Service Preparation Pre-departure advice

13 Upvotes

Hi!

I am officially all cleared for service, departing for PST in Mexico in 1 month šŸ˜…šŸ˜… I’m super excited, but also extremely nervous and anxious (realize this is probably a normal way to feel).

Just wondering if anyone has any pre-departure advice - things you wish you prepared, packed, done before you left, etc ? Any just any tips to prepare mentally?

Any words of advice are appreciated :)
