BCT and AIT at Ft. "Lost In The Woods" Leonard Wood 😬😅

I cannot tell you guys how excited I am to be leaving for BCT so soon! I need as much advice as possible! I have done research and everything! But I don't think it's going to be as bad as everything online claims since it's kinda out dated 🙄. To start off with a few Questions Being a female with her period what should I bring? So far Tampons & pantie liners. I have natural hair 😂 peep profile picture 😂 and it can't go into a low bun. Will I be forced to cut my hair off? 😭 And the showering conditions is it really going to be almost to no shower time at all? 😭 That's all I can really think of and anything else you guys experienced even with being at a different base. I won't be returning home until March 15 2017 my BCT and AIT is all at one place! Oh and am I able to come home for the holiday season or no? I have heard only rumors no facts.

UPDATE: 9:53 AM October 11 2017

Thank you all for the helpful information! ☺️ Today is the day! I hope this post can help future women who’s going to BCT as well! I’ll see everyone when I get back Love you Glow Family 💖💪🏾😘
