    Beast Recommended Items

    Okay, so I've read the recommended items for Beast list, but how many of those items would current cadets actually recommend? I've heard that not all really necessary and will just add extra weight on R-Day. Also, for shining shoes, should we bring a buffing brush? (it's not on the list and...
