Be safe, come home, enjoy the life you've earned.

much respect to you Candy.

Steven

Thank you Steven. Oh I plan on comming home as soon as I can. My reason for not signing a COTTAD to the Army: "I have a family member that goes in and out of the hospital."

I really wish that was a lie too. But it's true. And when she goes in again, I want to be able to be ready to pack up and go to Wisconsin to be with her.

Is Fort McCoy where they send everyone before they go to Iraq?? Like 3 of my friends who are either reservists or active duty also went to Ft. McCoy just before they left for Iraq.. Hmmm.

Well anyway, have "fun" I guess.. Be safe, watch yer arse.

Theres alot of bases to get Mobed out of. McCoy is just one of the larger ones in the midwest. The first time I went over there, *with Odims* we mobbed out of Camp Atterburry, IN.

:arrow IMPORTANT!

If you would like my shipping address for when I get to Iraq, I got it.

This is how you would write it out.

SPC Knight, Jessica L.

TF 321/ 718th En Co.

APO AE 09396

I know some of you wanted this address when I got it. So here it is.

:arrow REMEMBER: It can take from 6-14 days for me to get mail. So if you send me something, I will let you know via PM.

If you do want to send me anything, your best bet is to start in December. I should be in Ramadi by then. or atleast on my way. they will just hold my mail for me until I get there.

Thank you!

Are there specific things that you REALLY will want / need or things that you can't have?

That's a great question! I didn't think to ask if there were things that couldn't be mailed or what specifically would be good to send.

Let me see what there is in the PX.

We aren't supposed to have drinkies sent to us. But there are ways to get around that. Like putting it in different containers and matching the liquour to what the colour of that substance was.

As for just sending stuff. I am not a picky person. I like it when people see something, and they quickly they think of me. My mom did that. She sent me some weird things, because she knew it would make me smile.

UPDATE: This sunday I will be leaving to go to Kuwait. I was able to get on an early flight. Which is good for me because it's less sitting around and thinking kinda thing.

If you wonder when a good time will be to send me letters or anything else, the safe zone is December. I can bet that I will be there.

I only have 274 days left until I can come home. Remeber, it could be earlier, but I won't know until they tell me.

Mish you all, and see you all soon.

-Candy- :wave
