Can you guys think of anything els?

[Malarkey]

I think you're all good, hombre.

Why your contract and transcripts? There's no reason to bring them and that's just extra paper taking up space in your wallet. And I think it's highly recommended that you bring COPIES of your birth cert. and SS card rather than the originals.

They need the originals. Or court certified copies (not the same as a notarized copy)

Check the RTC website bootcamp.navy.mil. The official list is at http://bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/Required_Checklist.pdf . According to this, you don't need the transcripts or contract. They say "Copies of Dependents Birth Certificate (if applicable)". I think sometimes in military parlance a spouse is a dependent. I think they mean children here, but you might want to ask someone who would know.

Spouse too so you can enroll them in DEERS.

(though I think they can with a POA, but I'm not sure the details)
