Guys, the weather is pretty cold here on base in Newport (20s - 30s). Definitely bring winter clothes like long pants, sweatshirt, hat, and gloves. If you don't bring long pants/sweatshirt you will have to order them from amazon when you get here. Also bring laundry detergent pods to do laundry while in ROM and shampoo and soap or you will also have to order from amazon. Also, expect to have PT twice a day on the track. The meals aren't too bad either, no complaints from me. They have us doing some online coursework too so its not been too boring.
ANOTHER NOTE: You have to make accommodations for hotel if you arrive in Newport before Sunday. My recruiter told me I didn't need to, but he was wrong. There is a hotel on base and I was lucky that I arrived early enough that they were able to fit me in. Also, make sure to bring enough cash for the taxi from the airport. Mine costed about $110. Apparently none of the transportation vehicles are allowed on base so an UBER will work too and will probably be cheaper. And if you can, bring a few voided checks. You can avoid having to write down your banking information 50 times. One last thing, you are allowed to have personal electronics like laptops, tablets, etc. during ROM. Wifi isn't too bad and costs $15 a week.
