If you are lucky (unlike me) you will get a list of what to pack and also "recommended" items. Here is the low-down, seriously, this is what you need or might want:
towels (they will not give you any)
pillow
thermarest (highly recommended- the cots suck and are pretty damn thin)
ear plugs (for those huttment members that snore)
knee pads (you better bring em- all I can say is the "field" is full of gravel and rocks and you WILL be low crawling and on your knees a lot)
cell phone (coverage is spotty, but does work)
laptop (if you want to watch movies, also if you do at night please wear earphones)- there are plenty of outlets for plugs and such.
if it is during fall or winter, better bring some warm clothes
flip flops- shower is gross
MOTRIN or if you have flexoril or something better bring it- you will be sore
sleeping meds if you can't sleep (ie. benadryl, ambien, whatever works for you)
two BDUs/ACUs- one for your professional courses and one for the field
sunscreen
chapstick
toiletries
Whatever you don't bring, you will be able to get at the PX- it is open from 7 am till 6 pm every day except for Saturday and Sunday it is closed. You will even be able to get coffee there in the morning on your breaks from professional courses. They also sell laundry detergent which you will need and their are washers and dryers in the bathrooms
pogie bait if you want, b/c otherwise you will be eating a lot of MREs or barbeque
bandaids, mole skin for those who don't have their boots broken in yet
camera- you will be able to take pics for some of the revolutions
