why do we need $30 to ship to army basic training?...jus curious bcuz my recruiter doesnt even kno?

It's just in case your flight gets delayed and you need cash to get something to eat while waiting. Once you actually get to reception you get a card so you can get the stuff for basic.

Dude, that's the army Reserve. The weekend warriors. that is elementary. purely stick it by and use the extra money for a graduate degree. There are different reward you would be eligible for different than for the academic ones. Do the sensible undertaking because you're already this far alongside. Use the army money to pay for college and placed the stuff from this activity right into a reductions account. Be guy sufficient to settle for the consequence of the techniques you're making.

I'll give you an example. On my Bus to the Meps station from the HOTEL we blew a tire..had to wait on the side of the road for like an hour and a half to get a replacement bus! we were all like Let us walk back to the hotel its only like 2 blocks she was like NO NO ONE GETS OFF THIS BUS ILL LOSE MY JOB. So we sat there for nearly 2 hours for a transport 2 blocks so emergencies do happen unexpected things happen its just a survival technique kinda similar to bringing a flashlight/matches camping

Just to have for spending money.

Your gonna be at the airport for a couple of hours before your lane leaves

You might have a lay over in a city in between

The aircraft might develop mechanical trouble and you have an extended lay over

NOTE: the jet I flew to San Antonio, blew a tire landing in Dallas, so we were held in Dallas for 4 hours, before we could continue.

It is for contingencies. Maybe flights are delayed or mechanical issues with the bus. You never want to be traveling without cash on hand.

i dont think you even need $30 to go to basic training

There are certain items you cannot bring and you will be purchasing them in the shoppette and if you do not have the funds you will go without, plus you do not get a paycheck ASAP, so bring $$$.And if you think your buddy is going to buy them for you, think again.

kind of like emergency money

I think it's spending money. Not sure, though.
