    More than enough and don't be bothered if people think you have brought too much, you have your own big cage to store it in and it's better to have more than not enough! Hangers are always a nightmare! I remember thinking I had too much but it turned out I didn't really have as much as I'd liked! Take at least 15 pairs of boxers and don't bother with more than a couple of pairs of civvi socks to last you until you get issued the required amount in the first week its a good experience, look forward to it!

    Never argue with an idiot. They pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    thank you, definitely taking plenty of boxers and taking enough sower gel, soap, toothpaste ect for the first 7 weeks as i understand the shop can be expensive. looking forward to all of it...cant wait.
    and thank you again.

    l also have no clue who your replying to. Quoting helps a lot lad.
    Wise words from my new CO when found wandering round RHQ on the first day of my new unit, completely lost : "If you ever find yourself somewhere you shouldn't be Signaller, grab a pen and a clipboard. No one will ever question a man with a pen and clipboard in his hand."
