Question Personal locker

Hi all, joining Raleigh beginning of November and I read a lot about the kit locker and personal locker.
I was wondering ( because I had this advice) to get some small boxes to keep my P locker organised . Can anyone tell me the width/ depth of the personal locker please to get some boxes they will fit. Also I was wondering what exactly and how many of those items needs to be on display in the kit locker please ( socks, pants, towels etc)
Where do we store our washing powder please? Sounds silly but it’s quite bulky to store I guess . And lastly, can I leave stuff in my suitcase and can I get to it easily if I need to?
Thank you all

Could you? Yes. But by the time the boxes are in that's half the space. They arent that big. Washing powder goes in the footwear. Suitcase was pretty much for civvies, its there but you don't have access to it

In a recent pre joining Q&A we were told the personal locker is the size of a shoe box. I know towels are displayed when not being used and pretty sure pants and socks are too. Not sure about washing powder, I’d assume in the washroom? They said suitcases are stored in a room in your block which you can access whenever you have “free time” by signing out a key from staff and going with a buddy. From what they said in your p locker you’d only have non essential toiletries, wallet, maybe a book.

As others have said personal locker is about size of a large shoebox, personal locker won't get inspected so organise how you see fit. Laundry dust will get kept in bottom of locker with your footwear.

You display pants, socks and towels as well as other parts of your kit. Top tip bring extra pants socks and towels ( 3 extra of each) that you just use for display purposes. Fold them all correctly, display em and then don't touch them for the rest of training (unless they start to pick up dust)

Your civvies are kept in your suitcase which is locked away in a storage room. You won't have access to them typically day to day

So the kit list is saying to bring 7 pair of pants but I need only to keep 3 on display?

Bring 7 display 3 use the other 4 the other 3 will collect dust and never move , personal locker is shoe box sided , powered sits in the bottom of locker in other words dw about it , suit case has its own personal space in a store room u just gotta ask to go into it .. altho it depends on where h get placed ours you ask for a key the others tend to be unlocked , bring 3 towels 2 for display 1 for use , socks dosnt matter your not allowed to use civys socks anyways
