What to take to rtc

[FutureND]

You can bring a religious medal as long as it is no larger that a dog tag

I just graduated on the 10th, you can bring both. The medal has to be the same size as or small than your id tags to be allowed to wear it, with that being said you could just keep it in your draw if you have one that you're attached to that is bigger.

they have bibles that will fit the regulations at MEPS, it's just Psalms Proverbs and the New Testament though so I guess technically it isn't a bible. but it's pocket sized and my recruiter says they have them at RTC as well but I find it hard to believe. you have to go to MEPS right before you ship anyway though so just grab one then if you can

Do we have to actually write in the bible or can we write on 3x5 cards and stick them in the front? What would you guys (and gals!) recommend?

Anything else we should bring that I might be missing? It's getting close and don't want to miss anything

You could tape the index card on the inside cover so it won't fall out.
Bring a simple wallet so it can hold your SS card, phone card, and money.
If you're not sure if you can bring it with you, it's best to just leave it at home.

No, I believe they don't either.
