The Permit to Report packages will all go out at the same time. Mid-May to early June is normal the last couple years.
Here are the important things to do:
1. Make sure his shot record is up to date and he has multiple copies of same.
2. Get his wisdom teeth popped if they have not already been removed.
3. Update or get him a Passport.
4. Get him a properly fitted pair of running shoes and have him start breaking in same.
5. About three weeks before I –Day take him to the nearest Marine Corps facility and get him a good “Recruit” hair cut. This will allow pre-sun conditioning of his sensitive little head and prevent a nasty sun burn on the newly exposed white skin on his Plebey head.
6. Get him a touch-up hair cut on 29 or 30 June.
7. Get him started on the 5 basic responses: Yes, Sir/Ma’am; No Sir/Ma’am, Aye, Aye Sir/Ma’am; No excuse Sir/Ma’am; I’ll find out Sir/Ma’am.
He will be good to go!
