I would like some input from fellow members that have been deployed. My girlfriend's brother is deploying to Afghanistan in December. He is infantry in the Army. He has completed two tours in Iraq and this is his first deployment to Afghanistan. I would like to get him a few new items before he leaves. I was thinking about buying him a new fixed blade knife (have been considering one of the zero tolerance knives) and a new pair of assault gloves (looking at the Oakley ones or the VTAC ones). I would like some real world input from anyone who has been deployed and tried different gear. He has become a good friend and I'd like to equip him with something that will help bring him home safely, as well as giving him something personal that will remind him there are loved ones at home who care about him. Thanks for any advice.
