We've gotten quite a few letters here from kids back home. They really do a lot for us. We hang them up in our offices and they're awesome. Some things kids write are hilarious!

I need to write a Carepackage 101 article..... we get packages down here all the time full of junk that ends up gettin rat fucked and given to the Iraqi's. Nearly 80% of the stuff sent is stuff people get from the dollar store or stuff that people wouldn't use themselves. They gotta remember.... we are human beings too and the stuff you send, we use in our leisure time so we are going to want something to enjoy. I'm not saying I'm not grateful, but the excitement of opening a box to find burnt animal crackers and 2 cans of foot powder just isn't there....

The cards are cool..... but after 30 kids send you letters asking you to be a penpal, you lose track of who is who. I feel obligated to write back because these kids look up to us. But thanks for thinking of us!

If anyone wants to know what to put in a good care package.... GOOD towels... bed sheets.... GOOD shaving gel... and GOOD cookies (i.e. Soft Batch or anything along those lines) No no's.... Pringles or any potato chips.... they end up like dust... any food combined in the same package with soap or shampoo.... the food ends up tasting like soap or shampoo.

Once again... thanks everyone for all the thoughts about us. We DO appreciate it.

marakka is right. when i was there all three times seemed as tho only certain things survived the military postal service...lol. i swear it seemed like the postal service was dragging the packages from kuwait to iraq. lmao. keep up the cards everyone. it all helps build morale

my wife is getting alot of her (female, hot) friends to write to our single guys. they send pics and letters. pics and letters from chicks that are over 18 is the shiz. my guys are not deployed yet but they wanna go just so they can write to some of these girls (and do all this great war fighting american stuff).

[BlakSquirrel]

Yeah..Letters from hot women over the age of 18 is awesome! Great thread! Glad I ran into this.. I am actually sitting over here right now.. But hey my car is getting faster and DCR's wallet is getting fatter haha.. Letters are probably the best thing I get here.. What I dont like is how they get a lull in frequency about halfway through the deployment.

Thanks for the link. That is a great idea. It is nice to see something positive on this site.

[mightyxwhitey53]

yea the letters from big boobied broads always put a smile on our face when we are there..i was a penpal for 3 5th grade classes. Its great to talk to the kids because theyre non political and just want to have someone to look up to

[Santorican]
