EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...wrong answer.

Bring some civie clothes...your favs......

Otherwise you will be looking like a big dork when you are let out during basic and airborne and RIP......AND, *IF* you become a hooah, ya usually wear something other then BDU's when hunting split-tails.....

OR - you can create a package with your civilian stuff in it and have it shipped out to you when you are near the end of AIT. I think when I was in, we got one break - a night out - when we graduated Basic Training and had to go in our Class B's. Didn't see our civies until the very end of AIT.

Not a bad idea...

We had one day pass, which I lost for some reason, and a "family day".

I hear rumors about weekends off, but then I hear a lot of "Nope, not us" on that one too....

I remember getting off the bus at Basic from Reception and having to hold our civilian bags out at arms length for a time, probably 10 minutes which seemed like an hour. Those who brought lighter bags didn't have it so bad.

I'd pack a box with three to five sets of clothes now, geared towards the climate/weather when you will graduate AIT and be in Airbone School. Have someone label and ship it to you at AIT to arrive about 2-3 weeks before AIT graduation.

You will have every night off at Airborne School, but you still need to stay focused on what's next. It's not exactly 'Party Time' and if you're focused on passing RIP you won't treat it as such.

I don't think any weekends off would happen until you have only about the last three weeks, if at all. They are starting to compress basic/AIT to get more training in now also, so you may not get anytime off at all, although one stress free weekend between basic and AIT would probably continue to be the norm.
