We just had a meeting with three Chief Petty Officers, a Captain, and two Officers, and the Officers said that when you go to boot camp you only need copies of your marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc. I've read that you need to actually have the originals. Which one is right? I'd much rather just take copies and keep the originals safely at home if I can.

Copies only. Do not bring orginals... If they want to investigate it, then let them investigate it.

What Craig said.. Copies. You don't need originals, and if they say you do, tell them to get it themselves.

My kid literally threw EVERYTHING in the box. The only thing she kept was her drivers license and calling card. Take a moment when your there and try to collect your thougthts while their screaming at you. KEEP the things you want. lol

She said she was so freaked that she didnt want ANY trouble and just dumped everything...toothbrush, everything in and including her wallet, and her addresses. She said afterwards she realized what she had done.

Default If you need glasses......

Something that fails to make every list I look at - for people who wear contacts, BRING GLASSES TO BOOT CAMP!

You will be issued glasses after being there about a week or two, but until then you will only be allowed to wear your civilian glasses - not contacts. I have seen so many recruits go through hell because they couldn't see or read anything that first week......
