Then I just stacked it on my wheeled suitcase (for our clothes) to get it through the airport.
Here in Singapore, military service is compulsory for all males and we are issued some standard items, the duffel bag with wheel is one of them. I had the chance to go back and buy one using free credits and converted it into a dive bag!
