    MOST Important IMHO?:

    Portfolio or Large Envelope containing the following:

    - Marriage certificate (if applicable)

    - Divorce decrees (certified if applicable)

    - Birth certificates for children under 18 (certified if applicable)

    - Military orders sending you to training (provided at MEPS)

    - Enlistment contract

    - Form SF 1199A & your bank account information (this will allow your paycheck to be electronically transferred. At BT, you will also be given the opportunity to open a bank account there. HIGHLY recommend opening one with USAA prior to shipping and using this one)

    - Small address book with addresses and phone numbers of family, friends, your bank and other important contacts

    Your wallet should contain your social security card and your driver's license. Also highly recommend bringing an ATM/dedit card for the bank your direct deposit will go to (once again I recommend USAA)
