Booze in a care package...

[leftover]

Has anyone ever done this? Would you?

I was reading a blog, and this GF said that she sends Jack Daniels to her BF in Iraq.. ("I just don't put it on the customs forms--hee hee, lol")

Personally? I hope like hell that the guy who gets that booze isn't anywhere near my SO.. :mad

And I hope he gets caught with it.. And I hope he gets an article 15. And a demotion. Isn't that why it's called "General order NUMBER ONE"????

Are people really that dumb to think that it's okay to have a guy drinking whiskey in a war zone? I mean, what if he shot himself or someone else accidently?

Regardless if his duty day was done, he still has to carry his loaded weapon with him even if he has to take a piss....

DF has said something about sending it to him when he is deployed, but I wont.

He said a lot of people put it in scope bottles and it gets to them just fine.

Personally, Im not sending it to anyone. lol

It's against the law to mail alcoholic beverages.

I dont know why anyone would want to risk that.

I definetly would never do that, and I know DF would never even think of asking me. I know of some people that did drink while over there, which I think is absolutely scary and worries me, but to each their own.

I would never send it. My cousin was deployed for his 21st Birthday and no one even thought it would be funny to send it. Although I do hear stories about troops being drunk down range.

there's always someone on base who has it...so why risk sending it?

It is a complete violation to send that type of item. Not only does it cause grief for the recipient, it will also cause the unit problems. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

Man they should have tip lines for this crap

I sent it to my husband while he was in Iraq. I trusted him to not drink during war time and they only did it when they knew for sure they were off to sleep it off. They never got "drunk" over there but they needed a little relase. If you think I am a bad person for that then you can think what you want. I really dont care.
