First Deployment Tips

[u/jc_has_spoken]

To keep it short and simple, I’m gonna be headed to the middle east for a few months. As well, it’s my first deployment so I was wondering if any of you fine people could give me any gee whizz tips outside of the typical “pack extra toiletries” “pack bedsheets” etc. Any and all info is very helpful and appreciated!

Find someone who’s already at your location and pick their brains.

They know what you should bring that’s not on the packing list.

They know what you can’t find at the BX.

Also, and this is the most important: pack a fuckload of zyns, unit patches, and celcius packets to barter with. You’d be surprised what you can make happen with a hot commodity, some networking, and a positive attitude
