hello,
Well I guess I don't really need to update you guys on anything other than I & my group have left Afghanistan and we are back at our regular commands. I would like to thank you for your site and supporting us!
Respectfully,

Hello all,
First I'd like to thank you for taking the time to support us Sailors! Some things we always love are healthy snacks such as jerky, trail mix, dried fruit, nuts, drink mixes and sugar-free gum. Also some toiletry items we can use are lotion, toothpaste, mouth wash, wet wipes, deodorant (male & female), foot powder, baby powder and for us ladies black Goodies Ouch less hair ties. Its getting colder here so any extra socks, gloves, beanies and blankets would be a great help. With the holiday fast approaching gift cards are best for those of you who would like to send us items that are a little more gift like. A few great places to send us gift cards from would be Brigade Quartermaster, Ranger Joe's, LA Police gear, also we're sort of gym rats so GNC & Bodybuilder.com would be great. Also blank note cards so we can write you back as well as family would a be awesome! Thank you for your support!

Hello,
Well not too much is new. We've been getting care packages bt mostly from folks who sent us stuff before. Any snacks are good, plus any microwavable foods (Ie: pasta or soup) are awesome since the chow hall isn't always tasty! Thank you for all your support!

Well we've been busy over here. With Navy & Army, and we are supposed to get in Air Force personnel. So its definitely going to be a joint effort over here! There have been letters and care packages coming in, but mostly from folks who had sent stuff before. Thanks to all you folks who have sent us stuff! We appreciate it! We all love snacks, like jerky, granola bars, fruit snacks, nuts, candy, Twinkies, cupcakes and trail mix. Also water gets a bit old so we love the drink mix singles, anything other than lemonade, we've got it coming out of our ears! My favorite is the Crystal Light Peach tea mix. Also flushable baby wipes & hand sanitizers are always handy to have around. We don't have a whole lot to do here in our down time besides go to the gym, read and watch movies. Thank you for your support!!

Hello AnySoldier.com
Well the past have been crazy to say the least. We've gotten a four more guys (Army) to help out. We've been getting letters and care packages, so thanks to all you folks who have sent us stuff! We appreciate it! We all love snacks, like jerky, granola bars, fruit snacks, nuts and trail mix. Also water gets a bit old so we love the drink mix singles, anything other than lemonade, we've got it coming out of our ears! There isn't too much to do here besides going to the gym, so we do a fair bit of reading. So any books from the Navy Reading List would be great! We're trying to build up a nice little library. www.navyreading.navy.mil Also we have to wear civilian clothes sometimes for our mission, but of course we don't get the civilian clothing allowance, so any 5.11 tactical gear/ clothing would be greatly appreciated. We need long sleeve shirts, polo's, and tactical/cargo pants. We have a mix of people so any size would fit someone. We're trying to outfit the junior folks first since they get paid less.
Thanks for all your support!

Well my address is correct & I/we've started receiving cards, letters & care packages. If you could update my info with the following I's apprecite it. Thanks! Also I attched an old photo and the webcam one is from here. I'll send more when I get a chance.
Very respectfully,
MA2 Erin K. Parr
If possible we could use those little single serve mixes for water. Water does get boring after a while. As for clothing we all need 5.11 tactical style clothing with shirts being dark navy blue or green and pants being khaki. The style of shirts(long sleeve) and pants are 5.11 TDU ripstop poly/cotton in sizes small to XL. All pant sizes are the same small to XL and regular length. Also it is warmer upo so there isn't a need for cold gear or hand warmers right now. Also for food we could use snacks like jerky, granola bars, hard candy and gum.

Hello my name is MA2 Erin Parr. I am currently IA to Afghanistan along with others. We are a mixed unit coming from duty stations all over the world. We just arrived here. We live four to a wooden hut. Right now it is pretty cold so items like hand warmers and foot warmers would be great. We are on 110 volt but don't have any cooking abilities. General snack foods are great, especially healthier ones, since most of us hit the gym up regularly. Also they are a few Hispanics in the group so Hispanic snacks and non-Tabasco hot sauce would greatly be appreciated. Also letters of support are always nice too! I personally an from Northern California, Santa Rosa to be exact. We also have a LA guy and two people from Washington state. We also have an Army brat who says he's from Penn. I'm not sure where the rest are originally from. We have a great group, we work hard so you stay safe in the States. Thank you for your support!
