> My son is leaving for Paris Island on the 28th.
A small correction: It's Parris Island. Two "Rs".

He honestly doesn't need a damned thing as he leaves for Boot Camp.
Put him on the bus with his driver's license with a $20bill wrapped around it with a rubber band, and the clothes on his back.
(Plus whatever else his Recruiter tells him to bring, obviously.)
But, if you wanted to:
Recruits are authorized to keep a small address book.
Keep it SMALL. A 5x7" address book would be too large.
Moleskine 2.5"x4" Address Book
Tape a couple of wallet sized photos inside one of those.
Obviously fill it with appropriate mailing addresses & phone numbers.
Ok, he ships out on 28 Oct. He's gonna graduate end of January - early February then, right?
That means MCT in Feb-March. That's gonna suck.
For graduation, you might consider something like a nice Leatherman multi-tool.
Example 1
Example 2
Just make sure it has a belt pouch of some sort with a good closure mechanism (snap or velcro, nothing with a magnet).
Save the rest of your money to make sure he has fresh regulation socks, t-shirts and whatever kind of boot insert he thinks appropriate.
Lots of recruits exit Boot Camp with foot, ankle or shin issues, and they have no choice but to grin & bear it during Boot Camp.
But after Boot Camp, you can spend some money and throw some technology at the problem.
Issued boots are not well insulated. North Carolina isn't exactly the arctic tundra, so don't go crazy.
But six pair of fresh, standard issue wool socks, and a similar number of fresh standard issue t-shirts are cheap investments.
