batteries are fine, no porn, no booze, no weapons(MOST knives are ok), nothing over 70 lbs or 130" in total girth (longest side + outside diameter at it's widest point)

lemme see if I can remember any others...

batteries, heck yea, AA, AAA and 123 are in short supply at the PX's ive been to.  

cough drops - good thinking.

we haven't had much trouble with most batteries, but 123s, 2032s (the ones for the laser grips) and AAA/AAs in the "high energy" configuration (for cameras and whatnot) would always be welcome.

for personal hygiene: high quality disposable razors
                            Mach 3 razors
                            small size shaving cream/shampoo/etc (think TSA regs, but easier to pack for us)
                            individual wrap baby wipes

DVDs are good , somebody will watch them
Paperbacks (most everything except romances for us)
Handheld/travel sized games (but no more decks of cards please)
Boot socks are always good
Hand warmers are nifty

regs say:  No porn
               No booze
               No mags or ammo
              No pork products

oh, and no fraken glitter. opened a xmas care package- full of that crap- still find it occasionally.

I need coffee, hope this helps, later

Zukem,
OK, what are 123's, 2032's ? and can they be flown over sea's, I thought some batteries types were forbidden on airplanes ? Rumor, maybe ?

MT-Pockets,
I'm Pretty close to some Brothel's. Ya want their winter special ?


Midwinter,
I have an ETT near Qalat, That I ship to regularly. Cpt. Just Flipped his Hummer while in the gunner turret. Cuts and bruises mostly, I'm building a donation webpage for him and his team. What FOB are you at ? You have good heeter, I hope. I hear it's getting mighty cold there.


Drop me an email with a wish list ? And I'll get something out to you guys.

You probably shouldn't send mouth wash either, it tends to go bad during shipping for some reason. I got a care package from a buddy one time with the brown listerine, and when I went to use the mouthwash, it smelled like whiskey.

All boxes leaving the country are inspected, they don't seem to be checked coming inSeasons greetings all...

That's happened with mee too! Brown smells/tastes like whiskey, and the blue smells/tastes like Hipnotiq for some reason. I "hate" it when that happened!

Just like others have said you send just about anything as long as it aint PORN or BOOZE and AMMO or some of the other stuff listed. it depends on where you are at if you can get your hands on any ood movies and battires for your surefire lights and oter stuff you migt want.

123's are surefire batteries.  Other battery companies also make them.  I think they are actually called CR123A

I believe 2032 is a size of watch battery.  Walmart should have them.

2032's are the silver colored batteries, sized about like a nickle. Used in a lot of digital
and electronic gear.

I'll keep my eyes open for the batteries.
