Tips on Packing Bag for Enlistment

  Hey guys,
  
  I think I need help in arranging and planning what to buy and prepare for my bag for my enlistment.
  
  Since the now we get to come out in 2 weeks time.
  
  There are some questions which I like to ask (Fast, Specific Replies Needed since I'm enlisting extremely soon)
  
  1) What are the recommended type of detergents which is convenient for Recruits to wash their clothes?
  
  Detergent Soap-Bar; Liquid/Powder Detergent?
  
  2) How many sets of clothes (shirts and trousers) are recommended?
  
  when they say bring additional civilian shirt/trousers, does it means that we are allowed to wear it inside the camp or we only wear it when we book out on the 2nd week?

  what's the use of zip-lock bags?
  
  keep dirty and clean clothes?
  
  dirty clothes can keep in normal plastic bags isn't it?
  
  and how big do i need to buy for zip lock bags?
  
  urgent replies needed so i could rush down to beach rd to buy before i'm enlisting tml..

  if there's repeated questions asked once every 3 months or so, than why not have a sticky thread on all the FAQs in point form with pictures (would be better right?)
