Marine OCS Packing List

This video includes information about the items I am bringing with me to OCS this year and tips that helped me get through PLC Juniors. Let me know if you have any questions.
Edit: forgot to include a small towel for the beginning of OCS before they issue some for showering

[@RetiringCaeser2]

Don’t you get issued a second pair of boots? I have already bought some bates lights but if I get a second pair issued could those inspection boots?

[@IHazSniper2]

Did they issue scissors?

[@stephaniejones1133]

Do you recommend labeling socks? Is there a specific way to label your socks that fall in line with regs?

[@seandonovan5220]

Good rule of thumb for life in general, mark everything. There is no regulation for labeling your socks, they don’t care enough for that. But if you don’t want to lose any of your stuff, then label it

[@tjschakow]

Shampoo? For what?

[@awesomeoandrew]

I'm shipping to jrs In a month and I have heard mixed answers, but are you allowed to bring one pair of boots or two?

[@seandonovan5220]

Andrew W you are allowed to bring up to 3. You will really only ever use two pairs, with the third if you choose to bring would be used for inspection.

[@jacquiv3515]

what size mesh laundry bag did you bring? and where’d you get it from?

[@seandonovan5220]

27x35 inch laundry mess bag from Amazon

[@tjschakow]

Where did you get the stencils?

[@seandonovan5220]

They issue the stencils to you.

[@sx99cornell]

are you allowed to bring THREE pairs of running shoes? 1 for PFT only, and 2 for trail running.

[@seandonovan5220]

You definitely could, but you need to consider the limited amount of space you will have between the foot and wall locker. 3 pairs of running shoes is a little excessive. I believe two is honestly perfect.

[@sx99cornell]

@@seandonovan5220 Thanks! Super light racing shoes really help me with PFT road run, but they won't survive the trail, and consider the possibility of getting wet, that's why I am asking. Have you ever seen/heard of anyone bringing three pairs though?

[@seandonovan5220]

@@sx99cornell I have not, in fact, most ppl aren’t prepared and only bring one pair.

[@williamprowse8054]

Hey man! Where’d you get those labels? Shipping in June.

[@seandonovan5220]
