you don’t get “issued” shoes at OCS, you’re expected to have them once you get there. Just use common sense, running shoes, in good condition, hopefully not outrageous colors. They will inspect your shoes, and if they are not proper running shoes, the candios will take you to buy a proper pair, of course as soon as your class team authorizes that. Don’t be that person

Should or are we even allowed to bring other shoes besides running shoes and boots? We shouldn’t need to bring more than just a pair of running shoes and boots, right?
Thanks

Other shoes for what? The discotheque? No, running shoes and approved boots for your NWUs
Lmao @ the discotheque
Don't get anything that will make you stand out. Just good ole' running shoes. Make sure they arent trail runner or things with cleats on the bottom. Theyll make you get another pair.
Bring your best pair of dancing shoes. Don't you remember all the nights recreating the elaborate party ball scenes from An Officer and a Gentleman?

trying to find an image of the gold standard ninja star measuring tool? Everything I look at does not look like a star so just curios?

Nimitz cold in December/January? Its fine. Even King Hall was comfortable in December/January.
A blanket is necessary to avoid sleeping under the sheets. Which we all did. Every night. And remade our racks before 0500 reveille.

People swear by the Fox River socks. I have two pair and I think they’re vastly overrated. Just buy a 12 pack of high top Hanes black socks. I wear them every day in the fleet and have zero issue.

No need for anything extra.
Keep in mind you’re going to be receiving/buying a ton of uniforms, items, and whatnot while you’re in Newport. Adding more unnecessary crap makes it more difficult after you graduate.
Like @villo0692 said, he had 3 sea bags, two garment bags, and other bags. I left with 2 full sea bags, a large suitcase, a garment bag, duffel, and backpack.

Are you guys working yet down there in Pensacola? Or is it still beach parties and grill outs?
