for their flights to A-School.
|
Ahhhhh Ok, very helpful! Thank yall so much!

Did they tape you to figure out your uniform size? I ordered a pair of military rated pants and they dont quite fit due to my lack of knowledge.
|
Yes you are measured and taped at each uniform fitting. They then will give you a rough uniform size and you will have it pinned and adjusted by a tailor. They will then take the uniforms and hem/adjust them to be a perfect fit for you. You generally get your uniforms 3 days to a week after the day you are measured/tailored
|
Is there more than one fitting and measuring session then? I was assuming they would just ask us our size and we would be handed a pair. Does the tailoring apply to the nwus and nsus as well? Im pretty damn short, and pretty damn stocky haha. I have trouble finding clothes that fit as it already, so i was just curious how the navy handles that.
|
They do tailoring and fitting because they want you to look good. When you wear your uniform you at the face of the United States Navy. They will make sure that your uniform fits correctly.
|
There are 2 uniform fittings. The first one is for NWU's, Coveralls, Raincoat, Parka, and boots. A few weeks later is fitting #2 where you get your NSU's, Dress Blues, Dress Whites, Peacoat, and Dress Shoes.
Part of the tailoring for first issue is also to apply your name tapes to your NWU's and Coveralls. If your size changes drastically in boot camp, your RDC's may send you down to get an adjustment made shortly before graduation (well, if you have any loaner items because they were out of your size or if it effects your dress blues/whites whichever you're grad will be in). Otherwise, you can have adjustments made at your next command. Adjustments through the navy uniform shop are usually free for the first year after boot camp. |
