NHS card and EHIC are not the same; one's a little card saying EHIC on it, the other's a piece of paper with your name, address, NHS number and doctor's details on it.

 

[rimsey84]

Bravo_Zulu, I stand corrected, I just saw NHS on one side of mine and EHIC details on the other. Made an incorrect assumption.

 

[adamb]

Ordered one, also got my girlfriend put on it. Thanks guys.

In my experience The Army dont automatically do anything, there is normally a long period of shoulder sloping and not my job attitude to be exposed to before you'll realise that its down to you to organise it yourself.

ADMIN is not a dirty word!!

Now CREVICE, that's a dirty word

 

[Ondy]

A couple of large packets of paracetamol, you wont be allowed to buy it at the naafi.

Compound blister plasters, lots & lots!

A crappy old toothbrush for polishing between the tread of your best boots.

Yellow Dusters, about 4.

iPod, book and other entertainment. But wouldn't advise taking a laptop till after week 7.

Babywipes, extremely useful for cleaning mess tins and removing cam cream on exercise.

You only need to take two of these wash items: 2x Soap Dish & Soap, 2x Razors, 2x Razor blades, 2x Toothpaste, 2x Toothbrush, 2xShaving gel or whatever lassies use.

Flashwipes are pretty awesome, id get a pack cheap from Asda; good for the bathroom, dusting down sides, cleaning boots etc.

Dont buy parade gloss polish, its crap.

Hope this helps, good luck!

 

[adamb]

In response to the parade gloss, the Kiwi polish is recomended in my kit list and is only 0.95p on RVOPS Also looks like a good Boot cleaning kit on there for 7.50. Will be getting a few of my bits from there, maglite torch etc.

 

[Ondy]

If its that webtex boot kit, its a pile o' shite and we were issued it when we started. Its good for taking on exercise with you though.
