ObedientiaZelum said:Sure. Lay out everything you're bringing on the floor and look at all the civilian stuff and say "Do i really need that?"
Most of your civilian stuff as a rule will stay unused through out your whole course. You'll bring too many clothes, too much shampoo, too many "things". You don't need 3 bars of soap "in case" one runs out. Think light.
Pack the bare minimum. No first aid kids. No alarm clocks. No 6 changes of clothes (giant knifes allowed).
You don't even need a laptop. Buy a couple books.
Lean to detach from all your "stuff" and operate with the bare minimum. Lay EVERYTHING out on your floor and ask yourself "Do I need that?"

No laptop? A lot of my military friends said there's quite a bit of spare time near the end of your course, especially if you stay behind on a weekend. I'd love to hear your reasoning/experience with the no laptop thing, if you don't mind sharing.
