Necessities for a Combat Infantry Battalion?

Most of these items were mentioned in my post, "A Clean Marine is a Happy Marine."  Here is the short version - according to the Lt. the following items are necessary for a Combat Infantry Battalion:

Ground Coffee
Copenhagen (Snuff and Longcut)
Cigarettes
Razors
Shaving Cream
Protein Powder

Photo Circa 2003: Chris was in the Marine Corps Reserves when we were in college.  His unit was deployed during the initial push to Baghdad.  PFC Parks is the one in the middle; all pictured here are Auburn Grads.  WDE

PS: When shipping a care package to our Troops overseas, don't forget your customs form.  I recommend getting several from the post office prior to the day you ship.  It's MUCH easier when you fill it out before hand =)
