THIS SEABAG LIST APPLIES TO ALL STUDENTS
IMPORTANT: Cadets have absolutely no expectation of privacy in either their person or their belongings at any time while attached to this training. You will be on a federal military installation during this training: U.S. Navy officials or the USNSCC Commanding Officer may, in their sole discretion, order a search of the contents of your room, locker, desk, seabag, or other belongings, etc., for ANY reason, at ANY time. Contraband will either be confiscated for the duration of the training, or forfeited outright.
Pillows, sheets, and blankets will be provided for you. Do not bring your own bed linens.
We will not be providing custom PT gear. You are responsible for obtaining the official USNSCC PT shirt from Vanguard. See below. Ask your unit to order these for you because your unit has a special discount to use at Vanguard, and you can save a few bucks off the retail price. Unit-specific or other PT gear is NOT authorized!
Laundry facilities, detergent, and an iron will be provided for your use. (What? Don't know how to use any of these appliances? You'll learn very soon!)
Unless we specifically say an item is "optional," you should consider it to be required. BRING IT!
If something is NOT on this list, but you need/want it, you may NOT bring it unless authorized by the COTC in advance.
