It was a package containing various goodies:

Hygiene items- (lotion, soaps, razors)

First Aid Kits- Did you guys know I'm a Medic/ EMT??? Very nice....

2 Magazines (1 hunting and 1 financial magazine that I should probably give to my wife) [hopefully she never sees this]

Mike & Ike's, Gum, Girl Scout cookies, Ramen Noodles (A quick meal thats a Soldiers favorite)

Some pens and pencils

And of course, letters from the kids. That's always the best part.

I can go into more detail, but I have to go look again.

Thanks again, OpFTH!!!

If you are ever in the Midwest, post on the MMMh'er thread on the Cigars and Related forum. There is always a thread there.

Let us know when and we will try to organize a herf.

The MMM stands for Mid-Michigan Militia and is just a group of folks from the Midwest (expansion teams outside MI) that get together once in a while for a herf.

Thank you for your kind words!

Your Sis,

Jules

Wow. So all that stuff that goes to OpFTH really gets sent out to the troops and doesn't go in Schmitty's closet @ home?

Hiker, stay safe for the short time you have left.

Holler if you ever find yourself in the S GA/N FL area.

I am in Florida all the time, and the midwest too, Jules. (Ohio) I would be willing to arrange something sometime.

IUROX- My In-Laws are in W. Palm Beach. I would not have a problem driving halfway to meet up for a Herf if the opportunity presents itself. And my wife is pretty supportive of the whole Cigar thing, so a few hours drive is no big deal to meet up.

Schmitty- Yes you are!!!

In Ohio, my family is there in Cleveland, and Grandma in Dayton. I pretty much plan on meeting up with njstone, (hopefully) cause he is in Dayton.

So thats the deal. I hope to meet lots of S/BOTL and Herf like Bill Clinton had something to hide...

Oh, wait a minute.....
