In Kuwait it was pretty easy to find Subway and Burger King but here in Camp Iron Horse it's Army food or no food. I've been told there are a few Iraqi restaurants in town but many of the soldiers avoid them since this town is full of Saddam's supporters and family members. You never really know what they'll do to the food when you're not looking.
On the upside I'm told their is a BBQ Chicken place which cooks the chicken right in front of you but I haven't been able to go of base that much yet. I'll be sure to report back when I do though.
BTW Thanks everyone for the well wishes but please don't send any money. I'm getting paid well to be here and I know most people here at poly are starving students. A letter or just a post here would be much better then sending money.

I'm thinking about starting a small herb garden since we have room in the back yard. It would be really cool if you guys could send a few seeds of commonly grown herbs and vegies.

Lancer, I'm thinking of sending $20 or so (depending on what we decide to get for him). I'll send a check to you. When are you going to start collecting?

Then you can get the Iraqi's hearts and minds by giving the herbs and veggies to the poor people.

"Lancer, I'm thinking of sending $20 or so (depending on what we decide to get for him). I'll send a check to you. When are you going to start collecting?"
When the money starts coming in. Myself I have at least $20 I'm willing to put in. I haven't checked email today but maybe 4 or 5 people have commited to pitching in up to this point. All this is no doubt lifting Oerdin's spirits, but as far as putting some stuff from home in his belly that will bring a smile...4 or 5 have asked for my mailing address to contribute. Add to this Zkribbler who will do what he said he'll do, and figure 5 or 6 sending maybe $10 or $20. We're looking at a hundred or so...

Great Imran. 
Just checked my email and nothing new from Poly folk. If everyone that commited truly helps out we'll have a hundred or so and therefore enough for one good care package.
I really hope to post the names of those who truly help Oerdin out.
I'll post names and amounts unless someone asks not to be posted. Seperate the men from the boys as it were.

Ted (Derek) is as good as his word. We know this from the days of the Poly house. Derek, Dolores says hi and asks for your dad, how is he? 
Anyway, this effort just got a boost.

Oerdin, these "starving students" and the rest of us built a house in the Philippines for some folks who never had a place in their lives. Don't count them out, they're truly great. No ****. These people are something...

Yeah but Oerdin it's cool as hell to get stuff in the mail. Plus even though you're getting paid well it's not even close to being enough for what you are doing.

I decided against buying you some seeds when I was in the supermarket today. It's better to have someone in southern US get them for you, so you get breeds that are better suited for the hot climate, with growing advice in English.
I have 12 bucks waiting in an envelope with Lancers adress. That was all I could find in my drawer, but I guess the amount is irrelevant. Now I only have to get the correct stamp and write a short personal greating before I send it.

Oerdin thanks, I'll look for it tomorrow. Time to call it a night.
"The white flag is in the post."
"How about a T-shirt with "I surrender" in Arabic on it?"
Seems the US and Australia issue different equipment to the troops.
