Yes you can keep a bible and postage stamps. You can take your own postage stamps or buy some at the NEX. The smaller your bible the better beacause thats less room you have.

You can have alot of different things. Just dont sneak food or any contraband. You can take an address book also. You have a small drawer that you lock up and your RDC's cant go look in it. You can also take as much money as you want with you but i suggest only about $30. They issue you a NEX gift card that has $150 i believe. So you basically buy everything you need with that. I still have $24 dollars left on mine lol.

When i went i took $20, a small bible, and an address book with photos of my family taped in it. Sent everything else back in the box. You dont need much. You will be issued just about everything you need. And if you need anything else you can always get it when your division goes on a NEX run.

Congratulations on passing RTC Great Lakes!

Don't think death by power point is over though. While it was a lot easier to stay awake during my A-School and C-School it was still difficult at times, and even now at my ultimate command it's hard to pay attention through those really long power point presentations.

I wish you all the luck in your schooling and hope you get a good command to go to.

I'd like to add some additional comments on previous posts:
1. I also believe being in a push division is luck of the draw. I was in one, but I didn't do anything special to be put in it. It might have something to do with the day you arrive on?

2. If you plan on being on the division staff, I would as your recruiter if it is ok to bring a small, black, plain wrist watch. I know I was the division's Yeoman and I ended up buying a watch for convenience. My RPOC, AROC, Watch Coordinators, and other Yeoman all had watches too.

3. What's the 10 Count involve? I was always made to do 8 Counts, through the way my Chief Counted it might as well been 16 counts.
