Adivce: Arrive a few days early to turn in paper work. Saves a lot of time on reception day (or whatevers its called). You will be able to bypass many long line.
Some of the stuff on the list of things you need is not needed: the black comb and other wierd items probably wont be used. (the bandanas will be)
If you are arriving early buy your cleaning products in Roswell. It save a lot of luggage space and there is a super walmart in town to get everything.
Buy a standup vacuum. It says not to but it doesnt matter and they are much better to use. The small stand up dirt devil works fine.
Don't worry about studying the white book they sent. The only thing you will need to know is the Goss quote, old post, fight song, and inteiror gaurd orders. The rest is useless.
You can bring a computer, rent, or buy. My suggestion is if you can find a cheaper computer then the one they are selling buy that if you are not going to rent. As long as the specs are about the same as the NMMI one you will be fine.
Don't worry to much about NMMI. Yelling is slim to none and the worst punishment is pushups.
The mind set you should be when at NMMI: Do your ****, make your uniform nice, dont get stuck and dont talk back. All you have to do is get by. No reason to impress anyone. Just watch out for yourself, your prep friends, and your troop friends.
