Care Packages

[Arctic_Fox]

Do people in the army really like getting care packages or letters from people? I am just curious and wondering. Is it worth people time to send a letter or care package. And in the carepackage what would they like?

When I was on course, I loved getting mail. I found that I was either extremely buys, or extremely bored. getting mail is something do do in the evenings if there is nothing else to do.

1. baby wipes

3. what else?
