Also here's a nice bit of info: I had a shipmate who got through TSA fine with his double edge/safety razor and package of individual blades. TSA only made him throw out the one razor that wasn't packaged. When our belongings were being inspected at Cape May, a CC said it was fine for him to keep and use.
Hope this info helps. Try not to overload your bag; bring cash or a debit card to buy things from the exchange (you'll be brought there pretty early on to buy things you need) as well as the Lucky Bag (thrift store for uniforms/clothing).
When I was at the exchange, I bought an extra toothbrush, shaving cream, socks, and a towel as well as some other things I needed. I also bought a new pair of PF gear but wasn't aware that I could buy the same PF gear for like $5 at the lucky bag so keep that in mind. Definitely buy an extra PF roll from the Lucky Bag. Some people also bought an extra cover (hat). Not a bad idea.
Good luck at boot camp! Be quick and loud. Help your shipmates when you can. Always keep your rack locked. Always, always. Learn the chain of command as early as possible, there's lots of valuable time to use to study while waiting around the first week.
I just picked up a pair of Timberland Pros after another pair of Bates fell apart with light use. Only worn them for 10 minutes, but they feel amazing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RKM9VOM
Danner also makes great boots, but the safety toe pair I have are very wide in the toe box and feel very clunky.
There was a study conducted by SecDef in 2017, I don’t have a link available but it’s a quick google and was sent to all services. It visibility demonstrated a reduce in cost, reduction of lethality, and several scientific studies with in.
Democracy is mob rule, we don’t have that. If we had a democracy HRC would be president as she has more votes. We empower smaller states through the electoral college and balance our government around 3 branches of government. Democracy isn’t mentioned in the constitution a republic is, it’s even on the pledge of allegiance, “for which the republic stands”. It’s not semantics it’s the understanding of government, the US does not operate under democracy rule, short hand for constitutional republic is incorrect.
Edit: Here’s the link for SecDefs Memo https://partner-mco-archive.s3.amazonaws.com/client_files/1521897476.pdf and the study https://partner-mco-archive.s3.amazonaws.com/client_files/1521898539.pdf.
The study calls out multiple areas of concern, lethality, unit cohesion and cost, I hope you read through it because the findings are quite clear.
I wish I would have played more board games when I was underway. Recently I have loved playing Ticket to Ride and Catan.
I was just being born in the early 80's so I don't have any stories from that time period. If you want a good book though with a lot of interesting tidbits on Coast Guard history consider this
There are not so much fun stories as they are little known events that happened throughout Coast guard History. There is a good section on the prohibition and even the story of the Navy sub surfacing underneath one of our cutters causing a rupture in the sub and it's sinking.
I have a TV similar to this and a mount like this. It costs half as much as those fancy briefcases others have linked, but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Put some velcro tape, or other adhesive on the PS4 itself and you're good to go.
So mine aren’t quite jump boots, but I love them because they have a military look, and are composite toe. You just have to pull out the Harley logo.

I have been wearing these for the past year, underway and in the yard. Still holding up strong. Light and comfy.
Does this one look good?

Never used a steamer on clothes, for wrinkles? Something like this would work?
For those who are interested here is is on Amazon. You can select kindle or hardback editions.
Something like this would probably work

I have these Reeboks and they lasted me the last two years on my boat and I still wear them (going on four years now), granted I'm an OS. I had magnums before and they lasted maybe two years and were not that great.
But yeah, those boots meet regs.
The Coast Guard investigates commercial casualties on navigable US waterways, and international accidents that involve US-flagged ships.
*If casualty investigators determine there may be a criminal case involved, the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) comes into play.
If you're interested in shipwrecks, and their investigations, I heartily recommend "Until The Sea Shall Free Them," by Robert Frump.. It's the wreck of the SS Marine Electric, and the investigation that would lead to the current investigation process used by the Coast Guard. The incident also led to the establishment of Coast Guard rescue swimmers.
you guys have no sense of humor, but get a mattress delivered from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Gel-Infused-Green-Memory-Mattress/dp/B01NH0XWNU/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=mattress&qid=1558276921&s=home-garden&sr=1-79

AFAIK 70s and even 60s is enough to get in, and to study I bought 2015/2016 ASVAB For Dummies and ASVAB AFQT For Dummies
