Jared called yesterday morning. He is at a base in Kandahar. Will be there for probably 3 more weeks. They are not doing much--so quite bored! I asked what he needed in packages--and his words were cigarettes. OK--I don't like sending them, however, I hear that if they don't have them, they "BUY" from their buddies and since they are such a hot item--they pay alot to each other (no such thing as borrowing them! haha) They are unable to get them there--only through care packages.
So--Dave went to the corner store to get some, and the lady there said, "You are not taking up smoking, are you?" So--for all of you embarrassed to go buy them--just remember, you'd rather be here buying them, then sitting over in Afghanistan! (if you find it in your heart to send some--any non-menthol will do!)
Other than than--he's doing great. On the base they even have a Burger King and Subway! Once he leaves that base though, I think it will be very primitive!
The other thing he requested is games and movies for PSP--if anyone has used ones they are no longer playing or watching--please send!!!
That's all I know for today! Thanks to everyone who has written and said they'd send packages! He also told me "moto mail" was up and running--I think that was a BIG hint!

Jackie,
The Collins Family is keeping all of you in our prayers. I'll send cigs too.
Love,
Vicky
also Marlboro Blend 27s are preferred I was told to inform everyone.
They're usually next to the Marlboro Reds and are a coper looking color in case they have them (not all stores carry them because they're not as popular)
