I'm looking for some clarification on differing perspectives of what to pack both in this thread and others such as the Stupid Questions thread. Quite a few people have expressed the necessity of packing strictly according to the "Required Items to Bring" list on the OCS website (i.e. five pairs of white briefs, 3 packs of white crew socks - no more, no style deviations, etc). Others have recommended bringing more than the recommended number of certain items as well as additional items not on the list.
Its been mentioned any excess/unrequired items will be placed in your lucky bag and remain unavailable for a certain period of time - my questions are how long do you typically go before you have access to your extra clothes, what is the reaction of the Candios administering Indoc when you show up with three times the required number of shirts, underwear, etc. (since you aren't obeying the instructions provided), and what happens if you bring items not mentioned such as boxers, electric razors, or foot spray?
I'm sure I'm overthinking the issue (as many seem to have in the past based on previous posts) - but I would appreciate any guidance a recent OCS graduate could provide.
Thank you.
