I'm curious about how and where soldiers hang large pieces of fabric between their beds for privacy. I have some, but frankly, it's heavy, nearly army green (not exactly a chnage of scenery).  Anyone have working knowledge of the practicals? For exxample, would Ineed to send rope and clothespins, should I run a pocket rod hem, should I ask before I send it? It would take up an entire large FRB so I want to make sure I send only what would be used.

 For one of my contacts I sent several shower curtains that I found marked down at Kohl's.  I also sent the shower curtain hangers thingees with the rolling metal balls on top for ease of movement, these were purchased from Lowes.  I sent several heavy gauge twines, some heavy duty laundry rope and hammer and nails.  I got an email back that they made this system work well and all the extra supplies were kept to repair the privacy screen system at a later date.

I don't know if this will work in your contact's situation.  A lot would depend on the type of building they are living in. 

Best, 

This is my experience, which is similar to Buckeye Sue's. 

I just sent these items a week ago, so I was hesitant to post about it until I heard back from my contact.

I found several "bungee type" clotheslines.  I got one at ***'s Sporting Goods -  Coghlans Pegless Bungee Clothesline #0433 and the other at CVS.    The one at ***'s has a carbiner type hook on each end.  They extend around 8 foot each.  I figured my contact could hook one side of the bungee on each side of the bunk area as a type   of "curtain rod".  I found a very inexpensive cloth shower curtain and plastic hooks that I figured he could feed on the bungee as a curtain.  It seems like it will work.  You could probably make it even longer if you could hook a couple more bungees together...just a thought.

Just heard from my contact today.  Everything worked beautifully, and they were VERY pleased.  I can't wait to see the pictures!
