They have laundry machines In your bay but 90% of the time half of them are broken

No

Definitely talk to your NCO’s or your recruiter.

@@balthasar7282 I can assure you that absolutely nothing will be new 😂😭

@@justalaysia haha damn 😅a lot of videos people share rooms but seeing that you have your own private living area is pretty cool. Is that common for new people? Im signal but idk what unit ill be with yet

@@balthasar7282 you kinda just get what’s available, with E4 and above getting priority for single rooms. The NCO barracks of course have the larger rooms. going to 44th?

@@justalaysiado NCOs share a room ?

Yes

The barracks fucking suck no matter where you go. Tell your friends to either get married, don't go active duty,.be officers instead of enlisted, or join the air force or coast guard where they would be out the barracks by e3/e4 instead of e5/e6 in the army.

Think of it this way. This is a process designed to help anyone succeed. They will provide you with everything you need from the time you get there. At the hotel they feed you. While traveling through the airport to basic training they provide a food voucher for you to eat at the airport. When you get to reception they issue all your uniforms and gear, and they give you money on a card to buy personal items from the store. If you come in with NO money and nothing but the clothes on your back, you will be just fine. If you decide to bring cash $20 is fine. I did not come with cash, but I did bring the debit card that my paycheck was going to.

I had my own locks and they still made me buy a pack when I got there. I would wait until you get there because everything you need is provided or sold there.

Yes. The smaller the better though. I was also given one there.

No. Lower ranking soldiers will usually share until they are given a single room.

@@justalaysia I start off as a e3 will I be given my own room I'm a 13j btw

@@renolddurosel6524 when you get to your first duty station your unit will decide your housing situation. If there are no single rooms available you will share. When one becomes available the unit will decide who gets it. Sometimes it goes to the highest ranking soldier and sometimes it goes to the soldier that’s been waiting the longest. There’s no way for me to predict that for you unfortunately.

That’s literally what the video is about 😂😂

@@justalaysia bruh I'm dumb 😭

Since you are prior service you will most likely be in the barracks with MOS-T soldiers (other prior service or soldiers changing their MOS), not IET soldiers (soldiers fresh out of basic). If this is the case you will be treated as permanent party. If you're MOS-T you will not deal with any "phase ups" and you wont have to deal with drill sergeants. Since you graduated Marine Bootcamp, you will not go to army basic and you'll be issued your uniforms at in processing when you get to your AIT location.

Yes

You will lock up all your civilian clothes. They’ll give you running shoes.

I don’t know why it matters who makes them but I think that’s just your personal experience. It is not my reality.

No

@@justalaysia i am 4’9 do you think i would have to sign a waiver

If i did 4 years of jrotc in high school would i be a higher rank if i go in the army?

@@Melanie..10_123 you would have to talk to a recruiter but I think that would make you an E3

You won’t be wasting money if you buy everything at the shops because they will give you a card with money on it to use at the store and if you don’t use all the money on the card you basically lose it because the card won’t work anywhere else. Anything they take from you you’ll get back when you graduate. You can bring your glasses and contacts with you to have when you leave but they will make you wear Army issued glasses in basic. I also was not allowed to wear my contacts.

@@justalaysiaIsn't the card taking money out of your paycheck? So if you don't use it, will the money not be given back to you?

@@brexnnqcI’ve heard the same thing, that the money is taken out of paycheck.. I’m not sure what to believe anymore😂 I’m just gonna bring necessities and if they make me buy new ones, oh well, I’ll have extra for AIT🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m not sure if NG has a board for promotions or not but regardless you should know the creed before going. Other than that BLC is the same as AD. PRT is all about repetition. If you didn’t learn it in basic/AIT now is a good time to start reviewing. All the official PRT videos are on KZbin.

You’ll get duffle bags and you’ll have a locker next to your bed to lock everything up.

I didn’t at mine.

You’ll take everything they issue you in basic.

You can an have them in AIT but you can’t have them in basic so it might be best to have someone bring it to your basic training graduation or have them mail it when you get to AIT.

Good luck to you on your journey!

Thank you!

You don’t really need to study in advance, but if you don’t already know all of the PT verbiage or know how to march a formation then you can do some research/practicing before hand.

I would just study the acronyms for PRT and for DNC it’s an easy 100 if you call all your cadence on the correct foot. Consist of 2 rear march’s column left/right & the column half left/right both flanks. Really the only things you could study for now the rest is how you do in class. Public speaking, CIT and 2 essays just finished BLC last month @rileyfreeman7122

You can hold onto it. Your sleeping area will have wall lockers to lock up your belongings.

@@justalaysiais it a key lock or combination

Yea just keep it in the original packaging. Don’t transfer to travel sized bottles or anything like that.
