Stuff to take with me.
I need a shopping list, but a one suitable for spending six - nine months in Iraq.
It needs to be reasonably cheap and include flip-flops / sandals for lounging around and the standard desert based jesus impressions.
Suggestions of 'blow up doll' or 'Marilyn Manson' will be ignored.
So, what should I take?

Re: Stuff to take with me.
Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
You know me better than I do
I lost again, my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You knew it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me...
Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
And know me better than I do
I'm lost again my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You've known it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me...
Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one
You know I'm not a saint...

Re: Stuff to take with me.
Let's just hope you don't get kidnapped and have to spend your wages on the ransom.
THAT WOULD BE IRONIC, WOULDN'T IT?

He's going as a civilian, and they were refusing to give him even a handgun last I heard.
So he's ****ed, basically.

Re: Stuff to take with me.
Last you heard I was 'thinking' about going as an IT Contractor to earn lots of money.
Last I heard (as in Wednesday gone) I was 99% going in February as a member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces.
So I do get a gun.
Cheers for the list Tacticus.

Re: Stuff to take with me.
I'd refer you to something awful where they had a thread which was what soldiers wanted sent that were serving in iraq, and what they didn't want sent.
This is probably the best start you'll need for guessing what you'll need.
At least with regards for the little luxuries you'll need when you have those 2-3 hours a day between work/sleeping/shitting and eating and showering. I hear it's 7 day work weeks out there.

Those who trade the prospect of vast quantities of cash in exchange for minimum amounts of security deserve manloving, and recieve it.

Sword resistant scarf?

Incriminating evidence of buggary involving a donkey,your superior officer and 10 feet of rubber hose. (Enough to get you an easy tour guarding such things as cotton wool and sand)

Just in case.

Re: Stuff to take with me.
A long book that'll put you to sleep on all those boring nights on sentry duty.
I recommend Kant's critique of pure reason.

Re: Stuff to take with me.
apparently putting a condom over the end of a rifle stops sand getting up it, in case that's of any use.

That is of course true, however the actual cover that is provided works better as it doesn't spread lubricant across your barrel.

Re: Stuff to take with me.
this is the SA80, right? I didn't know it had a standard cover thing. Advantage of the condom is that you can shoot through it though.

Yeah, you get a dust cover in the cleaning pouch, although your suggestion is a valid one and will be remembered.

It's not something I really care that much about. You mentioned yourself that I never pull birds when I'm out with you, it's simply that I don't really care about it.
A concept that could be difficult for some of you to grasp, but sexual relations isn't the be all and end all.

i thought people in the military were completely dominated by their balls and were literally swimming in testosterone. This is the reason they are so utterly and completely willing to be subservient, aggressive monkeys.
You can survive without sex? - i'm shocked!
