Yeah but I want to have a little note book to quickly write down notes or things i need to remember.

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?

Yes, that is fine.

Good, now for the rest? I'm not really planning on bringing everything I can but what about a bag, change of clothes for the Hotel, envelopes and stamps, wallet with stuff in said wallet. I think that's all I'm bringing..

My brother joined the Navy last year and all he brought was his wallet (with his NFCU card, Social security card and driver's license), passport and phone. The box that he had to mail back home had his civilian clothes and mobile phone in it. He told me not to bring anything. The Navy will provide everything you need at boot camp.
