Good evening Marines,
I'm sure it's come up a lot but the search function didn't turn up anything so here goes. I just graduated recruit training Friday and I'm trying to get organized and prepared for MCT, marking and squaring away uniforms and gear.
I was wondering what to expect at MCT and if there was any advice or tips the Marines here had for excelling there. How much could I possibly improve my pro cons while at MCT? Mine aren't horrible or anything but I can do better and plan to.
Also I've got family who are dead set on buying me graduation gifts so I was looking at a Camelbak from Grunt.com, are these allowed at MCT? Are they issued? Also my best friend bought me a pair of Danners, they have EGAs embedded so I think they're good to go. Would these be ok to take to MCT or do I need to stick to what I was issued in boot?
When I first report do I need to wear the garrison or barracks cover? Also, I want to be able to give my family an idea of how many phone calls they might expect from me while I'm at MCT. I know I can bring a cell but I've heard time to use it is very limited.
I can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm enjoying leave right now but I'm already looking forward to MCT, if there's anything I've forgotten that someone thinks I should know I appreciate any and all advice.
Thank you Marines
