My son's ship date is coming soon and I wanted to get ideas on what I should be doing to get everything set for his departure. I've seen all the lists of what to bring and what not to bring but I'm trying to see if there's anything more. We already have a SF1199 filled out by NFCU for his direct deposit. Are there any other forms available that can be filled out ahead of time? I'm thinking stuff like NAVPERS forms such as Record of Emergency Data and anything else he's going to need to have for processing week.
Thanks.

Got the phone call last night. Pretty quick. Less than a minute.
My son texted me and said they arrived in Chicago safe.
Well, my son just sent me his flight info. He takes off in an hour and should be at ORD at around 4:15 pm CST.
Yes. My son is at meps now and is supposed to fly to Great Lakes this afternoon. So, hopefully, I'll get "the call" tonight.
Well, my son left today. He'll do an overnight then meps and flight tomorrow (Nov 24). Thanks for all the help with getting everything ready.
I remember we had to get a calling card that stated it could be used from payphones - not cell phones. We found one I believe at Walmart. Just make sure to read the small print.....and I think they might be able to purchase them at BC but better to take one if you can!
I have another question. What is the best calling card I should get for my son. I'm assuming that without one, he won't be able to make calls.
don't believe so.....he needs ID but SS card does not qualify as ID
Does my son have to have his social security card with him at RTC? He already showed to to the recruiter and at MEPS.
