SGT Private RallyPoint Member 5222562 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So i dont have issued gear such as the basic training boots they issue, body armor and camel back. Like most fresh privates i got rid of all that crap when i graduated BCT 4 years ago. Question is since im making the switch to full time and reclassing, would it be ok to bring my own ocp plate carrier, my own boots, a different camel back and sewn on uniforms ? I dont want to seem like an individual when i get to Benning. 2019-11-10T18:55:46-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 5222562

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Going to OSUT I would absolutely not bring any other than issued gear. As for your plate carrier, even after school most units/commands will not authorize non-issue protective gear for use while training. It simply isn&#39;t guaranteed to meet minimum standards, meaning it&#39;s unsafe.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Be advised though, I highly recommend you ask prior to wearing non issued in front of trainee.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recommend you download 670-1 and understand both the pamphlet and reg. Whether it is your first day back on active duty or your last, people cannot bust your balls if you understand policy.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You should be given a packing list of what you are allowed to bring to OSUT, which isn&#39;t much. When I went in, it was the cloths you were wearing, gym shoes, a change of underwear, and a very basic shaving kit. Even your street cloths will go into storage once they give you your basic issue. Save your money, use what&#39;s issued and wait until you get to your unit to get all that cool tactical gear.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take nothing of you’re own personal “military” gear. Everything you need will be issued to you from CIF when you arrive, just like your first time. <br /><br />Good luck.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Do not bring a bunch of personal gear like plate carriers etc. you will not be allowed to wear it.
