Hmmm, I didn't hear of a "box" for girls per say. but that might be right. HOwever, I know of a couple of OCS grads that snuck two laptops and a digital camera in their room!! And they "say" their DI was very strict. Plus, I'm lucky..i own an SUV that can double as a nice storage compartment. I plan on bringing doubles of everything..so that way I'm ready for inspection. (2 pairs of running shoes, more white socks, shirts, etc.) I've heard it's the best way to go and doesn't hurt to buy extra uniforms once you get there...that way you have a "display" item and others you actually use or PT in. You don't spend all your time preparing for inspections and the class I know that did this got liberty at week 4!!! Anyhow, just a tip...
