Anyone have any idea how much money my husband needs to come with? I saw on the list of things to bring to NSI that you should bring $100 cash, and I thought somewhere else it said to have $500 available. I just for the life of me can't think of what he'll need $500 for. Things like eating out, gas, tolls, etc can come out of the regular family budget, eat at the galley, show up with everything you need, and I would think $100 would cover incidentals. $500 is a lot to put away so soon after the holiday! Would appreciate anyones input.
I didn't bring any cash last year and didn't have a problem. If he has a debit card then he doesn't need cash.

Uniforms
Was just contacted via email by Marine in charge of all marine BOOST students and he stated "new service uniform will only be allowed if all members of BOOST class have said uniform. All students must be "uniform" in what uniform they wear." (referencing Navy BOOST class)

So, what's the deal with liberty for members with off base housing? Are we going to be locked down for the first 6 weeks or so? Current or former BOOST/NSI members please respond as many future students need answers. Thanks

This was found on the BOOST 22 FEB09 Thread
I'm assuming that is for Navy and Marine. If so, I'm sorry for anybody who doesn't have or want to bring their old service blues. Thtat's the only uniform I have because: 1. my region isn't selling them yet and 2. I'm not wasting money on the shirt to wear for 3 months. Sorry again in advance!

Just buy the dang kakhi shirt when you get to RI...you will wear it latter any wayz... just take of your enlisted paygrade and put on your ugly Anchor
It is way better than having to button the top button on the blues and wear a tie all day...and the creases are already there...I'm not lazy, but thats just nice to have.
Is this the kind of attitude you always have? If so then you are in for a real humbling experience.
Where do you get off telling someone to go buy a uniform just because you don't want to wear one? Grow up. It is not always about you.
If I am the only one who shows up without the khaki shirt (highly unlikely) I will give in. With the uniform being so new I'm willing to bet there will be plenty of us with only the old blue top.
Thought I remember reading these new shirts won't carry over to the required uniforms for officers. Not for sure though and never cared because I didn't plan on buying them anyways. Time to do some research.

The new service uniform khaki shirts are not transferrable to the officer's seabag. The shirt is of lesser quality and the price is about half of what the officer khaki shirt price is. I've purchased the new service uniforms already and have been wearing them for about a week or so - before I found out we probably won't be wearing them while at BOOST. I would suggest to all of those who have already purchased them to bring them anyway. I'm going to bring both sets (we all know how things change so quickly in the Navy - at the end of the day we might be authorized to wear them) - I've got plenty of room for storage in my suv anyway. Again, the uniform situation is not that big of a deal. These minute inconveniences, such as wearing the necktie, are a small price to pay for the awesome opportunity we've all been granted.
