Not sure if someone has started a thread for this Class. If there is one already, please send me a link for it. I thought we should have a threat to prepare people who made it to this class. Any input from the other guys that we started this long journey with would be appreciated. Thank you.
You're provided with a place to go buy one on day 1. You still have to pay for every uniform piece out of your own pocket. I would recommend that you wait and just buy that particular item at COT. They require that everyone have matching black camel backs, and I would hate for you to waste $70 on something you can't use.
Try to rent or borrow a mess dress if you can. Likely you won't use the thing very much after COT. You only use it once at COT.
That goes for everything on that list. If you aren't sure about something, wait and buy it at COT. For example, you may not know what ribbons/badges/medals to buy. Wait and ask someone who was prior enlisted when you get to COT.
It's the major alterations (Name tapes, ranks, tailoring) to the service dress and airman battle uniform that you really want to get done before COT.

Let us know of your arrival time/day. I plan on arriving the day before and trying to meet up with fellow cot trainees then get together the next day to report
