females in bootcamp..

Me and another girl in my division, went to bootcamp with a sew-in weave to avoid getting our actual hair getting cut. Another girl had a wig. Some MEPS Navy liasons make you take it out though. I know for a fact the Jacksonville MEPS makes you do it, bkuz they made one of my friends do it before she left that day.

They offer you every type of birth control under the sun omg. Its amazing. The pill (the period every month one and every 3 months one), the depo shot, the path, some type of thing they put under your skin... EVERYTHING! Just take your pick and that's what you'll get.

They'll also give you Ibuprofen and calcium pills if you want them.

what about bangs? should i keep mine long so they can be pulled back? or do they prefer bangs? i think i read that they should not be visible under your cap but any clarification would be handy :D

No bangs. More hassle than it's worth.

I cannot stress enough that it would be SOOO much easier if you had your hair cut before boot camp! When the time comes for hair cuts you have been awake for more than 24 hours and you wait forever, also they chop your hair they don't care if they miss a few pieces, and they cut it just at chin level maybe even a little shorter on some females! I say have it cut chin level before you leave and hope that your RDC's will allow bobby pins when you get to your ship!
