Hey Brian
...
the problem is the lack of funds, that's where your
program has been outstanding. I know that there are
organizations within the system but our job is
just one of many asking for gear. If I had access
to funds here I would use them, but that is not the
case.
I will email are contact info just the same. How's
things on your end? Still coming this way for your
sniper competition? Take it easy brother.

Dear Brian:
I
received a letter from you a couple of months ago.
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have made it through
on my hotmail, so I thought I would try again
on my government account.
I
served in xxxx as the sniper platoon commander
for xxxx. You offered to help us out then and
that is when the email
response I sent was pushed back to me. Now I am serving
as a platoon commander at xxxx and wanted to
touch base with you before we head to xxxx.
Please
let me know what you need from us and I will gladly
get you the information.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lt
xxxx

Hey bud, Just a quick note to say thank you
very much for the gear. I passed it out to the plt.
but kept the little gerber knife. My guys really appreciated
it. I told them that they had to write and thank you
for the gear if they took any of it. We have been
pretty busy over here. Sorry I didn't write sooner.
We are gone alot and the plt. is split
up sometimes doing different ops. Thank the boy scout
troop and the other companies that sent care packages
they were also much appreciated. I will write later
when we get more time but we only get xxxx on the computers.
Thanks again and be safe.
Shoot straight,
XXXXX

Brian,
I
am CPL xxxx, with the xxxx from the
xxxx. We have been tasked, by our Regiment,
with the Sniper/Counter Sniper mission in xxxx.
My unit will be leaving SOON.......... and we are
not provided with adequate equipment.
We
were informed of your organization through one of
our instructors here at our mob site. Just wanted
to find out what the procedures are for requesting
equipment.
I was trained at xxxx and my sniper / spotter was
trained at xxxx. Any info you could provide
us would be greatly appreciated.

Brian, Well thank you again for the xxxx you sent out it is working great. Right now
there are xxxx. The last one just got
a new xxxx last week so he is joining the fight
as well. Which is nice because it takes the load off
of us just a little bit more now. My waist size is
34 and shirt is L my spotters is 34 and shirt is a
M.
Every thing is going well here. I
got four more kills the other day when xxxx.
I will be assigned to xxxx. So, I will
not be in much for a little while. Our email has been
down lately. Our area is heating up fast. Out side
of all that I am still trying to get some good pictures
of my
team in operation. I think we may get some put on
digits and emailed to you soon. I am now in charge
of the recon plt. and majority of the xxxxhere.
Well, I better get going, just thought
I would drop you a line.

I would like to start this email by saying "Thank
you for our efforts to help us over here". I was
surfing the web on additional sniper training and I
came across your site. I am a sniper with xxxx
out of xxxx. It helps me to know that there
are people and organizations helping us to do a better
job here in xxxx.
Again, thank you for your support.

Mr. Sain,
I
am a Marine Sniper serving in xxxx. I graduated
from xxxx on xxxxof this year just in
time to get sent to xxxx. I am a husband and
father of three and the sergeants salary that I am
making is supporting us all.
If
you could help me with a few items, that would be
greatly appreciated. I need a chest rig that is xxxx ........ The flack jacket I have does not fit well
and they don't have any more in supply right now.
Unfortunately they are requiring that we wear them
right now (orders from division). I also need a xxxx. Any underarmor heat gear (either for the
cold that is comming or for the heat that is hear
now)you could get would be extremely useful. The last
thing is called a xxxx. I believe that all these
items can be found in xxxx. I really
need these items. My buddy tells me that you are a
sniper also, so you will know the importance of staying
as cool as possible in a desert environment while
carrying extremely heavy combat loads while staying
out for a few days. I appreciate all that you are
doing to support our kind here.
I believe that this is all the information that you
need (from what a buddy told me from the article he
read):
I
graduated from xxxx
My
address is xxxx
My
direct senior is a Ssgt. here. I will have to ask
him before I release his name. He is in a community,
just not ours. I hope that this is enough information.
I could really use these items.
Thank
you again for this and when I rotate back, I would
like information on how to help others.
Regards,
Sgt.

Sgt xxxx here with xxxx. Had to switch e-mail
accounts, AKO would not let me send e-mail.
About the xxxx, I have xxxx in my section. Would
be great to get new stocks. Also I should have got your
package, but I have been away from my FOB and
unit for the past month, conducting missions with xxxx of the xxxx. Good feeling when the Active Duty
calls the guard to do their work.
I had a new need that came up, with the recent missions
I have been doing I have wore out my assualt pack, tore
the bottom right out. Was looking to see if you could
get your hands on one. I have been trying to carry gear
and stuff in pockets and borrowing bags from others
to get the job done.
And again thank you for your continued support.
Sgt xxxx
