No hard boxes if your flying on the mil flight to theater.  That means no footlockers or pelican boxes. I used a Aviators Kit bag with back pack straps in lieu of one of my duffel bags,

Think about where your'e going...wheels + gravel = not so good.

You're going to war, not vacation.

If you're going thru a CRC they will give you 5 duffel bags worth of crap and tell you to put it in 4 duffel bags and you get a computer-sized carry on.

And yes, it's a bitch dragging your bags everywhere you go since you usually can't do it in one trip.

HINT:  Volunteer for baggage detail.

I figured the pelican case would double as a foot locker
something that I could lock up my stuff
I have a duffle bag with my clothes and some gear already

No rolling luggage and this include Pelican/Hardigg cases. The CRC detail will tell you this but you might as well pack now. Take nothing but duffel bags (you're military). And I concur, volunteer for bag detail... but I was different and was an individual augmentee so I flew alone. But the bag detail gets up early, but gets on last on the plane and usually has more leg room.

The CRC will give you a one time shot at mailing your civilian clothes and extra swag home at no cost.
