Just buy the stationary stuff, 1 pair of civvy clothes (your not going to need them til week 7 anyway), a good iron, dont bother buying civvy sports kit or gucci waterproof jackets, youll never use them.

On another note, things that are VERY useful are:

- scotch brite (good for everything, especially cleaning your rifle)
- plenty of zinc oxide tape
- some gucci insoles (trust me, itll make tabbing more enjoyable

)
- 1000 mile socks (get them from millets etc. very good bits of kit for endurance runs/tabs and when you tab the brecon beacons)
- and 1 x bag full of enthusiasm

If anyone wants any advice about the place then PM me, ill reply if I get the time to.

2 quick ones mate, When does the kit issue happen? and whats the cookhouse like?

Kit issue on day 2, some troops get it on day 3, the scoff is good, 3 square meals a day, dinner is a 3 course meal with snack packs to bring back to the block with you, it aint michelin star, but it aint that bad either, just after a few weeks youll get sick of the repetitiveness but after PT its a moral boost

and not as repetitive as rations
