so I'm trying to think of how I can bring my shampoo and condition and body wash and other hair care products and a razor... since I'm flying, I'm not able to have liquid contains that are more than 3.5 fluid ounces. That's not enough to get through even two weeks. Any ideas?

the women's list is much the same except that we are to bring hair styling products, other basic female needs, and a one piece bathing suit.

@haimehhh that might be the way I need to go to have someone else take it up there for me.

I'm starting this weekend! Thanks for the comprehensive list! However, you may want to add a lighter and some form of shoe shine.

The lighter will help with uniform frays and shoe shining.

@RSWid, last time I flew there was no "checked baggage" limit of amount of fluid. In other words, as long as you have your fluids in checked baggage, you should be able to carry as much as you wish.

@Zachary Rhoades I wasn't planning to check a bag. My OR recommended that I don't because the off chance that it gets lost and then I'm left without the things that I need. I don't want to stress about it all flight.

I have found mixed answers and my recruiter is not much help. During ocs if we are married will our wife receive BAH pay? I am concerned because I will not be able to support her during these three months and may need to take out a loan during this time for rent payments and such.

depends on the airport– LAX is usually strict on all the rules, even for domestic flights.


guess that answers the question about wrinkle spray.

It also sounded that we did not need crew shirts? I may have misinterpreted that though?
