Yes, no one is that cruel, lol.
Not only are they allowed, they are also issued and there use highly recommended by all the staff.
Also the dress shoes with uniform will will have to buy? 13EE is my shoes siZe hope they can accommodate that.
I'm 14 EE to 15 so hopefully
I guess my only hope is they dont PDQ for big ass, wide feet
You pay for everything that is issued. The uniform store will probably have to special order your shoes.

They were inspection items when I went through. Whether that's the case now or not, use them. My feet got messed up enough without catching diseases in the shower.

You won't be needing it. You don't have control of your own time to just pop over to the gym and work out.
Candio phase, you'll probably have time, and you'll still have access.
One of the first things they do there is the boring admin stuff like setting up your pay (as opposed to fun exciting stuff like getting yelled at and PTing a lot). You'll get paid biweekly while you are there at the E-5 base pay rate, and then your pay will go up when you commission.

Regarding what to wear to check-in. . .
I figured I'd show up in chinos and a polo, which seemed appropriate to me, but now I'm having second thoughts.
Looking through the check-in Sunday photos on the OTC Facebook page, I notice some trends. If you are wearing pants, they are tucked into your socks. However, if you are wearing ankle socks, then you roll your pants up. But if you are wearing shorts, then neither is necessary. I don't really consider shorts to be "appropriate civilian attire," but since everyone else does, it seems like the best choice here. Not that it's that big of a deal, but this is the 'stupid questions' forum. So, any input? Is there any reason not to wear shorts?

Your over thinking things. Wear something comfortable/casual that you don't mind getting covered in sweat. I wore a nice polo a which I now regret, because sometime during check in it was permanently stained. If your really worried, wear neutral colors if you think you'll stick out
Also, don't you check out with the clothes you checked in with? November 21 in the RI would be no time for wearing shorts...
Edit: I'm not sure that DETERMINED15 has gone through OCS yet, but can't argue with her reasoning.

He bowls overhand.
They have a NEX on the base in case you forget. But a better idea, if you know you're changing seasons, is to leave a pair of winter clothes in your trunk and wear the summer clothes upon check-in, so you don't run around in a winter jacket and sweater in the middle of August.
