Hi guys, newbie to the forum here. I am a former Recruiter though (Air Force). I noticed you were worried about pay issues. Let me say that with the advent of direct deposit it has become super easy for you to get pay set up. It usually took my troops about two pay cycles (a month-ish) to get paid....

Don't worry, you won't see a paycheck while at Basic or AIT if you go to them back to back. You'll recieve all of the pay you are authorized at the end of the cycle. Gosh, I hope you're wrong about that. My recruiter told me that I will be receiving pay on the 1st and the 15th the moment I show up ...

Just talked to my recruiter today. He said no go on the electric razor. I've got a bag of the gold and white single bladed disposables, I'll start practicing with those when I start getting myself used to waking up at 0430 the two weeks preceding my leaving for Basic. Again, thanks for all the advic...

Under normal circumstances, I consider that 12-14 minutes to be time well spent, and I really prefer blade shaving. However, if I could only have 3 minutes, I'd personally have to go electric. It takes me about 15 minutes to do two passes, plus a drop limes skin food before, between, and after, fol...

Wow, thanks for all the replies! I'm going to look at inexpensive electric razors and see if I can get one soon enough to play around with and see if I can get a passable shave at home. If not I'll just stick with disposables and cans of Barbasol. The only thing that I'm afraid of in Basic is not ha...

Shaving in Basic (or, I joined the Army, how do I shave?)
So, I recently joined the Army and will be leaving in mid-March to go to Basic Training. I have been wet shaving for about three years now and I cannot even fathom going back to disposables and canned goop. Has anyone gone through this before and have any suggestions? Should I bring my safety razor,...
