I have another nephew-in-law who is in the air force...he works on the planes. Actually, I have several family members in the service and my niece just joined the National Guard.
As for the care packages...be sure to always send a roll or two of toilet paper! My nephew said they have it there but you can still see the wood chunks in it!! Oh, when I send things I always put them in zip lock baggies...there's a lot of sand over there and it gets into everything...so the baggies give them something to store their stuff in. My nephew said it actually rained mud from the sky...the wind before a storm would blow up the dust and then the rain would catch it in the air and it would fall as mud. Lovely, huh? |
Oh wow...I'll definitly keep that stuff in mind when I put one together for him. Thanks for the tips!
Your family sounds like my family. There's a few in my family whose been in the service, not a lot, but atleast enough to know what military life is like! Hopefully your nephew won't have to go back.
Thanks for praying!
