Airborne's nephew says he has seen some of the headlamps with the flip up red filter, so I have to assume the 24 we ordered have arrived in Mosul.
A local optometrist here is going to order 12 more in the next couple days with our contact at Petzl America donating a matching 12 for another 24 headlamps (LED 4, covered push button, attached red filter) to be sent to our adopted Stryker company at Mosul.
We have confirmation on the name of the new captain of our company, and so care packages big time will be flowing again to them. A shipment of many movies will be going out from Texas this week, and I'll list them here as soon as they go.
MY ACCOUNT AT PAYPAL IS NOW VERIFIED! (Thanks to my new Windows program on my new used laptop).
I'll be ordering tomorrow shipment of some headlamps to specific soldiers with specific APO's.
If anyone wants to order a headlamp (please specify whether camouflage color or black color) for a soldier, let me know. Price is 21.50, and a small donation to cover mailing is appreciated but not necessary.
I accept checks, money orders, cash, Walmart shopping cards, Amazon gift certificates, Target gift cards, and Paypal.
If you pay by Paypal, you have to give more to cover their usage fee.
A box of books and movies will be going out tomorrow to our adopted MI company near Kirkuk. I'll post contents after it's mailed.
Also, I have half filled a new box for our new unit that took over from CheneyChick's unit at Bagram, Afghanistan. Some of the books that jtill sent me will be going in that box. I already mailed out some coffee she sent to my brother to mail to a civilian contractor south of Baghdad.
Does anyone know what's up with the new ban on coffee going to the troops in Iraq??
Thought you might be interested in this thread. See post above.
Hmmm, first I've heard of it. Could simply be that the weather is warming up, and they (collectively) feel they have a large enough stock of coffee. If it's a true ban, I have no idea.
Thanks for the ping!
So, the group in Kirkuk is from Michigan?
