I understand what Lorico is saying, if he's given the call to be deployed, he can simply remove his seats, throw his shit in, drive to the location and go.

I have many friends in the military, life's tough.
Must have been very different back in my day (and Canada eh). You put all your gear in a big box slapped a label on it and it somehow was waiting for you when you got to your deployment. The L&T fairies (the winged kind not the other) had strong magic. Mind you we had to do all travel in number one (dress) uniforms so you had to carry your duffel bag with your civvies and work dress but that was about all. I can't even fathom the pain in the butt it would be to try and move my entire kit from posting to posting.
Coming back from Vegas last month there were two guys with a cart full of barracks boxes, duffle bags and hand gun lockups at the airport and I thought it was odd they were checking all that stuff. Now I know why!
