What to bring to Boot Camp and what NOT- Females Stuff Only

jessica_lynn89 · 09-19-2011, 08:16 PM

are you allowed to bring a small bucket/bag/tray of your shower stuff into the shower? I dont know if they assign anything to you or if it is or isnt allowed...i want to bring a small rectangular bucket that has holes so water goes out of it and have my shamp & cond and facewash. If i bring that in with me in abackpack will they let me keep my toilettries and the bucket?

I know there is a list of stuff you can bring..but in reality, it is way more than you are going to be allowed to keep. Bring ONLY what you need for the trip there, except for meds you are on(birth control scrip), glasses and scrip for them, SS card, drivers lic, etc. Bring a VERY small address book, a couple of stamps for mail, credit card, pre-paid phone card already activated...basically what can fit in the address book with a rubber band around it!
Tooth paste and brush, deoderant, shampoo & conditioner, body was/soap will all be sent home the same night you arrive with no chance to use it. You will go to the NEX and BUY all the stuff they want you to have.

HI, I know that the question about birth control was answered with they have all forms but I just wanted to question and be sure about the depo shot. I would rather stay on the shot that has to be given every three months because i also don't have a cycle and its involves no implantation of anything.

I am really not sure on this one! I will try and find out for you, but if this vaccine is one that has a shelf life, maybe not. As if you are on deployment for 9+ months, and not very many females use this, they wont carry it for just a few people. But I will try and find out for you.

They do offer the Depo shot, and any other form of bc you might want. Talk to the provider and they'll make sure you get what it is you want, and they'll make sure you get it when you need it.

Thanks cferr!!! I would really rather have the shot so I don't have to worry about having a cycle!!

Another question that just came up for me, for females and medical, would you suggest that females get a pap smear done before going and taking the results or letting them just do it there. i heard it would make medical go a lil faster if I get it done before?

Okay, two silly questions:
1.) I know everyone has sad all forms of birth control, but I'm still nervous that they won't have mine. I take Sprintec, it's a pill, but because of reasons I will not go into detail on here for, I have to take it because it is a really low dosage and its cheap. I'd rather not switch birth control again, and I like this one. So does anyone know if they will have it?
2.) Just to clarify: they give you everything when you get there? I was reading a list of the RTC site that says (or at least this is how I'm reading it) they only provide men with underwear. But that doesn't make sense to me, since the only thing everyone says to bring is identification, address book, phone card, credit card...things like that.
Thanks guys!
