Uh, where do you live? haha That may sound kinda stupid but I was thinking about it the other day and ... well is it in Barracks or is in just housing on base?

I mean, 6 months is a long time to be in a barracks, although here at school, Virginia Military Institute, I am doing it for 4 years, so I guess another 6 months won't kill me haha

Thanks

I guess it's like a college dorm. You share with another guy and a "brown bagger" who lives with his wife somplace else (place for him to crash during late night ops). So college dorm sized.. .three racks. . bathroom in your room to share and inspect. Lots of cupboards.

Yep... it definetely is like a college dorm room. I would like to add that when you move into your BOQ room you shouldn't take more with you than you can fit into one car. It's essential to have a computer with a printer, and a photocopier will be worth it's weight in Gold.

Yeah, and how many get married just so they can get their own place? Might just be worth it...

Also, how do they assign roomates? Randomly?
And, if you go to mike co. do you stay in the same room throughout tbs as well or get a new one when you pick up with you training company?

You will field day every Thursday. At first inspections will be a complete pain in the ass... For the first week in my platoon noone passed field day (not even the salty priors). As time went on it got more and more lax. Eventually (week 9 or 10) my SPC put it on the student billet holders to inspect and then report to him. At this point (week 19) we don't get inspected anymore, but we field day still happens (supposedly) Thursday nights. Keep in mind that this is all SPC dependant. You may have an SPC that still reams you and makes you stand inspections on saturday week 23 (and yes this did actually happen to the last company). You may also get an SPC who doesn't really inspect from day 1 as well.

Roommate selection is random. If you are in Mike Company you can enjoy the reality of being told you are moving every two weeks. Your roommates will switch all the time until you get into week 1 or 2 of training with a real company (anything other than mike), and only then will your roommates pretty much be locked until you graduate.

What are the rooms like exactly? Can you bring a TV, computer, etc? Is there internet access/cable tv ports? Can anybody give some good info as to what we should bring vs. what we should leave at home? I'm headed to TBS in September (hopefully) and it just dawned on me that I really have no clue what I should bring with me.

Hey PSno23!

I am not sure how much good this will be, but I have helped two people pack for TBS now (BF and good friend) and am pretty sure of what they kept, bought or wished they hadn't :)

Everyone has a TV, DVD or something like that... the rooms have fridges and some microwaves I think if one was left there or something.. from what I can gather, having a laptop and printer is a must in each room... I think you can get a cable modem, but most people just use the phone line to connect... Don't bring a Foreman or anything like that though... My friend regretted that packing decision... Somebody else can probably give you better info on the day to day stuff like clothing, but from what I understand bring going out clothes because you will be almost every weekend :)

Hope I helped a little...
