What will I be able to take with me when I go to the Marines boot camp?

Im going to bed, and wont be able to respond to your questions until tomorrow. So, gd.

Your favorite pillow and blanket. Not sure about Teddy bear. Seriously - ask your Recruiter.

Are you a native-born Irishman, Thomas O'Reilly?
I ask because every USMC boot platoon at Parris Island I've ever heard of includes; one such son of Ireland, known as "the Irishman, one Jewish recruit, known as "the Jew", and a Native American, known as "the chief".

Your pride in knowing if you don't give up, you'll earn a title few have. U.S. Marine.

Bring a book with important addresses for letters. Put Stamos in a small ziplock (makes them waterproof).

My earlier post was wrong on optional stuff. Here is a packing list from military.com
Marine Corps
Marine Corps recruiters are very straightforward, here is what they say you HAVE to HAVE:

Driver’s license or Picture ID
$20 (approximately)
The clothes on your back
The recruiter said everything else is taken care of prior to shipping to basic training.
