I have an acquaintance whose son is leaving for his first deployment with an SF unit in Afghanistan. His mom isn't taking it well (for a variety of reasons), and she and my wife came up with the idea of sending him care packages. Can any current for former downrange guys give me some suggestions as to what we could send him? Some other people have already suggested things like baby wipes, hot sauce/bbq sauce packets, beef jerkey, and Gatorade powder.
Thanks
