I've compiled some advice that should be given to all new officers in A100. This mainly applies to working at hardship posts. I'll add to the list as I think of new things, or as others contribute something.
ALWAYS carry toilet paper wherever you go. And hand sanitizer.
Bring comfortable shoes you don't give a crap about.
Learn to like, no love, tea.
Buy good earplugs.
Never ask, “What kind of meat is this?”
Always buy the generic first class letter stamps, not the ones with cute designs whose amounts will be outdated in a matter of months. (I still have an entire sheet of 39 cent stamps featuring classic cartoon characters.)
Online bill paying and Skype will be your best friends.
Buy the annual subscription to an online greeting card web site.
