You know, now that I've got a job, I realise I've got extra cash sitting around, and I was thinking that I'd like to put some care packages together for the troops. *shrug* Why not, eh?
What do soldiers want in their care packages?
Snacks, for one thing. You can never have too many snacks. Air freshener like whoa. Batteries. Lots and lots of batteries. Soap, toothpaste, shampoo, hand sanitizer... stuff like that. Entertainment? Karen Traviss books would be an awesome idea. Can't go wrong with Republic Commando. There's gotta be Star Wars fans out there. More air freshener. More snacks. More batteries.
Return address? That might be smart. I've never been in the military, but just from hearing soldier stories, the one thing they want the most is a connection to home. So, a little letter, maybe some stamps and envelopes and such. Do they get provided with envelopes and paper and such? Might be worth checking into.
I think I'm gonna need a bigger box.

Random string of conciousness sometimes. Other times there can be some well planned, thought-provoking blogs. Mostly it's the former. Rants and stressing about college, writing novels, and English class.
