Baghdad Engineers Combat Battalion just let me know one of their 2 boxes arrived, and let me know they finished building the rec room.
I don't know if you remember last year when the commanding officer was telling them--'well, if you have time and energy to build the rec room, you are able to do this Iraqi project instead...'
And I told one of the guys there...okay, we'll send so much stuff that they'll have to finish the rec room so they have a place to put all the stuff to get it out of the commander's office...LOL! Oh, I'm a sneaky gal.... Still, he ended up writing us some of the nicest emails and was a really nice guy for all I put him through.
The new commanding officer of the new ECB that replaced the 511th out of Hawaii doesn't want the stuff coming to his office either, and gave me the name of the command sergeant major in charge of the rec room.
So, we're set up now to send them some things in the coming months. We'll put the Engineers at Baghdad at the head of the list for our next project.
I'm going to write the CSM and ask what they would like.
It's so great to hear our stuff is getting through quickly.
Indeed it is!
