flushing dust and sand out of the eyes
Copenhagen Snuff in a tin
("Even if the service member doesn't dip snuff, they will be a hero
and have more power than the Commanding Officer if they have a 'log' (10
cans) of 'Hagen.' A large
percentage of infantry use this stuff and it is hard to get. The stuff
they do get comes in a plastic can and tastes terrible. The 'Stateside
Hagen' is the most powerful bargaining tool in a field environment!")
Pre-paid Phone Card so
service member can call home
