SS gets mailed home. I don't remember what happens to DL and Berth cert... And, they need originals not copies.

So they need originals for your stuff, and copies for your dependent's stuff?

Do not bring originals. Only copies. If they needed the originals then the recruiter would have asked for them. You don't want the originals at boot camp....

I second that. Tim told them if they needed originals, they could wait on them or just go out and get them. He was fine, and actually, we're some of the only people I know that didn't have ANY pay issues while he was in boot/a-school.

Sorry to be redundant, but even my social security card should be a copy? I was under the impression I would at least have to bring that as an original.

My husband took his original social security card and mailed it back with no issues.

That's what I'm wondering, even if I took originals (my recruiter told me originals) wouldn't I be able to just ship them back home in The Box? They wouldn't need them after the first couple days right?

Not necessarily in "the box" (you will pack that pretty much right away), but yes, you'll have a chance to mail everything home. Just make sure someone at home knows to be looking for the envelope.
