They will teach you every thing that you need to know in boot camp.

1st put your hair in a ponytail. Get a sock (a men's dress sock close to your hair color is good) & cut the toes or foot part out of it. Roll it as if you were rolling it down to your ankles if you had the sock on. Put the rolled down sock over the ponytail like a scrunchy. Brush the hair over the sock from the center, covering the sock. Take an elastic band & put it over the hair you've brushed down over the sock. Then wind the hair around the bun & tuck the ends under the sock/hair bun & pin with hairpins or bobbie pins. If your hair is very long, you can braid the sticking out hair in sections & tuck & pin it under the bun. or you can simply secure it with a elastic band also.
if you are on the run you all you have to do is twist your hari and wind it around and secure with a elastic band it doesnt look as neat though but incase you need to run quick it will pass

Ask your recruiter. There has to be at least one female recruiter in the office. If not, they know at least one. Your recruiter's main function right now is to get you prepared for Parris Island. Sounds like that's part of it.
I'm sorry I can't be more immediate help, but I'm a male in the army.

Check your other question you asked regarding using socks. I tried to explain it the best I could.
