You will not be issue underwear there. They will be out of pocket. They will only issue items in the OCR, pretty sure you can find it on here somewhere. Socks etc, they will only issue a certain amount, however, you can buy more out pocket. Everything is out of pocket honesty. The allowance they will provide does not cover the total cost of the issue items.

The Real Navy OCS Packing List

If you go searching the internet for what you need to bring to OCS you’ll end up finding a lot of answers varying widely in their usefulness. One guide I saw published by the Navy itself said you needed to bring seven pairs of white underwear. Another recommendation from

Ok. I have a packing question. When I went through bootcamp, they provided everything.

The OCS packing list has items we should bring. Will they provide whatever I don’t bring? For example, I can wear the navy issued tighty whiteys. I don’t care enough to buy my own before hand. But I do care about some nice boot socks. So will everything I don’t bring be provided? Or will I be hemmed up for not bringing 7 pairs of my own white socks?

Bring your own underwear. You’ll be issued boot socks, but you should bring nice ones anyway bc the issued ones aren’t great tbh

The white socks they give you are pretty solid, but you might want to bring more bc you’ll need to keep a few pairs clean for inspections

YMMV. I've been wearing my OCS-issue boot socks every day I've put on NWUs or a flight suit, and three years in they're still going strong. Bring your own, but your feet aren't going to fall off if you forget.

This might be a silly question, how often are you putting on NWUs as a naval aviator?

In A-Pool, you'll probably wear your khakis more bc that's the uniform for most of the watches and what you have to wear to the all hands meetings. I wear NWUs all the time bc of my stash job at the naval aviation museum

I’m a bit worried I may have accidentally lied at MEPS. So i took adhd meds my freshman year of college however I never had an IEP or 504 plan in high school. In that year i got test accommodations and therapy from the school, I called and asked the disability office and they told me that accommodations did not count as an IEP or 504. I also asked my recruiter and he said that didn’t count as an IEP or 504 and to leave it out at MEPS. Now I’m feeling worried because I feel like these accommodations really would be something they would want to know about and I’m fearful now that this will bite me in the butt and honestly it’s weighing on my conscience.

As long as you were complete and honest with what you told your recruiter, and they told you it didn't count and to leave it out, then I would not sweat it. The worst that will possibly happen is they will just tell you no.

If you were prescribed medication or a doctor said you had ADHD you have to disclose, it doesn't matter if you didn't have an IEP or anything else. It goes back to the medical questionnaire where they ask "Have you ever had or do you have now" and one of the questions is specific to ADHD, in addition since you were prescribed meds it will almost certain pull up via genesis.

Oh I disclosed the diagnosis and perscription of medication. I just did not say anything about the college accommodations because they did not fall under the umbrella of 504 or IEP. I am just worried now that I should have said something. Her specific question was “have you ever been given an IEP or 504 plan” which I have not.

OK that is good, I thought you didn't disclose the meds or diagnosis. If that info is on the paperwork it is just a matter or working through the process.

This is a dumb question, but female specific. When reporting to OCS, should my hair be up in a bun or should I keep it down? I do not plan on cutting it.
