😂😂🔥🔥Chapsticks definitely on deck!

[@-rainiasnebula-4949]

SUMMARY: 1) lotion 2) 20 dollars [for hair products, bring small sizes] 3) chapstick 4) makeup [have your hair braided before bootcamp if you have an afro, it's a life saver] 5) hair products 6) watch/waterproof with alarm [no apple watch] 7) insoles [those boots will make your feet ugly] 8) address book/calendar book 9) phone cards 10) hygiene products [toothpaste, toothbrush] 11) extra underwear 12) black mask [THEY GIVE YOU EVERYTHING, BUT YOU CAN BRING EXTRA OR THINGS THAT IS A BARE NECESSITY, DON'T BRING TOO MUCH] (tysm for this video, I'm preparing for the military once I graduate from high school :D)

[@jdgoodwin3136]

I brought identification, my plane ticket, my wallet, a little cash, and the clothes on my back. That's it. The Navy put all that in a box once I arrived, and provided everything from that point forward.

[@michaelwatson9089]

That is all you need. Well I went in when there wasn't any social media. Was scratching my head on what to bring videos all over KZbin. Your recruiter tells you what to bring, unless they don't like you and you bring a suitcase of clothes.

its so nicce seeing another woman of color!! I get nervous about what id need for my hair , etc. UR my new favorite comfort youtuber

[@mackenziesams4338]

my ship out date got moved up to less than a month from now and i've definitely been panicking trying to learn everything that i should know before then... i've watched all of your videos, they're the most helpful ones i've seen!!

[@Alianrich98]

You are super helpful I have watch countless videos thank you for being honest and realistic you awesome

[@angelbrahh]

Loved your video. I imagine myself preparing with all my lil “extras” then getting scared once I’m there and just boxing it all up. 🙃

[@cchantae_]

Haha 😂 I was feeling the same wayy...but when u get in the room they’re gonna tell you to put the things that u need in your seabag and the unnecessary stuff u gotta pack in your box 📦...that moment is the only chance you get to put your stuff u need in the sea bag

[@ReymarBolo]

Thank you so much! Was supposed to ship out Dec and now I just found out I’m shipping Tuesday Aug 10. This vid was a life saver!

How much time do u have between graduation and a school? Can u go back home to get some stuff or are u shipped right after graduation?

[@amadoub3942]

lover ur accent

[@stephaniezephir]

What insoles would you recommend

[@yumiko0017]

I’m not sure if you touched on soaps..I can only use Dial in scented. Is it ok if I bring that?

[@CODEnKODE]

When you bring your own clothing, do you put that in your sea bag? Or the in the box that they give back when you graduate from boot camp? I asked my recruiter if I could bring my IPad for A school but I wasn’t sure if I should do that when I ship out and but it in the box or just have my family send it through a package when in school 🥲(same with my Apple Watch and etc)

[@mazzziiieee1812]

In the very beginning you’ll put everything in a box that they put in storage and you won’t get it back till the end so just bring it and pack it in the box

[@maikolmedina3112]

[@judyturay5824]

What about pads?

[@sugarplumtania8022]

Can we bring our phones?

[@davenacampbell4402]

I leave tomorrow & I’m rewatching this… If your traveling on the plane there’s certain stuff that your limited to take such as lotion, oil, etc. So will they have any form of hair oil?

[@cchantae_]

Nope… they have that liquid stuff but it did nothing for me lol… bring your own just put it in a small container

[@amberbice8543]

What about period undies?

[@aikomayes2386]

So the box braids like you have in in this video.. i can go into boot camp with those? Do they have to be braided all the way down?

[@cchantae_]

Yes you can…but I’d suggest getting them a little smaller so they can last longer

[@nasiriyahdavis7233]

Can you please talk about your overall boot camp experience and could you talk about the swim test. I’ll be shipping out soon and I’m scared of the swim test and then kinda yelling at me😭😭

So do they give you certain hygiene products when you get there or is it just the trip to the NEX? Thanks for the tips!

[@cchantae_]

Yes they give you shower gel, shower shoes, wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, lotion, underwear, bra etc...they literally give you everything you need✨

[@carolinapadilla1941]

@@cchantae_ does that also include pads or should you bring your own pads from home?

[@morganholland3511]

Can you clarify about the process of graduating boot camp and going to A school? Do you need someone to ship a box to you once in A school, or can they bring it at graduation? And do they actually ship the box (from the first day) back home or keep it until you graduate bootcamp? I also SOOO appreciate you making this video!! I was nervous about packing black girl products and them taking it away 😅😅

[@babygrinch]

You can't collect anything from your family at graduation, not even your phone. They do ship your items directly to your family as soon as you get to boot camp.

[@morganholland3511]

@@babygrinch so you go straight to A school with just your uniforms from bootcamp?

[@babygrinch]

@@morganholland3511 After boot camp you might have to wait a while to get to A school depending on if they have space available - some people wait a couple days, some people have to wait a couple weeks. But while you're waiting for A school, you can have your personal belongings. Just not directly after graduation while you're still technically in boot camp

[@morganholland3511]

@@babygrinch ahh okay so if I’m in the waiting period, do I get to go home if it’s a couple of weeks or do they house people?

[@babygrinch]

@@morganholland3511 Unfortunately as far as I'm aware, you can't travel while you're on hold. But chances are you will go to A school sooner rather than later.

Can you wear your hair in twists in boot camp. My hair isn't long enough to put in a bun.

[@cchantae_]

Yes you’re fine

[@caramartinezsandoval3450]

Can you bring bottles of products bigger that 4oz?

[@cchantae_]

Yes..but it all depends…just remember that you don’t have much space

[@chilothecreator]

can you bring face wash?

[@notshadow1667]

Edgar to pack navy bootcamp

[@jaylove1931]

How often are you allowed to call people?

[@cchantae_]

During bootcamp I got like 3 phone calls…but it all depends on your RDC because they can reward the division with a phone call (which rarely ever happens) orrrr they can take away your scheduled phone call 💯 so if u have a phone call scheduled make sure the division is on its best behavior lol 😂

[@Darrion2411]

Can you bring vaseline
