PCS season is here, and that means one thing: your favorite soldier is packing up, shipping out, and trying to figure out how to cram a career's worth of camo and coffee into two duffel bags. Whether he’s heading cross-country or crossing oceans, the right PCS gift can turn the stress of relocation into a celebration of service.
But let's skip the forgettable trinkets and go for gifts that hit harder than a surprise PT session.
The Huntsman Tactical Stocking
Yes, it's technically a stocking. But with a MOLLE system, beef jerky, pretzels, cheese, and a personalized name tag? This thing is Santa meets Special Forces. It's perfect for tossing in the truck or hanging up in a new barracks to remind him where the real snacks live.
Why it works: Personalized, loaded with snacks, and looks like it could survive a firefight.
Coffee & Bacon Ammo Can Gift Basket
This PCS gift is not messing around. Packed in a real 7.62mm ammo can, it includes Black Rifle Coffee, thick-cut bacon jerky, a Man Card beer opener, and a battle-ready coffee mug. Basically, it’s caffeinated firepower in a box.
Why it works: Coffee + bacon + ammo = the holy trinity of soldier survival.
The Beer Bundle
A compact combo for the guy who deserves a cold one. Choose from Pepper Stout, Citrus IPA, or Draft Ale beef jerky, plus a Man Card opener and coaster. Perfect for that first chill night in a new city.
Why it works: It says "welcome home" without any unnecessary frills.
Biltong Ammo Can Gift Basket
For the guy who takes his jerky seriously. This ammo can comes loaded with premium biltong varieties (think: spicy, hickory, peri peri) and all the Manly Man essentials like a pint glass and bottle opener.
Why it works: Gourmet, rugged, and perfectly portable for the next duty station.
Personalized Beer Mug
A little something for his new kitchen (or makeshift barracks bar). This engraved mug can be customized with his initials and a bold design. Pair it with any of the gift sets above for an upgrade that hits different.
Why it works: Low-profile but high-impact—just like him.
Wrap-Up: New Orders, Legendary Send-Offs
PCS gifts don’t need to be stiff or overly formal. Sometimes, the best parting gesture is a flavorful laugh, a shared drink, or a thoughtful bite. Whether your soldier is shipping out or settling down, these Army PCS gifts from Manly Man Co. are designed to travel well and be remembered.
