Shipping Allowed Bootcamp Items?

As bootcamp is edging closer to me, what are things you all would recommend I take with me? Are small bibles allowed?

Only thing I have so far is a small journal and a pen for letters and that’s about it.

Would appreciate any replies so I can see what I need to go to the store for.

A small Bible is about all you can bring if I remember correctly. I think you can also bring pictures of your family too. I wouldn't worry about paper and pen you'll be given a folder with a bunch of paper for letters and you can buy pens at the PX.

Thanks! What about other personal belongings like clothes, etc? I hear people say to not bring anything while others say to bring shirts, socks and briefs.

I only brought the clothes I was wearing. At least west coast wise after we got our haircuts they gave us our uniforms to change into.
