I was told to bring NO hygiene items.
I'm not taking my cell phone.
I plan on writing a letter on the plane and keeping it in my pants, so hopefully my Wife will get it in "the box." I pray they wont find it and throw it away.

When do we get to go to the NEX and buy more stamps, etc.?

Is there anything else I'm forgetting??? PLEASE let me know

Thanks!

Frankly, you're missing the most important document of all. A copy of you passing the test in DEP to advance to E2. Guaranteed, if you don't have it in your record, you will not be advanced....

You need to ask for a copy of it.....
Let me see if I can find some supporting documents....

But other than that, I'm not missing out on anything else?

Frankly, what's more important than that?

Completion of DEP Guide Personal Qualification Standards (PQS) and Initial Fitness Assessment (IFA)

If you successfully complete the DEP GUIDE PQS, pass a written test at Recruit Training Command (RTC), and pass PT-Baseline with a SAT-MED will be advanced to E2 effective from their Active Duty Service Date (ADSD). Completion of your DEP GUIDE PQS will be confirmed and documented by the Classifier at MEPS.

Family Papers. Advise married new recruits to bring copies of their marriage certificate, birth certificates and certified copies of Social Security Cards of all dependents.. These documents will be scanned into RAPIDS at RTC and are necessary to register allotments. Recruits must also bring copies of court decrees pertaining to alimony and child support. Additionally, if either the wife or husband has been previously divorced, a certified copy of divorce documents is required

COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8H - VOLUME V , Chapter 2, Section 1, Page 4

020108. DEP PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION STANDARDS (DEP PQS). The DEP PQS is a self-paced program that should increase the DEPper’s familiarity with the Navy. There are two phases to the program: the training phase and the sign-off phase. During the training phase, DEPpers learn fundamental information about the Navy. During the sign off phase, the DEPper must demonstrate a satisfactory level of knowledge. DEP PQS is to be routed through the chain of command as soon as it has been completed and no later than 10 days prior to ship date for entry into the DEPper’s service record.

a. The Recruiter shall work with the DEPper to ensure they understand PQS topics and will sign off those line items that the DEPper demonstrated a satisfactory level of knowledge.
