I would think chalk was some kind of military staple they'd actually want on hand - you can't draw battle plans on walls with pens... Scott and the folks were touting chalk as they marked off areas of the ship back in Air.
Long story short: Rush stole it. Lots of it.

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! ~

In the premier episode "Air" the crew located a source of Calcite (limestone) to filter the CO2 out of the Air. Chalk can be found in nature in a few different forms being one of the earliest known writing tools, one form is limestone.
Yes the desert planet from Air is the source of chalk/calcium carbonate etc. but given how much Rush has written, it's safe to assume that more chalk was tken from diffrent planets.
It's all about startegy. Out-maneuvering the opposition, bending him to your will.

They had some, and it's probably a byproduct of the Air III dirt.
The real question is what does Rush use as the eraser? The voodoo doll of Young he made from old socks?
Or the more obvious question, why not just use the computers? He seems to be capable of programming them quite well. Or is his vision so bad that none of the displays are big enough?

He's got the whole beautiful mind thing going. It adds to his persona as the mad doctor of destiny!
As soon as the crew were on Destiny, they were running around marking doors. Military does use chalk at times when they are conducting searches. Even in the first episode they made a point to show that Rush prefers to use a chalkboard. Possibly even enough to carry some with him.

Because as a programmer, and math person, I can tell you it is a lot easier to work with problems on a white board.

Many scientists and math profs prefer to use visual stimuli/writing out what they are doing vice a computer, as
A) it is harder to erase it all and
B) at times you can write faster than the computer can keep up...
