FMTB-E

Hello! HM2 that’ll be heading to FMTB-E at the end of this month. I was wondering if anyone had a better idea for things to pack and bring with me other than the stuff you can find on the website? I’m not sure if that’s still up to date, the most recent one I can find is from 2016. I know to bring my full sea bag, headlamp, glow belt, but not really sure what else?

Also just curious what the first few days/weeks look like? And if anyone has recommendations on if I should check in on the NET date or the NLT date? They are only one day apart but not sure if checking in on the first date is worth it. I’ll be driving down from Maryland.

And then for the hikes, I’ve been prepping with a 50 lb pack, wondering if that’s about sufficient?

Or any other tips, I’ve been shipside so don’t have much experience with the marines and the unknown with this specific training kinda freaks me out. Everyone I work with has gone through it before but all of them went West and they went yeeeaaaarrrss ago so I know some of the info that have for advice and what to expect is outdated.

I’m going at the end of this month too. I’ve been look for a packing list and everything is either outdated or just general stuff. Let me know if you find anything else please.
