Will do. The only package I have received as of yet is the package from Emily. Nice package packed full of goodies. Not to mention the ACB and a handful of ZotZ! Of course there's nothing left of the goodies. The guys tore it up and I tore the almonds up.

Good to hear one of them has arrived! I think you will be getting packages spaced well enough apart to keep you in goodies for a bit.

Again, I want to publicly thank you all for your support. It really does mean a lot and it certainly helps with the morale of the Soldiers.

Excellent!! As my hubby said we can keep them coming so let me know if your APO changes and any wants come out from anyone!

I received Megan's packages today. There was a very nicely steeped bottle of OR3O in there. I'm all giddy! Been waiting a long time for some OR3O, and this bottle is beautiful. Steeped to a very dark brown. I can't wait to put some in a clean tank! Thank you Megan and husband.

You are most welcome my friend!!

And hubby agreed, send us requests from everyone if you can and tell us their names so they too can have a special treat from your boxes that will need further suggestions from you as well...unless you just want air fresheners and almonds...

Holy cow! 8 days! That must be a record!

And how was the LOOOOONNNGG awaited taste of OR3O?

Yes ma'am! It's a record for the military postal service. LOL

And how was the LOOOOONNNGG awaited taste of OR3O?

It is abso-freaking-lutely delicious! I can't stop vaping it! I'm on my fifth tank already. To be honest, I don't really get much oreo, but the chocolate that I get is right on! I'm a huge fan of chocolate and I have vaped several chocolate jooces. They have all been rather disappointing. This one though, well it's on a whole 'nother playing field! I would not hesitate to buy a few biggy bottle of this.

maaan...I hope Clark makes this one soon. I'm jealous!

I was talking to a battlebuddy of mine this morning and he was telling me that one of his Soldiers has yet to receive a care package from his family or friends. He's a newly married young Soldier with a newborn baby and is missing his family greatly. I'm positive anything would lift his spirits, even if it's a simple card or letter. Message me if you would like his mailing address.

 

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

Sarge if you haven't got anyone to pony up to adopt this soldier PM me his addy. We are about to send two boxes out to your buddies you gave to me and there is always room for more! We love sending our love and thanks to anyone who is not getting mail!!

 

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

Okay...planning is underway...

Hubby has been buying stuff but with the extra young man I thought they all needed candy. So to the PO for flat rate boxes and to Target for cards and candy. Hubby already has a lot of healthier stuff so I thought I'd help them with their sweet tooths (teeths???)

Sarge, can you folks get music downloads if we send iTunes cards? Hubby wants to know...

Yes, there is a subscribed internet service that we use. It's not the fastest, but at least it's internet.

Awesome! Very good news!

Absolutely, fantastic! Thank you! You are going to make this young Soldiers day!

And yes, candy and sweets will go over well. These younger guys have such a high metabolism. It really pisses me off because this old man likes sweets too. But gone are the days when I could sit down and eat a large pizza and a package of oreos by myself and not have to worry about it. Even though I'm in the gym almost every day and very active, I still can't do it.

I just hope we don't give them cavities...oh man!!

jblindy, If you did not get the can of mixed nuts, they are in missing box #4..Did the Rayon arrive?

Everyone else reading, 3 of the 4 packages I sent arrived and we have some good smelling soldiers. It appears that box #4 with 2 pounds of fudge brownies and 2 pounds of Gummi bears are either floating around out there, or in the hands of a very happy package inspector

No harm done if that one does not show up. I can send another!

 

[penguiness]

Clark, if you are watching, can we move this thread to a new topic "Deployed Military Members Support Thread" and sticky it? Would be great to give our soldiers a dedicated place to connect with people who can send them things they need.

Great idea Pen!!
