Your recruiter is full of it!! He's not going to be able to call during boot camp for that. You can't go until boot camp sends you a letter with instructions on it. And yes you must of POA for him not to be there.

Boot camp sent me a letter that told me what to do about 2-3 weeks into boot camp. He will get there and file you as a dependent with them for his pay and once he's in the system you will be also and they will send you everything you need! :)

Everything he wears to boot camp will be sent home In a box to you. It's smelly... lol he can only take a debit card. No cash. My hubby took copies in his wallet of my birth certificate, social, marriage certificate. I don't know if he used them but he had them so everything went smoothly. He's not allowed to take any bathrooms things. They will supply it. Make sure he's prepared the night he gets there he will not be sleeping! Make sure he's prepared to be up for 48 hours depending on what time he gets up the day he leaves. My advice is that he also takes your phone number and address. And anyone he might wanna contact during boot camp. I know it's silly bit they can be over tired and stimulated and some do forget it even when they say they won't. Better to be prepared :) the night he gets there you will receive a "I made it" phone call and that's it. It's 30 seconds. He can only send letters on Sundays but not until week 3 so it will be about 3 weeks before you hear from him. Don't think he forgot about you. :) hope this helps! If you think of anything else just let me know! :)
