E-mail from Eric!!!!

Here's part of an e-mail I received from Eric today (I cut out the private parts of course!!) ;)

....I feel much better today after having slept 9 hours last night. I got woken up a few times from jets taking off and landing, but went right back to sleep. The big ones are LOUD! Conditions here aren't too bad. It's not too hot (under 40) but there is a lot of dust. Food is ok, there's good salad available every meal so there's healthy stuff and good cookies for not so healthy stuff. Our offices are really nice and new but the living area is pretty sucky. It's worse thans Iraq was in 2004.... I'm living in a large open tent for the next few days, but should be heading to the other location in a few days. Not sure yet what my location will be like, but I think I will be in a tent for awhile....
... Today was lame...a bunch of generic classes about Afghanistan. Plus it was in an un-air-conditioned gym, so it was hot as hell. Tomorrow I'll start learning about my job....OK, gotta run. I'm doing fine, so don't worry. Not sure when I'll be able to call and Skype is a long way off still....


He's in Bagram right now and his new location will be Kandahar. If you already have things you would like to send please hold them until at least Monday- we don't want it to get there before he does (sometimes the packages/letters/etc. get lost this way).

Here's Eric's contact information:

MAJ. ERIC JANKOWSKI
TF ODIN-A/TASK FORCE PEGASUS
BLDG 407C, KANDAHAR
APO AE 09355

He can still receive e-mails under: copterdriver@hotmail.com
His primary e-mail address once he's in K.: eric.jankowski@afghan.swa.army.mil

Thank you so much for all your support!!!!! We really appreciate it!!!!

just a quick info, if you happen to be in germany and know anybody connected to the military stationed in germany, they most likely will have an APO address. Have them send packages for you BECAUSE it will be sent through MPS (Military Postal Service) meaning its free. I used to sent footlockers full of food to my husband in Iraq and did not have to pay a penny for the shipment.

Keep your head up Vicki, I know its hard. Rubbel des Baeuchlein von mir und nen fetten Hug an den Herr Nelson.

Tell Eric to be safe
