Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit
I thought you had to report in January. Why the rush to get out there? You won't get there before the boat pulls out, most likely they'll have you working at squadron until they either pull in somewhere else and fly you there, or until the boat comes back. Or there's a small chance you'll get an ORDMOD and go to another boat on the waterfront.
No harm trying to get in touch with people on your boat, but there's a lot that will be beyond your control, especially when you transfer. You almost seem to be in a panic over what's going on, but I promise you this has all happened before and you will be ok. Even the part about forgetting everything because its been four months since you looked at the material.
We had a few qualified fleet returnees show up that I wasn't so sure had ever gone through the pipeline based on what they knew. You'll be fine.
