One of my friend's son is EOD stationed at Ft. Stewart. She said that staples such as toilet paper and paper towels are slow to be restocked in restrooms. She also gave me the name of a Capt. at a FOB who would welcome food / snack carepackages for his guys. They are living on 2 MRE's (sometimes 3) and kitchens closed. Her son knows the Capt. They are hungry.
Guess some of the EOD guys getting ready to deploy are concerned about safety equip. Some of these youngmen do not have the extra cash in their bank accounts to buy the equipment they want. They've been told to 'suck it up'...
This may not give pause to many, but for those who have family/friends, it is unsettling to say the least.
