Hello. I am currently in the process of deploying in the next few months. What are some things I need to take/pack with me? Is there anything I should know before going? This will be my first deployment.

Ok, first off, lets have a quick lesson about OPSEC.
Avoid posting information about a deployment that has a date and location.

Your unit should provide you with a packing list. If they haven't...ask for one. Then, ask your seasoned NCOs and Officers that have deployed before what they recommend packing that is outside of the packing list provided by the unit. Just remember, you're the one that has to carry all that stuff.

See if you can find someone to talk to who is already in theater at your specific FOB. He or she may have suggestions over additional personal items to include with packing list or items to avoid based on other factors (e.g. availability at PX, limited space, etc.)
