Army basic training question?

Question

what do those on-base stores sell? do they have women things that you can buy? i.e. tampons, midol, Is it like a grocery store?

just curious

Answer 1

The Main PX on post is very much like Wal-Mart. They have a bit of EVERYTHINGGGGG and nearly as large. The Mini-PX sites (usually several on post or base) are more like a convience store. Just the basics, less food items and more military items. You'll have no difficult finding feminine hygiene products, underwear, T-shirts, socks, snacks, and electronic items, magazines, newspapers just to name a few. I have been to Ft. Jackson, Ft. Benning, Ft Sam Houston, and Ft.Leonard Wood. All the bases are basically the same, and WELL-STOCKED.  

Answer 2

Yeah

they care called PX,  Post eXchange

You will have one that you buy that stuff during at reception (about 1 wk of processing and equipment issuing)

Then you have some around the posts. Your drill sergents will take you. they have everything. Nothing in bulk, but lots indivduals items.

Answer 3

yes the on base px will have everything you need during your time at basic. Mostly hygienic products,writing utensils(envelopes,paper,stamps,etc.)mil... clothing(t-shirts,underwear,socks,etc.). And all the "women things" that you'll need they will be sure to have. You can also get things sent to you after arriving at basic after a week.
