Stuff to bring on I-Day

So, now that you've been through it any advice? What did you bring that you wish you hadn't or what did you not bring that you wish you had? Sunscreen is not on the list. Is it issued?

You should get sunscreen.
 
That's not the norm. We've been instructed to take away anything not on the "bring this" list, except maybe compression shorts. Guys are issued underwear. Do you really want to carry around extra weight tomorrow?

Just bring what is on the list. Everything else you could possibly need in basic (everything from chapstick and sunscreen, to stationary and stamps, to socks and a mouthguard) will be issued to you. The less you bring, the better.

The only deviation I would make is to bring a watch. It will be taken from you tomorrow and stored with your other valuables in a locked room. Your bag will be returned to you after basic, and you will immediately want a watch for the school year.

Falcongirl: Underwear and V-neck undershirts ARE on the checklist for guys, yes? The instructions said to bring 1 1/2 weeks worth. Is this correct? If everything in our backpack is on the "Bring" list, do we carry the back pack around the whole day or do we drop the bag and just carry our paperwork around? Sounds like this whole underwear thing may be a deviation from previous years so maybe the answer to my question is yet TBD. Thanks for any info you can give!
