1st of all, what rank are you? If your e-4 or below, your plt or squad leader may want to inspect your ruck and duffel bags to insure you have everything on the packing list. I was an NCO and no one ever went through my stuff. The problem you're going to have is keeping it in a cool place. It got up to 120 degrees and higher over there, so I guess it all depends on what kind of unit you're with and do you have access to keeping your gear cooler. IF you work in S-1 or S-4, your probably have airconditioned tents or buildings anyway, especially if you're working around a lot brass. I was in Infantry and always on the go,living out of my ruck, so having gear wouldn't work for me. Besides if you only eat once or twice a day doing mission after mission, it's a waste of time anyway. Now if you're in some poge unit that just stays at base camp, then you could probably get huge over there. Best of Luck to ya. I lost 50lbs over there.

wrong: the term "devil dog" was originally coined by the Germans using "Teufel Hunden" allegedly meaning Devil Dog in German; its a motivational nickname for a U.S. Marine.

The exact origin of the term is unknown. According to tradition in the United States Marine Corps, it was given by German soldiers to U.S. Marines who fought in the Belleau Wood in 1918. This was reported by American media at the time; however, no evidence has been found of this usage in German records of the time.

The actual spelling, "Teufel Hunden", is not a correct spelling in German. The correct German spelling is Teufelshunde.

Either way much respect to all service men and women. Whenever I can thank them openly I will. hoo-rah I love the Marine Corp

Special op's here. I'm not gonna say which or where so as I don't incriminate myself, but my type of guys generaly know where to get what you need. Becarefull though bro. It's not worth your career. Also with the heat and stress it may not be the best idea, I'm sure some will dissagree with me. Try asking around your local big guys too. People get pretty creative on bringging things around that your not supposed to have.

But I don't see why any command would try to stop a troop from being bigger, stronger and more agressive
