You are who we need to hear from someone who has some one there or been thereBaby wipes, shaving cream, Copenhagen / Kodiak. I was buying cheap mp3 players and ripping a bunch of music on them and sending them 6 a time so they could share them. Things that do not melt, cheese whiz, taco shells, Spam, canned hot dogs. Sent them some "gentlemens" magazines too. Chocolate chip cookies, cheap digital cameras. We were sending a large flat rate every week when they were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq had better infrastructure and more things were available, Afghanistan was and still is a complete sh*thole and basic items were in short supply when he first got there.
He really wanted me to send him a burner .45 because those POS 9mm Berettas they had were universally disliked by everybody, and the first guy though the door on house raids had one of those and they said that a haji jacked up on meth could take a full mag in the chest before going down.

I have seen guys at store 's buying good pocket knife 's I don't know but I have heard that that is a good thing also a good pocket knife or a pocket clip knife
Yep I was kinda spit balling it last night I guess it would be a problem trying to get someone to take money and distribute it to family 's on here but your right my friend told me the same thing there are mom groups and wife group 's that I or we could look up and donate toGiven the shipping time - a certain holiday season is coming up - and Any Marine / Any Soldier / Any Airman / Any Sailor boxes are a great way to pay it forward.
I have done that in years past. Get an "If it Fits/It Ships Box" and load it up.
Amazon does a great job shipping to APO/FPO - something that I like to take advantage of.
In looking on line, a number of the wives groups have lists. As does Military.com. Certain things cannot be shipped - out of respect for the host country. No pork for example.
Besides EPS idea of cash, we'd need volunteers to collect and package. Many hands would be helpful.
Yep I know this because a few years ago I was at a knife store in the Tacoma mall probley not there anymore but there was some guy's from Fort Lewis and they where all buying folder knives to take with them to Iraq or Afghanistan I didn't ask I just over heard the conversation with the sales manI have gone to the semi-annual Kershaw warehouse sale and bought top of the line folders for people in the service! These weren't blems, they were overstocks and ran $50-60 on sale! Very popular!!!
