News (General) No chapstick or tampons on fires

The CIMT supply teams are no longer able to buy/supply various medical items including Chapstick, tampons, pads, icy hot, allergy medicine, Qtips, glucose strips, hand warmers, lotion, tooth brush, tooth paste, and so much more! The MED units may bring those items and disburse them, but they will not be bought to supply resources

Essentially, the logic is that if it is not mission critical and considered a personal use product, then it should be brought personally and not purchased by Supply/Logistics.
