Packing And Travel
Once your flight chief (TSgt Wells) knows that you have a ship date, you will receive a BMT information email. That email will include a document containing an explicit packing list of everything you should bring. Use that document rather than trying to create a separate packing list from memory or from unofficial sources.
Bag size and extra items: Keep everything in a carry-on-sized bag. You may bring a couple of extra items, such as underwear, deodorant, or PT socks, but BMT staff will decide whether they are allowed. Anything not allowed will be placed back in your bag and secured in a locked storage facility until graduation; it will not be thrown away or wasted. A few extras are reasonable, but do not overpack.
Documents: Bring every document identified in the BMT information email. Bring the original documents; under the current local process, you do not need to bring separate copies. The original documents will be locked up and kept safe during training.
General rule: The most recent BMT information email, orders, amended orders, and instructions provided during out-processing or training control what applies. This FAQ explains the local process in more detail but does not replace newer written guidance.
