My old Scout unit from 10th Mountain Div is in Iraq. I've been talking with the LT. via email and advised him I'd be happy to take up a collection of items and ship things that would make life more comfortable. The list he sent was for equipment rather than the usual deployment items... and while I don't have the budget to accomodate a good bit of it, I placed an order with Midway today to take care of the shooting mats and I'll be ordering either a ballistic computer or GPS. Below is the list and shipping address, any donations would be much appreciated.
If anyone is able to pony up some useful stuff, I'll pay the shipping to get it there.
