What to send
Ive had a few people now ask me what sort of things I wanted them to send me. Since this post has been here a while, there are a few PXes where we can get most of the things we need. Also, I am not allowed to ask for anything from people I do not know, however if you know a soldier over here, or send to a program such as Any Soldier, these are some things you may consider:
Paperback books and magazines, not only does the soldier get to enjoy them, they can turn them in to a library afterward for others.
CDs and DVDs. There are bootlet DVDs here, my personal favorites are TV shows such as 24, The Shield, and The Sopranos.
Im on an established base and we have BBQ equipment available. Im going to find out if Omaha steaks would survive the trip to an APO.
Common everyday items such as toothpaste, shampoo, Q-tips (also used to clean weapons), pipe cleaners, hand sanitizer, baby wipes.
Non-chocolate candies that will not melt.
Phone cards and writing supplies. No need to send stamps, we can mail regular sized letters for free.
That is a quick list, but should give you some ideas.
