    +1 to what JJ said. I can't imagine the cost of shipping so I tip my hat to you. Would you like some cash to help cover the shipping? Thanks again.
  • jsnakejsnake Posts: 5,979 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I will dime a brother out here. RCY covered half the shipping and I paid the other half. Due to having 6 of the largest priority boxes filled which was more then I planned for I needed a little help. So 6 boxes are off to 6 various locations around the world. Rick was paying it forward since his unit was one of the ones I hit the first time I did this.

    I appreciate the offer though. I just consider the shipping as part of my donation our soldiers.

    Frikin awesome!!!

    Received confirmation that one package arrived yesterday. I am worried about one of the others. No word from my contact in the unit for some time which is unusual. Please pray that these guys are doing okay in Afghanistan. They are in harms way but I hope the lack of contact is just because they are busy watching their backs. I hope to have some of our first pics posted soon.
  • BigT06BigT06 Posts: 3,899
    Thanks for the update brother.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 3,917
    Man, I really hope everyone is okay. Thanks for the update.
  • 90+_Irishman90+_Irishman Posts: 12,409 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Praying for every one of them, thank you for the update and waiting on good news!

    Just heard from my buddy in Afghanistan. Don't think the package has landed there yet since he didn't say anything and I want those guys to be surprised. I know the first one that landed made a huge splash and those guys were super happy about it. Hope the others all hit soon too.

    Oh yeah, and as soon as they do I will post all of them here. So far I only know 1 has landed for sure.

    Ok guys, so far only 1 pic has come in with promises of more. It is the holidays so everyone is busy. I only have confirmation of one package landing. Still waiting to here on the others. Tracking only shows arriving in New Jersey and once it leaves the country no more tracking. Enjoy this pic. These guys said they were sorry for not being in uniform but they were relaxing. This comes from the U.S Navy in Fujisawa-shi, Kanagawa, Japan.
