      Don't forget to bring a loo roll with you as the stuff provided will scrape the ass of you, also flip-flops for the shower, and remember to put you Army No: on all items of your uniform, including boots and beret.

            Actually, for my recruit camp, I actually brought too much stuff, and ended up causing myself a nightmare as I had too much kit to store etc.

            I'd say you will definitly not need as much civvy clothes as you think. Also, one of the best possible things that you can bring is a cordless iron. It is fantastic, especially as there is usually never enough room for ironing, and the damn place they give you to iron is usually very awkward to use.
            Meh.

              Bring nail clippers, no one ever seems to have them.

                From my experience the only civvy clothes required are a pair of jeans / pants, (or a dress for ladies if they so wish), change of socks and underwear for the week, a few t-shirts, and if you're having and end of camp party on the last nite, something to dress up in a bit more than the rest of the week

                      A pair of insoles for your boots and polish.

                        Toothpaste, brush, towel, soap, shampoo, lynx, nail clippers, bog roll.
                        Shaving gear:
                        Razor&shaving gel (Because if you bring an electric they might have no sockets!)
                        Civvie Clothes:
                        Pants, T-Shirts, Socks&Jocks, Jacket/Coat
                        Polishing Gear:
                        Kiwi, Brush, QuickShine(For emergency use!)
                        Other:
                        Money!!!, Mobile, Don't forget banking details if you haven't already given them in!
                        Swiss army knife, ID, a small iron.

                        As already mentioned don't bring too much as you'll have to lug it around until you get billeted and storage may be a problem.

                        Sanity is optional!!!!:p

                        p.s. Best of Luck!

                          ID is very important, especially if you intend to get langered...most places won't even let you in without it...

                          even camp bars are under observation now!!!
