I would seriously recommend doing this. I wish I had done it before I left for BC. So many things are going on and when the Navy Fed reps come to talk to you, you're so brain dead that it's so hard to concentrate on what they're saying. And you're so strapped for time that you don't really have a chance to think things through, read all the information, and get exactly what you want.
Plus, if you share accounts with someone, you'll already have the account info for them to access if you open before BC. I opened a checking and savings account with Navy Fed while at BC but didn't actually use it for a couple MONTHS because my husband needed access to that money as well.
I'd also like to add in my two cents about Navy Fed- it's a union, so everything is going to be better for the members than an actual bank like WF or BOA (interest rates, fees, etc). That being said, the customer service is EXCELLENT. Always kind, always punctual, always able to solve your issues with no problems
