"We are doing a shoebox for my nephew for Christmas, what should we put in it,Better to find out what he needs. Well done babe. Nice 
might be worth contacting someone from his regiment or speaking to someone who has served a tour there and asking what things are in demand for the troops over there.
hope you see him home soon.  "
Not due home for another 6 months,he is a husban2d and a father of 2? |

My son served in Afgan and we was told no chocolate as it melted before they got it. He loved the jelly sweets and sachets of flavoured tuna type fish was good with oat cakes or other savoury biscuits. Oh and squash as they had to drink lots and the water got so hot when out on patrol but hot squash wasn't so bad.
But as already said he just loved getting messages and photo's of home |

bfpo has a weight limit of 2kgs, liquid is frowned apon for spillage/spoiling other parcels. Due to mostly all stuff flown in, the RAF do strive to send everything.
Someone important stressed, that only family should post. Ensuring no parcels arriving late due to well meaning public gifts, gettung there first.
EFI is expensive so toiletries are a good choice, swedgers biscuits usual nibbles.
hope thishelps  |

"I see suggestions of chocolate. Doesn't it melt in Afghan heat?pmsl never flown in a herc 
Do you go on the plane to eat it?"
unfortunatly you used to fly with care packages and they were treated with more respct care and attention than the passengers lol to be fair if packed well dosnt matter if melts a little usually off herc and units quartermasyers are there to pick it up then mail call on return and into tent may be hot but shaded areas stop melting to bad |

If hes there now, you can send chocolate. Its getting cold there now. Jan and feb will be freezing depending where he is. I loved receiving chocolate. A few magazines, haribo, shower gel and tooth paste and some letters from people. Although i'm sure he'll be able to get on FB. |
