    You won't be able to bring it with you, that's for sure.

    As far as having it mailed, don't quote me on this, but my brother is over in Iraq right now and we were just talking about this. He said everything that comes into there is x-rayed.

    When I went to Iraq some of my friends took there gear with them, I wouldn't mail it. I guess it depends on what unit you are in but I could take what ever I wanted there
