Default Things to bring to bootcamp

I ship out in 15 days and I am just making sure what all I would bring with me. What are the essentials once I arrive?

The clothes on your back... wallet with credit card and photo ID... blank check if setting up direct deposit... address book. Everything else will be provided/issued.

Also, take your cell phone and a charger... you'll ahi it home, but it can be used to keep in contact up until you leave the airport for RTC... then it can be used to make the "I've arrived" call.

Unless it's changed recently, you're not allowed any medications or medical supplies... reasoning being that they don't want you dealing with wounds on your own.

The calling card is a must though... just make sure it's a payphone calling cars and not a cellular calling card!

Can I bring the direct deposit form filled out instead of a blank check?

Bring your phone and charger ( so you can call someone when you arrive at RTC), debit card, something that has your account info so you can get paid, photo ID, address book. That's it.

They provide you will mole skin amd bandages when you get there. You can always buy a calling card at the NEX for $20, with 400 some odd minutes on it.
