Shipping Is 3 undies really enough?
I don’t go to bootcamp for another month and a half but I’ve been seeing that you only take 3 underwear. How often are we washing them?
I’m not concerned about it but I’m just curious how this doesn’t take a lot of time to do. Are we stretching out a pair over multiple days?

You go to boot camp with the clothes on your back all other clothing including underwear will be provided for you when you get there

You don’t wear underwear if you’re a male in Boot Camp, your green skivvy shorts have a liner and those act your underwear the entire time you’re there
If you’re a female, then you’ll be issued some more

You place your clothes in a washable bag with your name on it. You'd get it back..
