I think personally, if it was me, I'd find a used Honda or Toyota SUV for around 1,200, and then spend 800 dollars on gear for living out of that vehicle, including gear to live in case that vehicle breaks down within the next year.Ĩ00 dollars on gear is actually plenty of money.I'll give you a rough list just as example: North Carolina isn't exactly the arctic tundra, so don't go crazy.īut six pair of fresh, standard issue wool socks, and a similar number of fresh standard issue t-shirts are cheap investments. Lots of recruits exit Boot Camp with foot, ankle or shin issues, and they have no choice but to grin & bear it during Boot Camp.īut after Boot Camp, you can spend some money and throw some technology at the problem. Save the rest of your money to make sure he has fresh regulation socks, t-shirts and whatever kind of boot insert he thinks appropriate. Just make sure it has a belt pouch of some sort with a good closure mechanism (snap or velcro, nothing with a magnet). That's gonna suck.įor graduation, you might consider something like a nice Leatherman multi-tool.
He's gonna graduate end of January - early February then, right? Obviously fill it with appropriate mailing addresses & phone numbers. Tape a couple of wallet sized photos inside one of those. Recruits are authorized to keep a small address book. (Plus whatever else his Recruiter tells him to bring, obviously.)

Put him on the bus with his driver's license with a $20bill wrapped around it with a rubber band, and the clothes on his back. He honestly doesn't need a damned thing as he leaves for Boot Camp.
My son is leaving for Paris Island on the 28th.Ī small correction: It's Parris Island.
