Brian's deployment info

Well, Brian left for Afghanistan around the 11th of July, and is finally getting settled at his post.

Prayers for his continued safety during the next 15 months, and for God's guidance in his life are very much coveted.

Here's his address-

PFC Brian M Schreiber
F Company, 201st BSB, 3rd BDE, Ist ID
FOB Fenty
APO AE 09310


You'll note that he's PFC (Private First Class), not PV2 any longer. That happened in May, after he passed his last PT test!

I'm putting together a list of some of his favorite treats. So far I have-

Orange or Lime Tic Tacs
White Chocolate (wait until cooler weather though!)
Cheese Pringles
Sour Cream & Cheddar Potato Chips
Books (science fiction/fantasy are his favorite)
Comics
DVDs
CDs
Jolly Ranchers
Magazines- Games, computers, Manga
Fruit flavored gum
Batteries
Lemonade drink mixes (single serving)

I'm sure there's other things too, I'll put together a more complete list when I hear back from him. The only big difference between what I would send Aaryk and what I will send Brian is that Brian does NOT drink coffee (at least he didn't when he left!).

Mostly, he needs to hear from people. Even just short notes or cards can really do a lot to make a bad situation a bit more tolerable. Photos, news from home, all those kinds of things too. If you can't mail something, his email works just fine! If you need it, just let me know!

And prayer. Most definitely prayer!

Thanks again all, for your prayers and support!
