RT supplies

[ChristianB]

So in RT we get supplies (Underwear, toothbrush, boots, shirts, etc). I am curious as to IF we get to keep any of these things when we leave and also about how much do these things cost? Thanks for your help!

No, you must turn in all underwear and toothbrushes when you leave Recruit training.
Razors will be sharpened prior to turn in. Soap will be buffed to a high gloss. Dental Floss will be washed, then hung out to dry.

It will all then be recycled to the next recruit, and so on....


PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.







Sorry, but that's what you get for making me (and another Marine) spuge coffee/tea on the screen and keyboard.

To answer the question....you KEEP your personal hygiene items, uniforms, and everything else. It's called 'seabag issue'. You also get to make PX runs to buy more razors, soap, etc. Yes, you get charged for all of it. NO, I don't know the cost. Perhaps your recruiter can give you the answer on that.

And I'm closing this one lest someone else chime in with some sort of other inappropriate commentary.
