I emptied my pockets in the squad bay after class today and a few noticed my EDC stuff. Suddenly my foot locker looked like a pawn shop display with little groups of stuff bunched up on it showing off the different EDC items of five or six Marines in my platoon. There was everything from watches to pocket packs of detal floss (that guy's dad is a dentist).
It made me curious of what you all carry. Here's my pocket junk.

Rugby II shock and water proof cell (personal line).
Blackberry Bold (issued phone with encryption to get classified emails and such).
My dad's old wallet I have had since I was 18 (I'm 35 now).
Casio G-Shock MTG-1100B (atomic time multi band 5, tough solar, and a plethora of features - stopwatch, timer, calendar etc etc).
Leatherman Skeletool.
Keys with cheap LED AAA battery flashlight.
Most importantly - a Calf skin leather bound pocket United States Constitution (includes the entire Bill of Rights to date, and many related documents like the Virginia Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Articles of the Confederation, etc, all written in original text. i.e. Defense is spelled defence and choose is spelled chuse).

The reason I think is the most important item is because I have said the following words when I enlisted and again when I reenlisted in front of many people I respect and trust, "I, Warren Peace, do solemnly affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ..."
If I am going to defend a set of ideas with my life (thankfully it hasn't come to that), I want to be sure I fully understand those ideas.
I will stop rambling now...
So, what's in your pocket?
