Call and ask what you need to bring. Other than that show up ready for anything. Part of SF is being ready for the unexpected.

Here's a few pointers - don't quit, try your hardest, be smart, don't complain, take all tasks seriously. Don't base yourself off other NQP's. There may be no one that is ready to attempt SFAS or SFQC. The unit will not send you if you're not ready.

I have called the unit several times and I have also spoken to the commander, SFC KW, and a couple full-timers. I know what to bring and the required tasks.
Then why the question?
