A few things for a Soldier

Hey everybody, thanks for all of the e-mails and comments you all have responded with it’s really nice to hear from everybody. I know I said I would post some things that I need, and some things that make life here a little more enjoyable, alleviate some of the stress and help the time go by faster. Here are some of the basics that I could use. Lab series for men (skin resurfacing scrub and skin revitalizer), Mach 3 Turbo blades, Speed stick (Ocean surf), and Charmin Ultra with aloe and Vit. E (not more than 4 rolls please, I don’t have a lot of room).

Aside from the basics here are some things that will help when it starts to get really really hot. Normal t-shirts get soaked with sweat so I have found that Under Armor close fit shirts (www.rangerjoes.com ) perform phenomenal with wicking away the sweat, I wear a size large and desert tan (not brown) is the color authorized. Additionally for undergarments as well I use Under Armor boxer briefs to keep dry in all places, size Med. color brown. The shirts are around $25.00 and the briefs a little less, a total of 5 apiece should last me awhile.

Some edible items that would be nice are, Gatorade mix – makes 1 quart (riptide rush and fruit punch are my favorite but all flavors are welcome) Jolly ranchers, Pringles (sour cream & onion, and original), and cherry twizzlers. Please don’t send to much of anyone thing as I mentioned before space is limited.

With all that there leaves just the fun stuff, CD’s, DVD’s, etc. I know a lot of you are sending DVD’s so I’ll give you all some titles to give you a better idea. The Star Wars series, Donnie Darko, Smallville (all seasons), The Siege, I robot, Empire, War of the Worlds. Some CD’s are, 50 cent (get rich or die trying), lil john/lil scrappy (King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Trillville), Tech9ne (absolute power), BlackeyedPeas (elephunk).

The two very last things that I am going to put down are two big item’s that I don’t necessarily need but would be very nice to have here would be an a black 60GB video Ipod ($399 www.apple.com, or Best Buy). I would love this because I have music on my laptop but no way to listen to it when I am on a convoy, or have a little down time before I have to be somewhere or do something. My music is an awesome motivator and stress reliever. The next thing that would be helpful is an external hard drive (200 GB or larger – Best Buy or computer store), with my digital camera I am going to be taking a lot of pictures and my laptop’s hard drive is almost full.

I know this seems like a lot of stuff to ask for, whatever you want to contribute will be appreciated greatly, as far as the two large items if everybody pitched in a little the Ipod would make an awesome 24^th Birthday/Christmas present and be very cherished over here. Thanks so much for all of your support, it’s good to know I have so many people that are wishing me well, I love you all.
