How to use these lists

  • Boot camp follows the official Recruit Training Command reporting guidance. Bring less than you think; anything not permitted is boxed up and sent home. The full explanation is in our boot camp packing list guide.
  • Deployment is a general starting point. Your command’s seabag list and berthing rules come first, and space is always tighter than you expect. Read what life on a ship is really like before you pack.
  • Travel covers moves between duty stations and schools.
  • Gym bag keeps training consistent — pair it with our 1.5-mile run plan.
