‼ PLEASE READ ‼ Hey yall! I don’t normally ask for anything but if yall are able to and willing I would really appreciate it if you could donate to this GoFundMe! It’s for my ex-girlfriend Chloe, we’ve remained good friends over the years, and right now she’s fighting a really tough battle with chronic pancreatitis, among other health issues! It’s changed her life significantly and she’s only getting worse, it pains me to see her like that, she can’t walk anymore, she can barley keep food or water down, she’s resorted to eating honey packets because that’s all she can hold down most days if at all! Any donation would mean the world to me and to her and her family!

My experience in the late 90s they gave me a packing list and my mom spent like 200 bucks on it and none of it was used. It all got locked away because it was the wrong kind as I was told and then I had to run with that heavy ass bag up and down the hills in Fort Jackson, if I could do it again, I would’ve brought nothing but my clothes, my birth certificate, and paperwork. And there were no cell phones so that would’ve been a non-issue. The army will literally give you everything else.

Prior service question (well was a direct commission in the AF)…a. Do prior service bay up with the rest or do they have them separate from the pack (bay wise). B. Can I bring my own boots if I wear them at reception? Sounds like a “no” but just curious.

Depends on where you go. We had a prior service guy from the Air Force he was an E5 they made him do the same things we did sleep in the same bay as we did. They didn’t give him any special privileges or treat him any differently. Now if you are switching MOS that’s different you’ll stay with what is called the MOS-T’s in a whole different barracks you’ll be called by rank rather than call a trainee etc
