    I just sent two packages to my buddy in Afghan. The most wanted things are snacks. Besides that, I included some paper/pens, a foam football, baby powder/foot powder, and the biggest thing...drink mixes!

    And I laughed at the condom joke. Big Al, I guess they have to make sure to cover the M16's, MK19's, and .50cals. LOL

    Snacks are big. jerkey, hard candy, dry cookies, and the stupidist things to play with. Squirt gun, that tube of chemicals you blow bubbles with,,,,,,,,,,,,Everything that they can share and joke about.


    Also,,,,,,,, Duct Tape. body powder, dice, cards, deoderant, Everything we take for granted.

    Sent a bit myself. You can go for quantity in a .99 cent store. Even socks there.

    Shet, spent $200 bucks in a .99 cent store once.

    Lisa,,,,,Duin good, love.

    Sand in their barrels? Are the women over there really that dirty?

    And a former Marine Infantryman who spent some time in Iraq said Condoms and Bacon Salt are two things I should include. I never asked him to explain his reasons. I hear Bacon Salt can make anything taist good, and I figured the condoms where for, well..
    Lets just say its no great secret that Marines love to .

    By the way, I filled out my profile, and read the rules.

    Perfect, Thank you sparkie, and to everybody else who gave some ideas.

    Ill check out that website as well, but its nice to hear it directly from you Marines. Now I can send things they will appriciate and be able to use. And it feels good knowing I can help a few Marines keep sand out of their barrels.

    Ill bugger off now as I know you have more important things to do.

    Thank you for your time and god bless you Marines.
