Things you are allowed to bring to RTC

Good, now for the rest? I'm not really planning on bringing everything I can but what about a bag, change of clothes for the Hotel, envelopes and stamps, wallet with stuff in said wallet. I think that's all I'm bringing..

My brother joined the Navy last year and all he brought was his wallet (with his NFCU card, Social security card and driver's license), passport and phone. The box that he had to mail back home had his civilian clothes and mobile phone in it. He told me not to bring anything. The Navy will provide everything you need at boot camp.

What happens with civilian glasses? I'm assuming they don't get sent home in the box since it's packed the first night before the new glasses are ready. Do they get kept in the locked drawer for the rest of boot camp?

During your P-week you'll get bootcamp issued glasses (not the hideous BCGs of the day, but small black ones). Until those are made and distributed, you'll wear your civilian glasses. Once you get your BC glasses, you put your civilian glasses in your A&B drawer until graduation. But yes, you keep your civilian glasses at bootcamp the whole time.
