I don't know where the time (or the knives) went, but my second batch of 100 shipping boxes is running low. So time to order another 100 for $86, including shipping. With the sheath knife program running down, this third batch should last a bit longer.

Second, somebody has a barracks thief in their unit. We lost two dozen CRKT folding knives between here and Iraq once, but insurance covered it. This one make it to the proper address, but someone lifted it. I really hope it was some civilian puke, like a janitor, and not another Soldier. Here's the email exchange:

Rich Wow! Talk about your immediate responses! I really do appreciate what your doing. I have talked with other soldiers around here that have been dealing with you and everyone is extremely pleased. I think my home address would be better. Robert B. [redacted]

Thanks so much and I will be keeping you posted on our progress.

If the bastard that stole your knife asked us, we would have given him HIS OWN knife. You all have earned them.

Next to cowardice, thievery is the worst thing in a brother Soldier. There's someone out there you can't trust with your stuff, much less watching your back.

I have another Camillus BK2 waiting for you. Please send me your HOME address, if you think it's safer.

Rich, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but I was at the AH-64 AQC (aircraft qualification course) in Marana AZ. I had called our ops NCO and he told me that my knife had arrived and that he put it in my desk. Well, when I got here it was gone. I guess somebody needed it worse than I did. I wanted to thank you for sending it though and I still am going to send you something cool from Afghanistan.

If you ever do have another knife lying around with no home you can always send one out this way. I will leave my address just in case. Thanks again and I will keep you posted on our progress.
