I am about to go on my first deployment to the CENTCOM area of responsibility. I've been told that we will be fairly isolated and should pack to expect slow supply delivery. Ive stocked up on hygiene and and clothing, but what are some not necessarily essential items for a combat deployment but that you would always want? Anything that may make life a little better!
Enlisted
Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR)

A hard drive with 9 months worth of movies and shows. Or other stuff to keep you comfortable and entertained.

SGT (Join to see) sometimes you gotta spell it out for people. You know, just in case.

SFC (Join to see) True. Then perhaps use the correct terminology, which in this case would be a "Spank Drive," for example.

Crocs, 2 woobies for your bunk privacy, and at least $200 cash so you can get a puck or sim card depending on your phone. If you barely use it at home you’ll never use it over there so don’t take extra stuff. You can literally get anything over there so pack light (you will take a long walk with all your bags). Mentally and physically prepare to be there longer than what they tell you. My 9 months turned into 16 months last minute. Good luck.
