    Marine Corps officers use their tie-clasp for a roach clip.
    You guys didn't have us sailors fooled. Us enlisted sailors aren't as dumb as we look!

    Sleeping bag, if you want a pillow roll it into it or sleep on your arm.

    Reefer training company out of Texas? Is it Stevens Transport? If so, I'm all ears. They were my only choice other than Welfare Express.

    Perfect! Get an oversize one, they're more comfortable. You may already have one since you've been camping out.
    You can switch to sheets if you want, after getting your own assigned truck.

    Ive never had to train it’d, Schneider put me with a local guy and he knew I was experienced and 2 days of doing tanker work he signed me off, so I don’t know.

    I can wear the same jeans a couple days in a row, as long as I don't sweat in them. But socks and underwear, I need to change them each day.

    Bring anything you want, as long as it all fits inside one soft bag or on your person, until you get yer own truck. Fer now, you're gonna be in someone elses space as a visitor.

    Pack everything in a flexible duffle bag.
    Don't use a hard suitcase because it's very difficult to store with two people in the truck.
