I have a few questions.. How much time do you get off base? Can you use a cell phone? Is there a weight room on site?

How heavy is the Gear plus the gun ? -- im doing my bmq this month and im curious to know the total weight

[jfhallman]

@beaverrig5 there is a pay phone on each floor of your barracks. I suggest a calling card or prepaid phone card. You will not have access to cellular phones or other electronic devices for at least the first 5 weeks.
