Congratulations !!! Hopefully you go to basic in the fall when it is cooler. In my opinion, summer and winter depending on where you are at are the worse times to go. God Bless !!!

sigcrazy7I was at Ft Leonard Wood right in the middle of Desert Storm. If I were doing it again, I’d show up to basic with nothing. I’d be standing at shakedown with nothing but a toothbrush. No need to hold up to the side at arm’s length any more than necessary.

I showed up for Basic at Ft. Lewis and had nothing but my wallet, comb and the clothes on my back.
