UPDATE: Took out most of the 'optional' non- necessary items, and replaced my bag with a more comfortable and sturdy plain black backpack.
For my fellow sisters-in-arms out there who are being shipped off soon and need some guidance on what you should bring with you to BCT. I'm personally going to Fort Jackson, for those of you who are curious. If I didn't go over something you wanted to hear, just let me know, and I'll answer your question as quickly as I can! :)
Hope this helps! Happy 273rd Birthday to the US ARMY! Hooah
