What kind of everyday carry pocket litter do you always have on you to get you through the unexpected? On base? Off base?

Keys in left pocket; small opening knife (push-button) in right pocket; little change as possible! Now I will also have cell phone on left hip and BB on right hip (both a 24/7 requirement) due to job. Let's not get into what is carried in the truck (FBI or HLS may be monitoring our messages)...but legally! That being said ...at times another slight bulge on left hip or in the pocket (legally of course), I'm left handed!

One thing I do still carry is my military ID. Sure it expired Sept 1 2001 (whew) but its still honored at some places and can be used as a talking point. It goes along with the quazi high and tight I still sport. Updated monthly instead of weekly now. :)

Do they still use the Green card or has it changed?

And ofcourse, keys, a bit of money and credit card.

My reflective belt...and nothing else. As long as it is safely tucked away in my pocket I dont need anything else because I am covered by the aura of its awesomeness.
