Will you please help me with 3 last care packages for my 30 marines?

[Hawkeye]

I have 3 *VERY VERY* special marines that I love to peices. I *MUST* send this out Monday at the latest. I'm going to tell you about them and what I know of them and if you could please let me know if you have any ideas (other than porn because it could get my boys in trouble) so please give me some ideas for them! You know I'm just saying what it is they like to do and a little about them. So any help at all would be very beneficial!

Jon-

MSgt- very sweet man. Strong Christian, republican, very proud of his job as a marine. Loves to read, diving, sky diving, loves the water.

Stewie-
Adorible. Just adorible. Yes that is his nick name. He likes hunting, fishing, movies, and weaponry. Basically he's a good ol boy from Idaho. LOL

Chucky-
Another adorible man. From Louisiana. Loves to party, loves to dance. His nick name for me is Shawty or lil'momma. '

So if you girls can help me out here I will be FOREVER in your debt!!!

do you know what books john already has? i could recommend a number of books but considering his background & likes he may have read them all already. when you say he loves the water do you mean like scuba diving?

stewie might like a movie called "jeremiah johnson" if he hasn't seen it already. also, something that might keep his feet warm while being outdoors, like some silk sock liners for warmth.

that's not a whole lot to go on w/ chucky.

Thanks Oro!

Jon loves scuba diving. He adores it. He has told me all about the fishes he's gotton to poke at like a puffer fish. I know he's read the left behind series.

What is Jeremiah Jones could I get it at Target? for Stewie?

I know about Chucky. It's very difficult with him. He is very free spirited. :/ I know he loves to go clubbing and partying but thats about it. :/

I really appreciate your help Oro, I owe ya big time!

you're welcome.

ya, you could get jon something like a book of some gorgeous underwater area (both text & pictures.) i think that'd be really nifty. here are some to consider:

ya, you should be able to get jeremiah johnson at target. i think that's where i got mine.

hmmm, would a string of "party lights" be approved for him to receive? you know, the kind folks hang around in fun shapes (jalapenos, palm trees, fish.) or maybe a few funky drinking glasses? just trying to think of something FUN.

hth a bit more.

 

[Hawkeye]

Not sure if party lights I can send. Will e-mail jon and ask.

Ohhh those are some good ideas for Jon and Stewie. I am going to head up there tonight to see what I can find for them

I'd say magazines - because I was going to suggest that you rip out cool pictures, ads, landscape pictures from magazines, but I guess you could buy general interest ones appropriate to their interests, you know, like music, the men-oriented ones (not porn but Ralph-type ones, the ones that supposedly focus on what guys like), entertainment.

What about foodstuffs that you can only get in America? I'm originally from Britain and it's so dumb, but you miss the little things, like certain sweets or chocolates. You don't have to get heaps, just ones that spell America. I think of Oreos or JellyBelly jellybeans. You might think it will make them sad and I guess it would a teensy bit, but it's also a nice reminder of home. Do you know what I mean? I get that feeling a lot too, but the nice bit much more than the sad bit. Can remind you of good times.

Hope that helps!
