A REQUEST FROM IRAQ

Laundry soap and what else?

 

We spend most of our time in the trucks on road trips (from Hell) of course . stuff to eat, like beef jerkey, maybe some more healthy munchies like almonds, carrots, power bars, granola bars, little mini flash lights stuff like that. Just imagine spending 10 or 15 hours on the road looking for IED's when everything looks like a freaking IED. So stuff to keep us alert always helps (legal stuff of course)

 

How many guys in your platoon? I have a 40lb pail of laundry detergent for you. I would hate to see it get misappropriated along the way, so I was thinking of transferring it to 16oz bottles so everybody could get their own stash. What are your thoughts?

 

Yes that would be great, it would be a lot easier to distribute also. I have 50 soldiers in the platoon. I really appreciate this. Thanks

 

Alright, your packages are on the way. They left today via USPS Priority Mail. Three boxes total. Two with 25 bottles of laundry detergent each and one box of magazines.

The detergent is unlabeled. Please tell the troops that they should get 5-6 loads per bottle of detergent.

 

My wife and children would love to write letters and send stuff, PMed for addresses..

Thanks for your service!!

Hey Chris thanks for the kind words and the promotion (captain Sanchez) your heart is in the right place. I wish I was a Hero, but I will take a quote from the movie band of brothers. "I AM NOT A HERO BUT I SERVE IN THE COMPANY OF HEROES"

 

hey, Im back in the states but ask around what do some of your guys want be specifiic and no I cant send any women. even though you army dogs get way better looking women on average than we do in the Marines.
