I am purposely not including MEB steps. I had PTSD so it was not easy to remember all this stuff.
1. Letters of recommendation
2. Get final OER and NCOER
3. Get DD214
4. Tailor your GI bill
5. Sign up for SBP (optional)
6. Sign up for VGLI (optional)
7. Have a resume
8. Sign up for Delta Dental (I missed this step)
9. Sign up for Tricare
10. Get blue ID card and dependent ID cards
11. Get medical records
12. You have a year of storage paid for government on the final PCS
13. Get a letter from the housing office if you have bad credit
I am sure I have forgotten some nuggets.

I would print off everything in my OMPF (official military personnel files). Once you leave the service it may be difficult to get a copy. I would also print my last ERB/ORB.

I would digitize it, encrypt it, and back it up on 3 usb drives; including a personal cloud such as apple cloud drive.

Along with the resume, ACAP, and going to job conferences along the way. You likely know that when you put in your retirement/ETS paperwork.

Certified copies of your DD-214, several copies. Probably the most important of all.
