•If you are deployed away from home, you may have the benefit of the Red Cross providing shelter during your down time.  You will still want a blanket or something to cover with and you may or may not luck out and get a cot.
•Nothing beats a comfy layer!
•Bring a book or a deck of cards or a portable game.  Be prepared to share.
•What you bring for creature comforts is limited by what you can carry – but don’t overload.
