We have just been advised that several battalions in the 5th and 7th Marines are being moved every 3-5 days as screens in front of Camps Iwo, Commando and New York. That is public so no security issues. However, these guys arrived mid-Feb and are running short of basic items since the sand is so bad right now. According to one of the officers, they need shoe box size packages of handi-wipes, blistex, mouth mints (especially the soft, melting kind), powdered Gatorade, pocket size hand sanitizing lotion, and basic toiletries. A big need is comfortable face/ski masks.They don't know when they will get back to base camp but are eating well -- just could use some comfort items. Anyone wanting to help can send it care of the individual company or platoon commanders. For 1/5 the address is

C Co 1/5 1st Plt
UIC 39740
FPO AP 96426-9740

You can choose A, B or C or HQ CO and 1st, 2nd or 3rd platoons but the packages have to be from a person to a person, Josh Glover is 1st platoon and will distribute as indicated.

Just if anyone is looking to do something.
