My gouge: Show up with all your uniforms good to go. Dry cleaned and ready. I know they say you will have time to get them at Newport, but much easier if your not getting uniforms with 40 other dudes. If you cant get to a NEX prior to DCOIC, then do it there. Make sure you try them on and have them checked, lots of guys showed up with uniforms that were wrong size. That creates a new set of problems.
Show up with PT gear, if any chance its cold, have sweats.
Don't create or take part in any drama of any kind
Figure out who has a POV or rental car within the first few days and become friends.
If you really want to show up on Saturday, then OK then. I preferred to show up on Sunday, mid afternoon would be my goal. Our class officer showed up at 1800 for weigh in and a intro brief, just make that.
Class Chief shows up first thing Monday morning, to welcome you to DCOIC.
Read the DCOIC website, pay mess bill in cash, expect to be able to leave any time Friday. We had guys leave as early as 0600 Friday on the last day.
