I am with the 1460th Trans Co out of Midland. We are down in TX training, then in Sept we deploy to the sandbox again. Anybody here that might be able to send care packages? We are going to be needing as many latex and nitrile gloves as we can get. I will try to get on here every day, but the web here is shoddy at best, send me an email, or IM, or just post. Thanks, guys.

What are the gloves used for?

We will be doing detainee operations in Iraq, and the Iraqi people are not known for their cleanliness, the gloves will be used when we search the detainees, so pretty much all day, every day. The more glove we can get, the better, I will be letting people know the address once we hit ground next  month.

I'm in for a couple boxes.

Take care and thanks for your service.

Nitrile if you can.  Wearing latex all day like that is a good way to develop sensitivities/allergies to it.  My wife's a nurse.  I'll tag this thread and check back for your address.  Might also want to stick this in the general discussion area for all to see.

Like I told you before, I'm in just let me know. I've been slacking lately so I have a stack of flat rate boxes and customs forms on hand use up.

I highly recommend a pair of the LE gloves that have both puncture resistance and the blood borne pathogen barrier.  They're not a whole lot warmer than nitrile, but they are much more durable.

By active duty Marine Corps logic, you aren’t ready to deploy unless you spend 6-8 months doing patrolling in the woods.
