Hmmm. Didn’t realize the number of legs per day was a requirement to volunteer. Your comfort level with firearms and caring enough about your passengers and crew are the only things to evaluate if the program is right for you.

Most of the posts in this thread are spot on. Everything, and I mean everything is provided for you. Just bring a comfortable pair of shoes. You'll eat like a king too so be careful, a few people commented that they gained some weight.
Just keep in mind that transportation will not be provided to Roswell Friday night. So if you are trying to catch a late flight out of there, consider having your own rental car for the week so you can get back there. There were a couple students who desperately tried to get to Roswell in time to take a flight and there was only one Lyft in town and they didn't get off of work in time and the other option was to call a taxi from Roswell which will cost more then the cost of a weekly rental car rental. Expect to be done with class/graduation by 1630.

Bring some casual clothes if you plan on going to the bar there, or for lounging around in the evening. Boots/Good Shoes and a sturdy belt are important. I think we had one guy using a reloader, nobody cared. WiFi there is not free, and cell service is not the best but doable. I don’t think any of my class paid for WiFi.
You will leave with more stuff than you came with so if you have a little extra space in your bag that would be good.
