Hey EatSleepFly, no need to dig me. I know they have it rough, but geez, our list sounds like basically they don't have ANYTHING. Surely they have some stuff. I'm not saying "let's not get them anything", I was just suggesting we prioritize and optimize so they end up most happy with all we give them.

By the way, they are Air Force officers AND pilots, which means they get taken care of better than 80% of the other unfortunate Armed Forces individuals in the sandbox. This is not to say they won't be ecstatic or aren't deserving of help, just pointing out that they aren't exactly dug into foxholes with one pair of socks, two MREs, and three cans of ammo.

And WillFly, I said electric razor blades last well over 4 months, not manual blades. Mach3 or whatever they use I bet would be appreciated!

Anyways, in the positive spirit of making the list the best it can be, keep the challenges and ideas coming! That's my take at least.
