I received a email today from a fellow student here at law school:
The Military Law Society wants to help a Florida Coastal student that is deployed in Mosul, Iraq. Captain Jeremiah Blocker started as a 1L in the fall of 2007, however in the Spring of 2008 his reserve unit was recalled and deployed to Mosul. Currently Jeremiah is the commander of the 351st Military Police Company. As of now, it is uncertain when he and his soldiers will return.
In order to assist Jeremiah and his unit, I have gotten in touch with him and asked him if there are any hard to find items that we can provide that make life a little more comfortable. He sent me a hit list of highly desired items. I attached the list. As you will see some of the items are basic toiletries (toothpaste, loofas, shaving cream, q-tips, etc.). Other items are used by the unit to hand out to some of the children in the city while his soldiers are on patrol (soccer balls, footballs, etc). Other items are practical items that are needed for the environment (sunscreen, bungee cords, socks).
The attached list was:
Baby Wipes
Bungee cords (all lengths and sizes)
Copenhagen
Tylenol
Sunscreen
Tanning Oil
Chap Stick
NOS energy drinks
5 hour energy shots
Razors
Shaving cream
Shaving soap
After shave
Darts
Deodorant
Body wash
Loofas
Shampoo
Toothpaste
Beef jerky
Gatorade/propel flavor packets to add to water bottles
Footballs
Baseballs/gloves
White socks
Dry erase markers/pens
Q-tips
Laundry detergent
Dryer sheets
So I am going to start putting together a PIF package for my fellow classmate. If you are interesting in helping out, shoot me a PM.
The final iteration of the PIF package will be posted here. We are hoping to have it mailed out in about two weeks.
Thanks!
P.S. If this is the wrong forum, feel free to move it.
EDIT: Several members have wanted to contribute but it isn't feasbile to ship just a few household items. So, I opened up accepting paypal donations. I will note your contributions and go down to the dollar store to pick up whatever isn't donated.
