I know you're excited by what you have seen on this website so far private, but close your mouth, I'm not your dang dentist!

This is SGT Volkin's latest creation, The Ultimate Survival Pack.

Since you can't have outside reading material in Army training (or any branch for that matter), The Ultimate Survival Pack looks like a regular notebook on the outside. On the inside it is a complete basic training survival system.

Now you can go to basic training and carry the advice of SGT Volkin in your cargo pocket! Inside the Ultimate Survival Pack are essentials that every recruit needs for basic training. Equipment such as:

• Sewing kit with clear thread to fix any uniform rips
• Stamps
• Black sharpie for labeling all your military issued items
• Envelopes for mailing
• Phone card for calling home (if you think you have access to a cell phone at boot camp, think again private)

The notepad is displayed in a journal format so you can log your daily activities at basic training, creating a keepsake when you graduate. Throughout the pages are tips from SGT Volkin and inspirational quotes. In the back of the journal is an address book so you can write the contact information of all your new friends. There is also a perforated section so you can tear pages out and write letters home.

[Tip: Did you know that you can earn promotion points at basic training? It's true, drill sergeants advance military recruits based on points and certain accomplishments at basic training can get you one step closer to that promotion! So be as prepared as possible.]
