If I was enrolled in the army, which is very unlikely, I would carry my hat. It is my most prized possession and I always have it with me. I guess you could say that I have OCD in that respect. I don't think I have washed it in over a year because I think that it gives me good look in tennis matches. I guess if I brought it into Iraq, then it would give me the luck of not dying. My hat has sweat streaks that have discolored it and that shows how hard I've worked while wearing the hat. It would make me want to work harder in the army if I had the hat with me. Finally it would make me feel comfortable and I would not worry about the war as much. Another thing I would carry is a picture of my family. It would guarantee that they would always stay in my heart and it would make me worry less about them.
