Everything that they need that is not on the list will be issued. Including swimsuits and shower shoes.
Only bring what is on the list.

The stuff they get issued is overwhelming. I think they get at least four kinds of shoes on top of the flip flops. Don't worry too much because everyone is going to look like the dickens within a few days with or without that last thing you forgot to send along. And they do share what comes in the boxes, so shop or bake for a group.
If you want to bring some smaller items like a lighter or cough drops you can stick them in one of the boxes for sale by the parents club. At R Day they offer a lineup of approved junk food and commonly needed items that you load up yourself, add a personal note and they deliver within a week or so.
Remember to use two gallon ziplock bags to group like items, wear a set of broken in running shoes, and no matter what you do something will be wrong and you'll get yelled at. That's just a goal for the cadre and your turn will come. Have fun.

FYI. USCGA changed R-Day to Day One last year
