Best friend is going to Afghanistan tomorrow..advice please?

Hi there,


My best friend is in the Navy and he is going to Afghanistan for 6 months starting tomorrow morning. He doesn't tell me much about what is going on over there...he says he doesn't want me to worry but can someone please fill me in on how things are going on over there?





*also what is a good care package idea?*





thank you for the help! :)Best friend is going to Afghanistan tomorrow..advice please?
For 'care package' ideas, go to SOLDIERS ANGELS web site:


http://soldiersangels.org/index.php?page鈥?/a>





Scroll down about 1/2 way and you'll see the suggested items for 'care packages' that you can use in your own 'care package'.


Take a look around the (member of the Patriot Guard Riders...www.patriotguard.org ). It was given to me by one of their staff 2 years ago. I wear it proudly and when someone asks about it (gold angel with a soldier's shadow in the center of the angel), I am glad to tell them about the organization.

since he's navy unless he's a SEAL or EOD you dont need to worry about him: he'll be a safe fobbit, meaning he wotn leave the base.





find out what he has available to him at his base before you go loading up a care package. some bases have pretty good PXs on them so he'll be able to buy anything he needs, and you can just send things he wants instead of shampoo, socks, etc.
He'll be fine. The Navy Guys see VERY little ';Action'; over there- because most of what they DO- is off shore Patrolling... SO NOT to worry... -He'll be Home in NO Time ! [ %26amp; Care Packages can include, Candy, favorite Books, Photos %26amp; letters, and a couple of local Hometown Newspapers- to show Him what's been ';goin' on'; by You ! ]. Wish Him ';Well';- from Us ! :)
Ask him to marry you, make love to him, and have his baby 9 months latter.





P.S. Tell him Thank you for his service to our great country and be safe.
Good care package?


Candy that won't melt easy.


Stamps and writing materials.


Write him lots, even if he doesn't write back lots.


Tell him we said thanks.


I'm a vet. :)
Ask him to be safe and main thing is,





ASK HIM TO RETURN AS SUCH HE IS LEAVING NOW,
Tell him to not kill innocents alot.
