Thanks for all the responses folks. Nice to know that people care.
I'm sitting here waiting for the plane to load and have a few minutes of downtime.

As far as the address, I appreciate the offers to send stuff but personally, I don't really need anything but there are some junior Marines who don't have any type of familly support network that would love it. I will ensure that if something get's sent to me, I'll post a picture with the Marine's response.

Porn mags are umm, how should I put it, a no no! Postal randomly inspects packages and if they find porn, or alcohol or anything else, it gets confiscated and a notification is sent out to the CO. Anyway, the majority of these folks bring their stash via their personal laptops anyway, lol.

My mailing address is as follows:
SSgt Monroe, Darren K.
VMA-311 (S3 Ops)
Unit 43015
FPO AP 96426-3015

As for the other questions, fortunately, no I won't be on the front lines, but come to think about it, there are no front lines in this type of conflict. :approve:
All we do is send the Harriers out to do the dirty work.

This is my seventh overseas deployment, so hopefully this is the last one. 2 1/2 years until retirement.

Is that FPO going to get it to you?

Get a "wants list" together.

I know from my brother-in-law what the grunts were wanting (he's a Colonel in the Army so don't hate too bad). He is in Sadam's hometown.

Stay safe and stay low...

Good luck and I hope you make it home safely.

A friend of mine was in and out of Kabul, Afghanistan for almost 2 years. It wasn't too much fun, but he made it alright. Take care Darren!

 

[tetrapak]

Take care of yourself, and take care of the iraqi people (if you'll have any contact with them) as well, especially the children.

 

[jasdon11]

Watch your back, and here's to a safe trip!

Darren,

First a heartfelt Thank You. Keep your soldiers safe. I know how important that
must be to you.

Second to Doc Com's comments. Let us know what they want and need.

As some of you might have guessed from my comments, my family has been involved in US military since the beginning. Hence, we are with you.

Like many, to be honest, I had my doubts about the war. But I just rented "No End In Sight." Those who have not seen it should view. Whatever the mistakes we made, if we pull out now, Iraq will become the world center for a global terrorist network which is already starting to threaten Europe, not to mention the US and the rest of the earth.

For better or worse, we need to finish the job.

Have a safe tour of duty - come back in November & vote against those who want to prolong this war.

Darren,
Be fair. There is no right or wrong in all these conflicts. Stay alive. We need you here.

Let us know what you guys need, I'm sure many people here will send it away, even for your buddies. Towels? Sanitizer? Hand cream? Soap? Shampoo? Toothpaste? Movies?

Look,

War is the most vile thing on earth. You don't have any disagreement there from me.

What we have to figure out is how to end war, and create peace.

Nuf said.

What we have to figure out is how to end war, and create peace.

It will never happen until something threatens the world as a whole (meteor, alien invasion, etc..) and even then some will strive for conflict, homo sapiens are too barbaric and violent like many primates.

Good Luck DD, come back in one piece ! and don't forget to renew your domains

 

[fab]

Thank you for your service to your country.
I wish you well and a safe return.

Ditto!

Darren....There are many who disagree and have issues with this war but I believe that most, like myself, have the utmost respect and pride for the military men and women involved in it.

Thank you Darren for your service and I pray to God you will return home safely.....Be assured you have my support and my respect.

 

[packeted]

Good luck Darren,
Hope to do business with you again soon!

Best of luck Devil Dog
