For those who are short on cigars but want Jelly - send some dip instead - the Marines, especially, always ask for smokeless tobacco.

There's still prickly pear jelly to be had. I'll send jelly as thanks for donations for cigars, dip or other tobacco, or donations of the items listed here are troop requests, including:

Cigars
Dip
Smokes or other tobacco
Socks
Hand-wipes
Popcorn, coffee, hard-candy
Protein bars, protein powder (especially that mixes with water, milk isn't always available there, and mixing powered protein with powdered milk with water isn't great)
See list at the top for more requests

From one of our targets:



Again, there's jelly out there. PM me for an address, if you have an address for me already please make sure it's the one on Smith, or PM me to ensure it's the correct address. Thanks, -B

Current Troop Requests - PM me for my address to send these goodies - everything you send to me turns around and is en route to our Troops:

-Cigars. Anything and everything is appreciated.

-Coffee - Anything from instant to whole beans from your local high-end coffee shop is appreciated. Anybody who can't grind and brew can trade with someone who can.)

-Cigar cutters - bullet cutters are nice for the pocket, and they don't open up and bite a guy or gal in the azz.

-Matches (I can't send full lighters; I can send empty lighters but if they can't get their hands on the fluid/gas then it's just decorative)

-Hand sanitizer towels or in small bottles, nothing that smells like baby magic, please, these are for washing hands prior to meals, among other things, and nobody wants their food to smell like a baby's bum.

-Good socks (see the thread above - the sock discussion got lots of play, but I didn't wind up with any socks for the Troops, perhaps they went to one of the other OpFTH agents, which would be wonderful)

-Drink mixes (individual mixes that don't require sugar)

-Protein drinks and protein bars

-Anything fun and cheerful, like beach balls (that deflate for shipping) or other fun stuff.

-Cigars of any kind, including machine made, but better cigars are appreciated by those in the know

-Cigarettes (Marlboro and Camel are most requested)

-Dip (Skoal and Kodiak most requested, in regular and mint)

-Snus (General, Camel and Marlboro, or pouches from dip makers)

-Candy - no chocolate between March and October please.

Thanks for posting this. I think BUSA is looking for suggestions to make good on a debt.

If any of you who sent cigars or goodies to the Troops through me need a donation letter for taxes, please PM me. Remember, these are only for items sent directly to me for OpFTH, not all OpFTH donations as a whole.

-Candy and snacks - no chocolate between March and October please, and nothing too delicate that's going to arrive as crumbs.

Topping this....I guess everyone is recovering from their new year's drinking binge...the troops still need goodies though.

I've posted new "thank-you" messages from the Troops. If anyone is looking for ideas of what to send, see this thread. Thanks! -B

Just sent you a PM, as a former Artilleryman, Im always down to send bombs downrange be it cigars or supplies.
