I have a feeling I may not get the Vibrator through the scanners at Brize without some laughter and the rest of the plane being told what I'm carrying!

Don't worry, Femme and Diamond will keep everyone informed...... and anyone who wants to write to me, I'll send them my e-bluey address

It's very hard to stay in touch with a sex site as you need to use your own laptop and connection is a bit of an issue.

I'm taking a notebook for e-blueys but not lugging a laptop over. Everything will have to wait until I get back in December.

Kids bought me a kindle and Jason's got me a new camera..... they all go in the capacious pockets on the combat trousers, so still got about 30kg I can take.......

I came up with......

Haribo

Comfy boxes are taking about 4 months to arrive at the moment, so not gonna bother as you can get most stuff in the American PX.

So about 30kg left on packing for the 7 months.

Op minimise is off and on very regular and sometimes for days.

Always some complaining they cant use the phone or internet because of minimise but they just have to be reminded to shut the fuck up and get over it as it is on because some poor soldier has been badly injured or even killed.

I have loads of respect for the soldiers deployed there having worked alongside them although I never went outside Bastion so did not have to endure the dangers they did.

iPod loaded to the max, spare net book battery , photo of nearest and dearest. Two pairs of Goretex boots, PW jelly( loads of uses), leather man multitool, good pen to write with, paper to write on, your fav thing that you love to eat( mine are fig rolls), a piece of daughters clothing in a air tight bag so when in a crap mood one smell and things seem better. A star of David ( my granddad insisted it of all of use), and you can lend all my luck to make sure you are safe, just let bright have it after you are finished with it. But on a serious note stay safe and come back secure, safe and sane.

I've put in an order for myosin (foot powder) and an order with the kids to get a photo of them all together before I go.

Piccie of Jason (to scare the flies)

Piccie of the grandson (to blubber over).

Now....

I just need to get under the bed and get all my holiday clothes out and see what is suitable to take........

Lots to see out there and some lovely people. Take some cheap sweets for the local kids as they don't get a lot.

"Don't know why you'd go, we didn't need to go in the first place."

Don't troll. It's not what the thread's about, start your own.

Do you understand it at all anyway? Or even the mindset of those serving or MOD civ staff?

she is going because she is part of our womderful fighting force.

she has accepted the queens coin and as such is under obligation to go.

the politics of the decision is not the OPs to argue, agree or disagree with, it is her duty and im sure she will carry out her duty with pride, honour and an amount of professionalism that many in civvi street could only hope to get anywhere near.

Your favourite tipple in a cleaned out mouth wash bottle or 2. Alcohol is one of the few things difficult to get your hands on.

A poker set came in useful on my tour, was our little treat to look forward to, when we were back on camp.

All latest films can be bought from Afghans who are screened and allowed on camp for about 2 dollars each.

A portable hard drive, full of all sorts Music/Films/Porn.

And some of your favourite/good quality bedding, ie Nice Sheets, Nice pillow. Makes all the difference to slip into a nice bed.

Everything else you can buy from the NAFFI or get from stores.

Have a swift and safe tour xx

"How about a few inexpensive novelty gift items you could hand out to local kids as a goodwill gesture....

Ohhhh, good idea. I've got a few trips so might get some of the girls at work to send out small colouring books and crayons, small bags of sweeties etc...

Excellent."

And if you go into Argos/Screwfix you can scrounge those free pens they supply for you to write your order out with! If you ask nicely they might even throw some un-issued ones!

The 2 comments above were good ideas that have been forgotten..

everyone who like a little tipple every now and again - should fill up a bottle or 2 of mouthwash with vodka etc..

and giving something as silly as an argos pen to a kid over there is a magical feeling ..

I'm lucky, I don't really drink so no problems on that front but will be stocking up on wipes and cotton knickers (apparently, anything but cotton gives one a spotty deriere........ )

One of the girls suggested face masks for a once a week, get rid of the dust film on ya face, session so gonna buy 30 and box them over!

I still can't believe I'm going and will probably seem more real when the dog tags turn up (should be within the next 7 days).

Thank you to everyone for the messages on here (and in private) and for all the support....... but you've still got 6 weeks of me driving you all insane and you've got Brightbabe for longer! ha!!

Playing with fun weapons, starts to wane after cleaning the fecker everyday for aprox 200 plus days. Working knowledge is good as stoppages do occur.

Eyes open mouth shut monkey see monkey do.

Remember carrot every time no stick as it is their way or noway.

Less than 6 weeks is enough time to brush up on first aid battlefield style.

We're not allowed bikini's or very short shorts. We still have to respect the local customs as we have Afghan cleaners.

Got an air bed already over there courtesy of the person I am taking over from.

Don't think I'm gonna be needing the duvet though

I have done all sorts of stuff but not Afghanistan. I do not know the local conditions out there. The only piece of advice I can give is to take a few good books with you. After coming in off patrol with sore feet, sore hands and aching back I found complete escape from what I was doing with books like Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and Lord of the Rings by Tolkein.

I echo what others have said, stay safe!

Just seen this, what do you wear off duty..i am asking cos when i was back packing (not the same of course) i wore a salmar and kamize(excuse spelling) cos they are designed for that climate they are so much more comfy to wear...

So basically long fitting soft cotton pants, and a long sleeved cotton top...respectful and comfortable.

I'm taking long linens from Primark so if the Chinese laundry boil them, it won't matter so much cus they are cheap.

And a dozen cotton loose(ish) tops.

Laundry is 24 hour turn-round so shouldn't needto take soo much.

Make sure you wash any decent clothes youself as the laundry is boil in a bag and everything comes out 10 sizes smaller and either blue or pink.

And advisable to take some wasing powder if you have room or just send yourself some before you go.

good luck.
