Integral tracking tool for runs while I was deployed. If your running on post/fob/cob(whatever) the program runs even if your not using the headphones. Since I've been back I use it even more for the feedback while running.

This helped me through the long waits for transportation. The video & game capability is nice when you've tapped out your music. Itunes connectivity is dependant on your location& speed isn't usually conducive for downloading of any type. So if you are getting deployed front load the songs, games, podcasts, and videos you want b/c you may not download again until R&R or redeployment.

Buy new: Too low to display
Great for reading, packing, or overall productivity during power outages. Again you could use this for an airevac but, then you'd have to try and slip it over your kevlar.

These mugs can take a beating, and you don't have to worry about dropping it either with that quick linking! That is a good quality for training/deployment. As far as hospitals, it follows JC regs b/c it's leakproof, shatterproof and the spout has tab covering it so it's not open to air.

Rolls up pretty small in the case, which is definitely helpful if your trying to pack light. It's better for travel when you know your destination won't have a pillow. While you can use it on a flight, it's bulky if your flying in coach.
