Hey all, long time-no post. In the months I've been absent, I've joined the NY ARNG as a 68W and finished my NREMT-P. I ship to Ft Jackson for BCT on 07JAN13, with AIT at Ft Sam Houston afterward (and fast-tracking through the 'death by powerpoint' segment).
Anyone have any helpful packing suggestions or tips? I've been told to pack extremely light, with only my clothes, toiletries and a change of socks/underwear, since they lock everything up and issue all new uniforms and buy underwear. And I was told to always have a good supply of coughdrops (both for sore throats and for giving out) and Q-tips are handy for cleaning rifles and gear. Any other advice?
