Re: Hello from chilly Afghanistan
Well if anyone is feeling generous there are a couple of items I am needing. The flip caps for my Scope are broken and they dont have the supplies here to fix it. The scope is a Schmidt & Bender 3-12 x 50 Police Marksman LP II. It just makes me sick that I cant keep the dust and sand off of the lenses. Also the flip cap for my MUNS (AN/PVS-27 Magnum Universal Night Sight™ (MUNS™)) is broken. Here is a link to its specifics:

Other than those items if anyone wants to send out some gun porn and other magazines since we dont have a PX/BX at my COP/FOB to buy magazines at, that would be awesome.
If anyone has a business that has their own t-shirts or baseball hats and you want to send them out I will get photos of the guys out here sporting your threads. As with any infantry unit there are a sh1t ton of gun nuts out here.
And anyone that wants to send out general care packages with the usuals, (baby wipes, ramen noodles, socks, anything that can be cooked with hot water, electric griddle, microwave, toaster oven ect ect) I know the guys out here would really appreciate it.
Here is the mailing address for me out here, and stuff that gets sent out will definetly get divied up with the guys and not hoarded by anyone in particular.

Again I really appreciate everyones thoughts and prayers for all of us out here. I know, with the crowd on this sight I shouldnt be surprised, but it is really nice to hear from people who care about us out here. To most of the guys it seems that were are just another news story or statistic for the government. So it is just really nice to hear from people who really care. Thanks again everyone
