What to pack for Army Basic Training (what you actually need) 

do a bun video! i’ve never done a military style bun in my life, and i ship out on june 29th.

Thank you this is so helpful especially as a female! I couldn’t find a video that addressed all this and I ship out today.

Good one! I’m going to meps next week for my physical so excited and a little bit nervous to start this journey.

Shipping out in 18 days fort Jackson here I come thanks for your videos I love them ✅✅

Thank you! Shipping out May 27th to Fort Jackson!

Abby your channel has helped me so much I ship out Monday the 26th and I am very nervous! But because of you it’s been helping my nerves! Keep doing you!

I am so thankful I found this right now! I ship out on Jan 11th and I wasn’t too sure what to bring

Hey Abby! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your content- I leave for BCT at Ft Sill in about three weeks and like you, when you were in my shoes about one year ago, I have watched sooo many videos. Yours have been the most helpful and the most encouraging. Thank you for your honesty and the wealth of helpful information- watching your videos is like talking to a friend. I am also really enjoying hearing about the experiences you've had while becoming an Army musician. I'm going to be a 68W so of course there is no overlap in our jobs but you deliver the content in an interesting and engaging way, and I appreciate it. I'm sure you've been busy in your new life as a married soldier but I look forward to watching any new content you release. Thanks again. :)

I needed this sooooo much!!! Thank you 🙏🏼... I leave for basic on May 31 😁

Just did my asvab waiting to go to meps your videos have really helped me in soo much way in preparing myself. Would like videos on like what they do your medical & the bun video!

l leave for basic training at Fort Sill on Monday. Your videos are SUPER helpful and I love the details you go into and the way you deliver the message (some other youtubers are loud and a little intense). Thanks again!

This is honestly a huge help. I’m getting shipped out on Nov 9th ( Fort Sill) and I only have 2 weeks to prepare.

I leave October 6th to Fort Sill and the thing I’m most scared/worried about is getting my period and knowing what to pack 😂

Shipping out in two days !!

Yes. Would love to see the buns you can do!!!

I ship out on August 3rd to Fort Jackson. Thanks for the helpful tips, it really helped me get prepared.

With my luck, I’ll get my period and have to deal with that shit the entire time. 😭

Thank you! Shipping to Fort Jackson May 18th. 42R!

can you do a video on tips for basic training to help get through it easier as well as things to watch for please!

Loved this video ❤️ thanks 🙏

Thank you, Thank you so much your the best🙂

I'm shipping out may 26th to fort Jackson. This really helped me.

good video... thank for the information

Whew I leave to ft leonardwood October 27 I’m Ready 🥳

should you pack your own razors with you or are the ones at reception okay to buy?

sneak diss after work drones will be acceptable at some point

Yes do tutorials on buns please. And quick question. I'm in the process of losing weight to actually join the army (40 lbs down, 5 to go) and I know that I have to be a certain weight to go into the army. So do I have to be at that weight when I talk to the recruiter or will that happen at meps?

thank you so much!! shipping out July 27th to fort leonardwood !

Headed to Fort Jackson September 14th, 92R :)

I'm shipping out July 14 to Fort Jackson :)

How much money to bring to but the stuff you said?

shipping out fort sill august 11th

I’m shipping out on August 4th to fort Jackson. Who else?

Hi Abby, I’m shipping out July 28th. Can we take a small journal with us or is that something they may take from us during the shake down?

I ship out next summer

Ahhh shipping out in a week😬

I’m shipping out on the 29th

See I'm a lady and just chopped off all my hair recently lol. I'm gonna enlist soon and plan to just keep it short

Shipping out to fort Leonard wood nov 23rd

quick question, if i take a travel size shampoo and conditioner that has a scent to it, is it gonna get thrown out? i heard you can’t have scented anything in basic.

what’s it like enlisting while in a committed relationship? would you be willing to chat about your experience?

can you bring chapstick? do they have that at the px?

Jenna marbles joined the military?

What if you haven’t gone to college??

Coming back to you as I'm joining your 42R ranks and shipping to Jackson in....1.5 weeks! Lord help me 😅 I also noticed you haven't posted in a while, so I hope you're ok??

Abby shark attack is removed through by sgt major so first 100 yards do you still carry it??

I'm shipping out to basic soon and I was wondering whether they let you keep a few things like an address book and stamps. I know they take all your civilian clothes but can you keep some?

What do you put your hygiene kit in? Like what kind of bag should I bring everything in?

If I bring my favorite sweater will I get to keep it or will it be thrown away

Can you bring face wash and lotion? when you fly, can you bring them on the plane? or you have to delivery them?

I use head and shoulders lmao

Do you have to buy shampoo there ? Or can I just keep my own

So I ship out September 8th..couple questions, should I bring a watch? Would it be better to just buy sports bras at reception?

In my opinion just don’t bring civilian under garments it’s 10weeks just suck it up lol

If any see’s this and could help I’d really appreciate it! Since Covid has us going straight to our first assignment/school right after boot camp I’m not totally sure what I should pack just to keep in my civilian bag. Like should I pack my contacts and whatnot to keep in my civilian bag? After BC do you keep wearing what you have been or do I need other clothes? Of course I can have stuff mailed but just wanted to be prepared. Thanks:)

What about your phones? What do we do with them?

Are we allowed to bring hair spray or hair gel to basic?

Do I have to bring my shower shoes or they will provide us with it?

Abby I think I gotta die my hair back to dark brown due to I can’t take care of my roots.

so the stuff you bought was it with your eagle cash card or your debit card?

what are some good sports bras to take? send me a link! anyone! i’m lost and can’t find anything good on amazon

can i bring notebook and a journal to write in?

Hair next video!

What do they do at the mini physical?

August 3rd anyone?

Where and what brand of a very supportive sports bra do you recommend?

Shipping out to basic August 9th. 68A. Does anyone know how the quarantine is gonna be before reception?

you know those small travel size bottles you can fill with your own shampoo/conditioner/body wash? instead of buying travel sizes can i just fill those up with my own things and label it? they don’t have labels on them but i can label them myself, i just wanna know if it’s allowed thank you :)

So it won’t be a problem if we show up with leggings at reception?

What sports bras can you buy to bring to basic that will be approved?

Please do a bun video ☺️

Is it ok to have holes in the jeans at meps

You cannot wear leggings to reception.

Do they make you buy a watch in basic , thanks

I'm shipping out 12 October... someone else ???

anyone leave september 8th ft jackson?

a tipi

did she just dig us on our national guard bags😩

map of canada and an american flag to go do work abroad in canada while you drive around put a filter on your exhaust pipe dont disrespect your regime even if you blow farts just being honest still cute . cant find one make one like someone else

The period thing is due to the shots they give you forcing your periods to become irregular

Could I wear contacts at basic?

Im joining the army im excited but my heart is breaking because I'm leaving behind my daughter
