Thanks for your service in Iraq!
I wouldn't use saline to wipe down the humidor. The salt may leave a film and affect the wood's ability to breathe. If you don't have distilled water, putting a bowl of drinking water in the humidor for several days may be a slower, but effective method than wiping it down. Only the water (not the minerals) will evaporate into the wood as needed. But, when you're done you'll still have to figure out what to put in your humidification unit. Most units (including the beads) recommend distilled water so as not to affect THEIR functioning. I guess you could get a cheap humidifier (sponge in a box), use drinking water and then replace it when you get home.
A coolidor wouldn't require seasoning.
