Caitlin's overseas address...
Update: I'm sending out another package, so I had Caitlin ask more of her friends/coworkers what they might like. She gave me a few more ideas. I updated post #22 and added her friend's requests, in case anyone is looking for more ideas.
Several people expressed that they would like my daughter's address, once she was deployed. I'm happy to report that she got to Afghanistan safely. Got stuck in Kyrgyzstan for a bit, but bummed a ride on a C-17 and finally made it. She's busy working and making friends already. Rather than post her address publicly, I'll send it out by PM. If you would like it, just let me know or shoot me a PM. If you're planning to mail stuff, know that it is very much appreciated. Very much appreciated. Whatever she receives, I know she will also share with her fellow Airman. Unfortunately, not everyone over there has such wonderful and loving support as this. Keep in mind that there are prohibited items that cannot be sent. This is a pretty good site highlighting the basics. I think there's a more comprehensive list on the USPS site. Thanks, everyone!

When i was down range (PRE-TVB time) CF and quite a few of the mods there had a whole section of my office loaded with care packages from floor to ceiling. There were so many that I had trouble giving them away to some of the civilians, too. Tis a good feeling to know people back home care.
Also, if you send her anything, the small travel size bottles of soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc... are like gold at the weekly bazaar. We used to trade them for DVD's, souvenirs, and most importantly..... INTEL! |

How the hell do you have a war with no booze, playmates on the wall, and hookers (I love you long time GI). I think I like my vacation in SEA a lot better than this. If you are send Christmas decorations try to get the package off by TG. Some I have sent over in the past took as long as 2 weeks. Some things I have sent in the past are any kind of goodies (chocolate as long as the temp is lower), hot chocolate, hand warmers, decorations for their living spaces, board games, and DVDs. I started shopping today and will have the package in the mail by Monday. Something else, try to make up small packages they can open Christmas morning. And don't forget to put a Christmas card in the box. I promise you this will give you a really warm fuzzy on Christmas morning. |
