I was given a list by my recruiter but it was very vague, so I asked him myself and he was little to no more help.
What all do I bring exactly? And do I bring more than one pair of clothes? I don't know how soon we get issued our uniforms. I leave in a month. Any help would be appreciated.

In the Air Force I would say only bring the clothes you want to wear on the day you leave basic training. Because they on day 1 you will be issued everything you are allowed to have. Everything else goes into your suit case or bag and is locked up until you leave. That was 1980, so who knows by now you can probably keep your silky underwear and pacifier with you.

Every Army Future Soldier is provided with a BCT packing list, which is is the Guide for New Soldiers that is issued by MEPS on the day you DEP'ed In. You should have also been set up with an AKO account and access to futuresoldiers.com, which has a link for a BCT packing list and a printable pdf. You should use the packing list in the Guide for New Soldiers and on futuresoldiers.com. They are the same. That is the official packing list for Army BCT, so go to futuresoldiers.com and print it. I don't understand the disconnect with your recruiter over something as simple as this.

Someone can correct me if things have changed so much since the last century when I served. But shaving gear should be on the list.

They make you buy everything on your first trip to the PX. It's good to bring it so you can show up clean shaven but they force you to buy it all over again.

SPC (Join to see) - Yes, everyone was allowed to keep any personal shaving gear (non-electric) they had. The only way you got an electric razor was to have a shaving profile from the TMC.

They made me throw my razor out, more specifically a Specialist made me throw it out and one of the cadre told me don't worry about you'll buy a new one anyway.
