I ship out in exactly a week. I know I need to bring no more then the clothes on my back, SS card, and $20 dollars cash. I hear different things about other stuff though. Do I need to bring my own sports bras and white underwear, or do they supply those? What about contacts and glasses? I know I can't wear contacts during training and they will provide me with glasses, but can I wear contacts on graduation day? Feminine care products? And also, the booklet says females can bring hairdryers, is this true? And if I were to bring my cellphone, would they store it with the rest of my stuff, or ship it home? Thanks for any help.
What do I take with me to USMC boot camp?

Bring your ID too. Also an address book and a few wallet sized pix are ok too.
Everything else you need will be issued. As for feminine products all that stuff can be bought at the px.
Don't bring your contacts you'll issued BC glasses. You can if you want, but you have to sneak that shizz. You're not supposed to wear contacts. Especially in the gas chamber.
All the excess stuff you bring that is not allowed will be shipped home. You're cell phone will be shipped home.
As soon as you get off the bus there will be a shakedown where they go through all your crap and let you know what you can and can't keep.

the best thing I can tell you, is to contact your recuter, they can tell you
your recruiter should have told you what to bring. But I know you do need to bring your own sports bras and white underwear, your glasses not contacts, Feminine care products, no hair dryer( you can bring but you can't use till grad day), and they would store your cell phone. anything else you need you can buy there.

You do not need to bring anything. They will supply you with underwear, bras, undershirts, uniforms, socks, boots, pt shoes, everything clothes-wise. You can bring shampoo, soap, razors, tampons, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. But they will give you a chance to buy all this at boot camp (unless your getting your period soon might wanna bring that stuff) Also when you go to boot camp they will issue you some fancy BCG(Birth Control Glasses 
) So unless your really really blind just leave those behind and dont bring contacts because you wont be able to wear them until graduation and even then you can have your family send them to you. If you bring a hair dryer you are basically putting yourself out in the open to be yelled and screamed at for hours about how much of a princess you are so DONT bring hair dryers or straighteners or any of that crap ok. If you bring your cell they will send it home with the rest of your clothes and other illegal items that you will have to pay to be sent home so dont pack many unnecissary things. Good luck I wish I joined the marines now im stuck in the navy for 4 more yrs. Shits weak
