* HARD CANDY - The conditions are so hot and dry over there in the desert
that the men and women are wanting hard candy. Their bodies are not able to produce saliva very good, and their mouths
are dry. The hard candy helps to relieve this problem.
**ZIP LOCK BAGS are used to hold bar soap in their Alice Packs and Ruk
Sacks. They are also used to hold baby wipes, toothbrushes, gallon servings of Gatorade, beef jerky, and razors.
***TAMPONS & MAXI-PADS are used not only as feminine hygiene products,
but the guys carry around tampons to temporarily plug bullet holes until they can get men evacuated for medical treatment.
Maxi pads are good for the temporary application of pressure/absorbency to wounds.
