I sent a care package to my husband in Iraq today

[AwakeAtLast]

But it wasn't your run-of-the-mill care package. No drink mix, deodorant, baked goods, etc. I did
sneak some candy in. :)

No, what I sent today was cable staples, masonry nails, toggle switches, electrical boxes, and drill bits.

Why? Because he has a job to do before he leaves, but cannot get what he needs to do the job. Seems that
nothing reaches his base very often, especially the things they need the most. It seems that a lot of stuff
just "disappears". I have heard him say these things over and over for most of the time he has been there
(since June 2006), but this is the first time that I have actually had to send him the supplies he needs to
get the job done. I am not upset that I had to buy $30 worth of stuff, box it up, and pay flat rate to ship
it. I am upset because THE F*%&ING MILITARY CAN'T GET THEIR SHIT WHERE THEY NEED IT SO THAT OUR
SOLDIERS CAN DO THEIR JOB!!!! :grr: :grr: :grr:

Frankly, if our soldiers weren't so good, we would be in a much worse situation than we are.
