DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

A Sailors Needs for A school

My son finally had a meltdown last week about how much stuff he needed to get but either didn't have time for or he simply forgot. He requested that I post some of the things that all NUKE's need in A school. He said that a great idea would be to send them the day before graduation to the indoc address as it never changes.The address is:

                                         FN, first name, last name

                                         class: INDOC

                                         101 NNPTC Circle

                                          Goose Creek, SC 29445

   This way all new sailors will have everything they need when they get their.

 

This is his list:

 

  •       -bowls/silverware
  •       -can opener
  •       -laundry det./dryer sheets 
  •       -ironing board/iron
  •       -personal hyg. (body wash, cologne, deoderant, etc)
  •       -twin sheets (they are provided but my son tells me they "suck")
  •       -sneakers
  •       -black socks
  •       -white/blue t-shirts (to replace the ones from boot camp, again he says it's a quality issue)
  •       -something to do (books, video games, cards, etc.)

 

He also said that he has picked up extra's of Navy issued things and highly reccomends getting extra of the following as soon as you get to GC:

 

  •    -NSU cover (1 or 2)
  •    -dress whites cover
  •    -ribbons
  •    -pt gear (at least one more set, two would be better)

 

I hope this helps! Also veteran moms please add anything that you think would help.

Hello not sure if my son will need this. He is leaving for boot camp March 23, 2016 and is going Submarine Electronic Computers. Will he need this supply list also. Thank you for answering my questions.

Everyone seems to say the beds are twin xl, but my son is saying 74" long which is regular twin. He has requested a mattress topper and I'd hate to send the wrong size! Help!
