Pi Question Mark So I'm reporting to my first duty station...

I am currently home on leave, having graduated OSUT, Airborne (last friday). I'm busy working on getting my car title and insurance and all that other BS sorted out and I'm curious about a few things.

I'll be reporting to Ft. Bragg on the 25th, assigned to the 82nd Airborne (hooah!). Anyways, I'm wondering what I should report with. I'm not talking about paperwork or uniform, I know I need orders and the 201 file and all that. I mean what about my personal effects?

Since I will be living there, I'm assuming that I can bring my stuff with me? I have 2 guitars (one acoustic, one electric) and amp, along with a turntable and some records to listen to. I also have an AK-47 and SKS. Something tells me it's not a good idea to stroll into the barracks with two un-checked weapons. I'm 19, this is the first time I've ever moved somewhere.

When I report, is it alright/wise to have all my stuff with me? Is there storage for it while I'm being in-processed? Will I need to put it into commercial storage? Can I bring my weapons on base? What can I expect when I report to my unit? Any advice from someone who's 'been there done that' is appreciated, so I don't look like just another dumbass 11B private.
