But other than that, I'm not missing out on anything else?

Frankly, what's more important than that?

Completion of DEP Guide Personal Qualification Standards (PQS) and Initial Fitness Assessment (IFA)

If you successfully complete the DEP GUIDE PQS, pass a written test at Recruit Training Command (RTC), and pass PT-Baseline with a SAT-MED will be advanced to E2 effective from their Active Duty Service Date (ADSD). Completion of your DEP GUIDE PQS will be confirmed and documented by the Classifier at MEPS.

Family Papers. Advise married new recruits to bring copies of their marriage certificate, birth certificates and certified copies of Social Security Cards of all dependents.. These documents will be scanned into RAPIDS at RTC and are necessary to register allotments. Recruits must also bring copies of court decrees pertaining to alimony and child support. Additionally, if either the wife or husband has been previously divorced, a certified copy of divorce documents is required

COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8H - VOLUME V , Chapter 2, Section 1, Page 4

020108. DEP PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION STANDARDS (DEP PQS). The DEP PQS is a self-paced program that should increase the DEPper’s familiarity with the Navy. There are two phases to the program: the training phase and the sign-off phase. During the training phase, DEPpers learn fundamental information about the Navy. During the sign off phase, the DEPper must demonstrate a satisfactory level of knowledge. DEP PQS is to be routed through the chain of command as soon as it has been completed and no later than 10 days prior to ship date for entry into the DEPper’s service record.

a. The Recruiter shall work with the DEPper to ensure they understand PQS topics and will sign off those line items that the DEPper demonstrated a satisfactory level of knowledge.

**Note: the word "Shall" means "Is required"

Here's what happened....I got about 3/4 of my book signed off, then left the office and scheduled the rest for another day. (Not my choice) Then I came in again, and just got handed the Written Test, took it and passed. Then did the PFA, and passed. The Recruiter then printed off some papers stating I passed, she signed it, I signed it, then she said she had to fax them to the XO and CO for signoff. I asked for a copy and she said it's not valid and pointless to get a copy without the XO and CO's signatures on it, and not to worry it would go in my service record. She said they offer EVERY new recruit at GL to take the Advancement test, but only those with the paper in their service record can take it....thats where I'm at.

Oh, and what's a "certified" copy of a social security card? I just figured I could photo copy them....

What the recuiter is doing is fine.... You just need to make sure you have in when they go through your record. You will not be able to take the test without it....

I would have taken the documents to Buckley Legal and would have had them certified. But, it's too late for that now. Now, I would just bring them with you...
