Care Package Suggestions

First of all, thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to the pre-deployment going away parties, and to those who sent their well wishes! You could tell by the smile on his face Donnie was really happy! Second, my apologies for not posting again sooner - things have been crazy here and I will try to make posts more regularly from here on out!

Some of you interested in sending care packages asked what he could use in Afghanistan. Here are a few suggestions...please keep in mind everything we send, he has to carry on his back!
chapstick
drink powder
socks - Smart Wool, Thorlo, any backpacking sock
moleskin
glide
Non-melting snacks
Fruit and Nut mix
baby wipes
batteries

I will post the mailing address soon!

    Thanks for the list, Heather. I know Jarrett needed lots of socks. I think they just wear them and then throw them away! :) No laundry service there!
    You will both be in our constant prayers.
    Love and hugs,

    hope the goodbye went well last night/this morning!
    my friend tom porter is in the navy reserves is now in kabul --- he says "I am at the ISAF Joint Command PA office (at the Kabul airport), figuring ways to get attention to coalition ops in NATO and regional audiences." donnie would probably understand that much better than me! super nice guy and knows the navy inside and out if donnie ever needs anything.
