Make sure while you are in DEP (Delayed Entry Program) you workout everyday if unfit and every other day if fit . It makes boot camp easier and fun for you , in exception to the yelling . LOL .

Hair . . .
Hair must be above the collar , meaning if you were wearing a shirt with a firm collar , your hair would be above it , without touching it .
If your hair is longer than that or if you do cut it but it is still not short enough , you will be charged at boot camp for a rachet hair cut that will damage your hair , so cut it BEFORE arriving to RTC .
AFRICAN AMERICAN / AFRO HAIRED CHICKS :
I have natural hair that reaches down by my arm pits . I am leaving 20120919 , and I do not want to have to cut my hair at RTC . So I am going with a quick sew-in weave (synthetic = lasts longer) . It's almost in a Bieber cut , so it would be no hassle during Basic . My only thing is , will they allow me to have the weave according to many diverse stories I've heard . Some have stated "oh it's fine..." while others give me a concerned face and said don't get a weave .
However , during one of my DEP meetings , the Master Chief PO of my state / district stated , to not get one because when they measure us at RTC or MEPS they will have this thing on our head and it must touch my scalp . If not they will make us take it out . However again , some have said some RDCs don't allow weaves .
I guess I'll just have to see when I get up there and I pray that they allow me to keep the weave .
Otherwise , if you are a NATURAL like me and do not mind cutting your hair , go for a big chop if you do not want to have to braid it over and over while at Basic otherwise braid it and cut it to above your collar if it exceeds that length .

About Boot Camp
It is 8 weeks long , which is the second shortest military basic training , granted that you do not get ASMOed , meaning you will get sent back in training for being sick , injured , being stupid , not following directions , being stupid , not passing any tests , talking to shipmates of the opposite gender .
Here is a detailed summary of Basic from About.com and another helpful website that you can receive free calling cards from for RTC ONLY (callsforrecruits.org) :
