Thanks for your continued support, it's much appreciated by all of us!
As far as any special needs/requests go, the below items seem to be "highly desired":

• "Quick fix" microwaveable meals and "cup of pasta" meals (mac and cheese pouches, top ramen noodle, and any tv style dinners that don't require refrigeration)
• Chapstick (Blue or black label)
• Sunscreen (it's easy to get sunburn here with 24 hours of sunlight)
• Tampons, Plastic Applicator (not cardboard)
• Laundry Detergent Pods (they are the little pouches of detergent that melt when they come into contact with water)
• Peanuts, cheese-it crackers, and other various somewhat healthy snacks (candy not preferred)
• Canned spray cheese (for crackers)
• Cologne and perfume (helps when we aren't able to shower for a few days)
• Men's and women's deoderant
• Any short sleeve or long sleeve t-shirts sizes M-XL

Thanks so much! Attached is a picture of some of us from my unit. The mountain in the background of the picture had the top of it shaved off by a glacier (Mt. Dundas). It is finally starting to warm up out here and the snow is slowly starting to melt away. we are so ready for warmer weather!

V/R,
JEFFREY M. DESJARDINS, TSgt, USAF

Hope you all had very happy holidays. Things over here are going as well as can be expected. Things are starting to slow down a little, its getting to cold for the bad guys to come out and play. I have been living in western Afghanistan, about 28 miles from the Iranian boarder. There aren't many of us here, we started with 12 a few months ago and are finally up to 28.

I'll try to write more later.
