What happens to the backpack/bag you bring? Do you have to ship that back/donate it?

Thanks
Thank you! The only basic items that I was told I could keep were feminine hygiene products. Other than that you really do send everything home. All that I kept was my civilian glasses, wallet, and address book. You can either ship your things back home or donate it. It's really up to you. So don't bring a lot with you when you go.
