Packing for drill weekend can be tough, as it is very easy to forget the little things that we take for granted daily.  Use the checklist below to help pack for drill.  Remember that the items below are what you'll need to get through the weekend, but if there are any other items that you would like to bring to help make your stay a little more comfortable, please feel free to do so.  Just keep in mind that this is a drill weekend, not a barracks display or full event weekend, so try to pack light.  Any specific items needed for a drill weekend will be listed on the Drill Home page.
