Hey there everyone...I know that many of you are eager to know Jeff's address to start mailing packages. I talked to Jeff this afternoon and it sounds like his unit is on a 1am flight Saturday (into Sunday) to deploy. He couldn't remember exactly where they said they would be stopping, but I will let everyone know once I do hear from him.
Here is Jeff's address while in Afghanistan...
Porcaro Jeffrey
PRT Zabul, FOB Lagman
APO AE 09355
Since I have not sent a package to an APO address before, I am not sure of the paperwork that needs to be done at the post office. I'm sure that if you ask, the workers at the counters will help you with them. Also, there are APO flat rate boxes available...I am not sure how much it is to send, but I will let you know next week once I send one. I saw 2 different sizes at my post office. Jeff also left me a list of items that he will be able to use...please make sure to space some of this out...he won't need 5 of everything right away, but here is what he has asked for.
Jeff's List
Copenhagen Straight Long Cut Tobacco (they have logs of 5 or 10 packs)
Baby Wipes (refill packages would be best...he doesn't need the box)
Small packages of powder laundry detergent (Tide preferably)
Snuggle Dryer sheets (small packages)
Tooth brushes (SOFT please)
Toothpaste (mint, not cinnamon)
Q-Tips
AA & AAA batteries
Bug Spray 99% Deet (we found small ones at CVS, no big cans please)
Cherry Chapstick
Sensor Excell Razor cartridges (we buy them at Sam's)
Gum, hard candy or suckers (he really likes Worthers)
This is what he gave me so far. As he goes through his deployment, he will be sure to let me know what else he may need or what he doesn't need for awhile. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call about it. I know that Jeff will greatly appreciate any mail or boxes that he receives, as well as comments left here for him to read when he can. I will post more on Jeff's time home later with some pics as well. Just wanted to get the address out there for you guys. Pray for a safe trip over and for a safe deployment...we can use all the thoughts we can get!
