I've had a few requests from troops that I'm sending to on behalf of OpFTH. I try to purchase these for the guys myself, to the extent I can afford to, but if anybody else would like to contribute that would be great! PM me for my address to send stuff, and I'll get it right out to the troops. And of course, cigars are always appreciated by our Troops!

Hand cleaner wipes, individually wrapped - Target brand in the purple package is a favorite, but anything that doesn't smell like baby magic or baby perfume would be appreciated. Please no baby wipes that smell like babies - these wipes get used by guys to clean up before meals where there's no access to water, and the food is bad enough without having one's hands small like a clean diaper.

Tactical socks with silver or other anti-microbial treatment - Black or OD Green, features like silver thread that kills germs and fungus, over-the-calf style. Covert Threads Rock Infiltrator Socks have been requested by name, but there may be other brands with similar features.

Individual powdered drink mix flavor packets - Many of these guys get only water, and water that tastes like the inside of a water truck at that, so individual drink mix packets like gatorade, etc, are appreciated. They can't mix pitchers of drinks, so large packets or mixes where they'd need to add sugar separately will not work, but the individual packets designed to be put in a bottled water are perfect.

As I get other requests, I'll post them here. Thanks again to all of you for your support of OpFTH. -B

My wife is one of those extreme couponers and she said she should have no problem getting either the wipes or the drink mix.

PM me the shipping info and I will have her start this weekend on picking up a bunch of boxes of each.

Here are a couple of alternate links for the anti-microbial socks that are less expensive than the tactical socks:


Military Wick-Dry No Blister Boot Sock

http://www.amazingsocks.com/web-pid-6074-Fox-River-Military-Wick-Dry-Maximum-Mid-Calf-Boot-Sock-item.htm 

and

Anti-Microbial boot socks - these have a gray foot, but the tops are black. I think that would be okay - any of you active duty guys care to confirm that a gray foot would be acceptable on socks?

I have an opinion from an active duty United States Marine that the socks with the gray foot will be acceptable, since the white or gray part won't show. It's expressed that perhaps some of the "old guys" won't like them (I didn't ask how THAT was defined, because I'm sure the old guys are in my age group), but that they'll still work.

So there's the word on donating the less expensive socks. Any of them would be appreciated I'm sure. -B

Robert, the whip has a definate B&D or S&M connotation, the bat denotes something else entirely....lets hope you don't get it!

From where I sit you are.

Went to Target to get the hand wipes and they didnt have a clue what I was talking about but found some in a couple of drug stores I stopped by. Now to get some individual drink mix and do a little packing. Hope to send it out by Friday.
