No chapstick or tampons on fires

[u/Dangerous-Mirror1285]

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

So, a bit of clarification. These are items that can't just be ordered through supply. They are supposed to instead be gotten from the cache. Obviously not all of these items are going to be in the cache. At that point, you can send an order with JUSTIFICATION as to why it's needed. Once the buying team has justification they CAN order stuff on this list. For example, when I was headed out to my assignment in Alaska recently I had to pick up a vehicle from ground support. While I was there they had me take a bunch of supplies that had been picked up special order from the buying team. Two of the bags was chock full of bandaids, bandages, alcohol wipes, moleskin, etc. from the local drug store that were going to the line medics. They were all items on that list of "can't buy" stuff.
