The pictures of Trav I posted are from his time in Iraq from 8 months ago. And yes that was the Patika provence Ballad area if I remember correctly. He and his team are currently lets just say in and around the afghan/pakistan border northern area. An address we have for him currently is for the area of Chosin. Not saying thats where he is specifically but thats where care packs are delivering to.

I'd love to give more details on what he's doing and where but I dont need my inbox filled again with a bunch of people telling me i'm like geraldo on Fox news giving out specific coordinates and to keep my mouth shut. Which is why I had gone back and deleted a paragraph out of the first posting update.

Thank you for your intrest in helping out and more so thank you for your service.

:patriot:
There are two adjoining provinces, Patika and Paktika. Confusing. Never saw a single paved-road, and I was all over the province (I don't count cobblestone roads in the village/town center as pavement).

I was just told that my post-merger company (now based in Switzerland and of French origin) no longer has a Troop-support program. I will have to see what I can do on my own.

Re: *UPDATED* Times are tough but lets help out our soldiers....

Those care packages meant everything to us over there. Out in the FOBs (Forward Operating Base) they supposedly have a PX. It usually consists of a room with cigarette lighters and boxes of Ramen noodles (when it is open).
Women Soldiers are especially hard-hit as many of the items that they require for creature comforts are simply not available.
I will see about starting a drive here at work. When I was overseas my company sent care packages not only to me and my team, but to the unit that we supported and continued after I came back home.

BTW, can you tell us where your Soldier is? That sure looks like Paktika province.
