This year the folks in the office I work in are sponsoring a Marine deployed in Afghanistan.
He is an in-law's nephew to one of the ladies I work with.
I wanted to ask you guys what reasonably priced, but useful gift would be for a guy on deployment.
He's 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Unit, III MEF.
I believe this is an Artillery unit. (Forgive me if this is obvious, to me it isn't)
I've never served, thus I have little experience or understanding of what things might be appreciated and needed but not supplied.
I'm sure anything would be welcome simply by the gesture, but I'd prefer to make it useful as well if possible.
Any suggestions or insight is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
