Things you are allowed to bring to RTC

So ive seen like 30 lists all with different things allowed to bring. I only really care about one thing. I have a little tiny notebook about 3"x5". Im writing all my General orders, chain of command, important addresses, etc. Are they going to take this away from me?

Probably not, especially if you have all your contacts and addresses in there. They will give you a Bluejackets Manual that will have ALL of the info that you will need to know and be learning in it.

Through my own research I see people suggesting little bibles with extra pages. Have you considered it?

You will be given a recruit notebook for that... carrying anything else is considered "gear adrift"... you can keep it, and bring it out on Sundays during holiday routine, but don't expect to have access to it when you need to write notes... that's what your Trainee Guide and/or notebook is for.

Can you bring retainer? I asked my recruiter he simply said "I dont know".

If I was to right on a paper all the addresses I need and fold it up and put it in my wallet, that should be fine right?
