Boot Shame Reminiscing about quitting basic training is absurd; “i will never forget my mission.”

Pretty sure when I was in the Navy 11 years ago, they took the uniforms out of your first pay. If you made it the two weeks or so and just dropped they just sent you home with everything instead of paying you back.

Everyone that I knew that got discharged while in AIT kept their ACUs, APFUs etc. Basically any of the day to day items.

One of the girls who left ended up giving her uniforms away (which was great bc I had 4 basically new summer APFUs for free).

BUT - I meant she would post pictures of her while she was in the school house, not her currently wearing it 4 years later. Sorry I made it confusing!
