1SGT David F. Charest (U.S. Army/Egypt) just posted today (4/27/08).  Contact for 50 males.  He's asking for personal hygiene items and pretzels.

"We have a very strong Family Support Group leader but who is going through some difficult times and would like to give her a break. Knowing the troop was getting help from outside the orginazation would also make her feel much better. . . . ..Our living conditions are far better than our fellow soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan so if your orginization is to burdoned right now please put us low on priority if we are considered for assistance."

From where I sit, this one's a two-fer, Junkies -- helping our troops AND their families!  AND, the unit is from Pennsylvania (calling all PA Junkies   Plus, I have to say, I haven't had a contact in Egypt before!!!!  And, well, what can I say . . . . . I AM a Junkie, after all

well I guess I will have to get his address and send him a box of Benzels then (ThanksMom) for the hint!

I got their address also -- does anyone know how to send SOFT pretzels :-)  Seriouisly, just a reminder to all the experienced AS junkies not to mix the pretzels and personal hygiene stuff like deodorants in the same box.
