Love the video! Are we allowed to bring perfume or scented oil as long as its not overpowering?

[@justalaysia]

It depends. Most drill sergeants would say no, but you don’t want be wearing that kind of stuff anyways. You’ll be outside all day every day and it’ll attract bugs.

[@Barbie4429]

Oh okay thank you!

[@lingyuchen9669]

Since you have to bring everything they issued you from basic with you to AIT, do they need you to dump the two fully packed duffels when you arrived at your ait?

[@justalaysia]

I didn’t at mine.

[@dylanzvibez4589]

Do you need to take the cold weather jackets and waffles etc.? And the AGSU? To AIT?

[@justalaysia]

You’ll take everything they issue you in basic.

[@haliyajemmie381]

Where will we fit the stuff that they issue us at basic? Will they give us another bag/duffel or do we have to fit it in our original bag that we came with?

[@justalaysia]

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

[@amandagreer9339]

Hey, can we bring our own hair products, lotion? And etc?

[@justalaysia]

Yes

[@morningstarrss]

@@justalaysia bruh I'm dumb 😭

[@jamiewalters7401]

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.

Can I bring a Laptop to basic training and AIT?

[@justalaysia]

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.

[@justalaysia]
