Packing List For OSUT

[ActiveDarwinism]

I did a search for this, and didn't immediately see anything directly addressing this. I'd search more, but I have to go to my dad's and spend time with him, and he doesn't have a computer. So I figured I might as well list some questions I have about what to bring to OSUT, and hope some others share my questions.

1) I'm a young kid, and get razor burn like a stripper with herpes when I shave. Is it allowed to bring your own high-speed razor and shaving cream to OSUT with you? Or if you do will they make you toss your shit away and buy stuff from the PX?

2) It says bring two sets of clothes, two towels, toiletries, etc. Should I really bring all this shit? Or will I be okay with a bar of soap, a towel, and the clothes on my back?

3) I bought a book to read during the shipping/reception. Should I even bother to bring it with?

4) I was going to bring a copy of The Ranger Handbook with me to OSUT. Will I catch hell for it?

5) How long do you wait in reception before they fit you for all your shit, and let you buy toiletries?

6) I heard they didn't let you PT during reception. Is this true, or can I find ways to do it?

7) Do you pay for anything with cash while in reception(a.k.a. should I bring any)?

Is there anything else you suggest I bring/don't bring?

Thats about it. Hope they help other DEPs as well. Sorry if those answers are really obviously listed, I just don't have the time to find them. Thank you in advance for your time, and sorry if I'm stepping on my dick asking them.

Thank you very much again Rangers, Veterans and other servicemembers.

Bring what the list tellsyou to. They tell you to bring it for a reason.

3) I bought a book to read during the shipping/reception. Should I even bother to bring it with?
While you are at reception I suggest you focus on why you are there don't bring any distractions.

4) I was going to bring a copy of The Ranger Handbook with me to OSUT. Will I catch hell for it?
Yes Bring it. Then you will not have to worry about time for extra PT.

5) How long do you wait in reception before they fit you for all your shit, and let you buy toiletries?
Don't worry about it. The Army will take care of your needs. Just focus on the task at hand.

6) I heard they didn't let you PT during reception. Is this true, or can I find ways to do it?
See answer to question 4

7) Do you pay for anything with cash while in reception(a.k.a. should I bring any)?
When I went through if I remember correectly the list my recruiter gave me said no more than $20.00 don't know if it has changed since then. To be honest I didn't need all of it.

Is there anything else you suggest I bring/don't bring? Bring your head on straight. Only focus on what you need to. Don't sweat the small shit.

Thats about it. Hope they help other DEPs as well. Sorry if those answers are really obviously listed, I just don't have the time to find them. Thank you in advance for your time, and sorry if I'm stepping on my dick asking them.

Look at the top of the page read the title...... Nothing about basic up there. However I will answer your questions.

1) I'm a young kid, and get razor burn like a stripper with herpes when I shave. Is it allowed to bring your own high-speed razor and shaving cream to OSUT with you? Or if you do will they make you toss your shit away and buy stuff from the PX?

Bring your own shaveing stuff. Nothing electric.

2) It says bring two sets of clothes, two towels, toiletries, etc. Should I really bring all this shit? Or will I be okay with a bar of soap, a towel, and the clothes on my back?

If it is on the packing list then bring it, meat rocket.

3) I bought a book to read during the shipping/reception. Should I even bother to bring it with?

No it will get confiscated as contraband later.

4) I was going to bring a copy of The Ranger Handbook with me to OSUT. Will I catch hell for it??

Yes .........why not learn how to be a soldier first ....lets work on the Rangerin' later.

5) How long do you wait in reception before they fit you for all your shit, and let you buy toiletries?

Quicker than you will like ...dont plan on much sleep.

6) I heard they didn't let you PT during reception. Is this true, or can I find ways to do it??

You arnt going to be there that long ...... sleep will be probably a higher priority.

7) Do you pay for anything with cash while in reception(a.k.a. should I bring any)?

no more than $50.00 you will issued a troop smart card ( debit card)so you will not need that much cash

Is there anything else you suggest I bring/don't bring?

You have a packing list ....USE IT

Dont listen to these guys!

This is what you need:

1 real good pocket knife.
1 survival knife.
A Fire Arm to go Hunting with.
As much porn as you can carry.
As many tobaco products as you can carry.
As much poggy bait as you can eat in 3 1/2 months.
A case of JD.
Swimming trunks for the pool at the Condo you'll be staying in.
A case of rubbers so you'll be covered for all the Babe's at the Condo.
And your P.O.V.




AAH, Yep' that should cover it!!

you can show up with nothing and as long as you have your orders and have a good attitude you will be OK.

I was in civies for about 30 minutes after that we were changed into PT's.
