In 27 Days, I am rotating home from Afghanistan. Im going back to my reserve unit in Illinois. It'll take about a week to get home, but my year is finally up!

Hey, I saw over on Hyperscale that the Bagram club is in dire needs of supplies and kits. Whats the story? I sent the person who posted the story a message to get me a good email address and that I wanted to do again what I did for you back in Feb.

Good to hear that.
Just keep your head and butt down until you are on the bird.

Would you lads mind if I jumped in and sent some kits along with you to the Bagram Club, even though I'm a Swede??
Stay safe Darktrooper and welcome back home when you get there.....

Keep it safe until home.
I'll stand a cyber beer for you when you're back.
You boys are doing a great job - don't let anyone tell you different.

Pete, in August my father arranged with his corvette club to get donations. Those donations totalled 17 LARGE boxes of kits and supplies (worth at least 5000 USD). I find it hard to believe that they are that low. I checked out the room a month ago and it was still full to the gills. I dont have any contact information to SSG that is charge of the club now.
Thanks for the well wishes!
