Boot Camp-What Not To Bring
The following list of items should not be brought Boot Camp.
Not bringing these items will make your transition from civilian
life to military life easier. Ask your Recruiter for a more
detailed list.

-
Family

Pets
-
Privately owned vehicles
-
Cameras

Radios

Your recruiter should give you a list of what you can and
cannot bring. While it may be cool in high school to loosely
interpret "can do" and "cannot do" rules, don't try this in
boot camp. If it isn't on the list, don't bring it. Drill
Sergeants have a way of using selective new recruits to demonstrate
the failings of civilian society for the rest of the recruits.
