Care Package Ready for Shipment

My wife and I packed up a care package for a Marine who inabits my favorite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu forum... He said he likes beef jerkey so we pretty much shoved a dried up cow in a box and threw some peanuts in for variety.

Some other suggestions I found for military care packages, from this site, are:

• Baby Wipes - great for taking a field bath - packets are better than tubs
• Beef Jerky/Slim Jims
• Energy Bars (Power Bar, etc.)
• Hot Sauce (Tabasco, Red Devil, etc.) - wrap glass bottle in duct tape and place in doubled zip-lock bags
• Sunflower seeds
• Peanuts
• Seasoning Salt (Lawry's, etc.)
• Atomic Fireballs / Jolly Rancher hard candy
• Powdered Energy/Electrolyte Replacement Drink Mix (Gatorade, etc.)
• Chewing Gum
• Avon Skin So Soft - great for removing face paint and also reputed to be an effective bug repellant (the latter seems variable based on personal experience and reports)
• AA-cell Alkaline Batteries
• Personal Hygiene Gear: Disposable Razors, Toothbrush and Tooth Paste
• Eye Wash / Drops (Visine, etc.) for flushing dust and sand out of the eyes
• Zip-Lock style Plastic Storage Bags - assorted sizes, heavier freezer style are better
• Copenhagen Snuff in a tin ("Even if the service member doesn't dip snuff, they will be a hero and have more power than the Commanding Officer if they have a 'log' (10 cans) of 'Hagen.' A large percentage of infantry use this stuff and it is hard to get. The stuff they do get comes in a plastic can and tastes terrible. The 'Stateside Hagen' is the most powerful bargaining tool in a field environment!")
• Pre-paid Phone Card so service member can call home

There's a bit of pattern there, yes? If it helps to cure boredom or remove dirt, they can use it.

If you want to send a deployed soldier, sailor, flyer (?) or Marine something, but you don't know any, this site seems pretty good.
