I didn’t find what I was looking for when searching, if this has been covered shoot me a PM, delete the thread, and sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.
My recruiter has become less and less reliable as I near my ship date. Therefore I have tried to bust some Google-fu moves and get a list of what is needed for basic. Below is a list I have compiled from the web of what I am expected to bring to basic these days.
Anyone who is a recruiter, has a good recruiter, or is in the know via some other means, please look over this list and make corrections as needed.
One big question I have is this, when it says “Orders” I have a massive folder of paperwork from MEPS, which documents from that mass do I need to hand carry to BCT, or do I need them all?
