Like it or not, suit is the best choice

It's time for you to invest some $ on suits.
Trust me you need it throughout your life.

 

[chrisf]

What do you mean by "like it or not"?

You could show up in a pair of board shorts and flip flops and still be sworn in, you'd just look a bit under dressed.

I wouldn't invest in any new clothes solely for the purposes of being sworn in.

You'll find plenty of folks walking through the door of the recruiting centre who are nowhere near being in a financial situation where they can afford to buy a new suit on a whim.

Wear somthing nice, don't go overboard, and certainly don't spend money you don't have to do it.

 

[Scott]

Flowered shorts, tuxedo t-shirt a la Joey Jeremiah.

Done.

 

[chrisf]

And a mullet.

It may be many years before you can have another.

 

[StarFury]

Could always ask Beiber what he'd wear...

 

[Scott]

And a mullet.

It may be many years before you can have another.

A few, until one gets into JTF2 where they are all but mandatory.

 

[NLockhart]

Do you start getting paid after you're sworn in or does that begin at BMQ/BMOQ?

 

[Jammer]

On your first day of trg your pay will start.

@108 Stitches
It was actually not what I expected it to be. Another recruit and I were sworn in in the office of the CO of my unit. Only the two of us, I thought there were going to be a lot of people.
There was a lot of paperwork to be done before the actual swearing in. Once I was sworn in, I was introduced to a few people in the unit, and given a tour of Denison Armoury.
The reservists at 32 Svc Bn are some of the most awesome people I've ever met, and now I'm really look forward to BMQ.

 

[Delaney1986]

Awesome news! Good Luck!

 

[Robert0288]

Just remember, once BMQ kicks off, it's game on.  In some cases it may actually be your recruiter who is yelling at you at 5am during PT.  Oh and Congrats.
