Do not bring originals. Only copies. If they needed the originals then the recruiter would have asked for them. You don't want the originals at boot camp....

I second that. Tim told them if they needed originals, they could wait on them or just go out and get them. He was fine, and actually, we're some of the only people I know that didn't have ANY pay issues while he was in boot/a-school.

Sorry to be redundant, but even my social security card should be a copy? I was under the impression I would at least have to bring that as an original.

My husband took his original social security card and mailed it back with no issues.

That's what I'm wondering, even if I took originals (my recruiter told me originals) wouldn't I be able to just ship them back home in The Box? They wouldn't need them after the first couple days right?

Not necessarily in "the box" (you will pack that pretty much right away), but yes, you'll have a chance to mail everything home. Just make sure someone at home knows to be looking for the envelope.

New here...so Im getting things started..got the major hurdles out of the way and now I am scheduled to take my ASVAB on Jan 12th. Not so nervous this time around...took it 4 years ago. Im ready to enlist, im excited. My concerns are the haircutting..how bad is it in BC? I have naturally curly hair, so the shorter it is...the more like a puff ball its going to end up being..haha!

Also, Ive seen photos of recruits in bc and some are a lil on the heavier side...im just trying to figure out why I am having such a difficult time enlisting...do my recruiters think im just trying to blow smoke and waste their time? Not my plan....I want to enlist. So...any study tips for the ASVAB, i know its basic knowledge. Any tips on weightloss? ANd any tips in general to a 26 year old who is going to enlist....thanks all! Nice to meet those of you who reply<3
