uh oh, starting to feel a little tension between the NCs in the house. hehe question, are we issued a new pair of running shoes at OCS? i heard that we are supposed to bring our own for the first week, but we are issued a new pair after that. also, this may be the dumbest damn question in the world, but do our (guys) briefs have to actually be briefs, or can they be "boxer briefs"?? anyone know what the heck i'm talking about? they aren't boxers, but the longer, tighter type briefs. i hate regular briefs, but suppose i could handle it for 13 weeks, lol. are we allowed to wear a watch the entire time we are there, or is that just for exercise purposes? will the 5 copies of our orders be in the package from our recruiter when we pick it up before we leave, or are we supposed to make 5 copies of it? trying to get all this stuff together. anyone else currently have a job and leaving it to become an officer besides myself and Mike? if so, are you just going to store your things in storage for a few months and then have them moved down later? do single people have the option of living in an apartment offbase? if so, does the Navy provide housing allowance for those who choose to do so? or are single people only offered BOQ? we don't have to pay extra for BOQ right?? kinda confused about the whole living arrangements subject after OCS. any answers and guidance appreciated, thanks!
