Enlisting

I had a little surprise on an old Letters to a Soldier blog post a few days ago, a comment from an anonymous user. Now I've had some spammy comments so I was a little unsure as to the validity of the comment, but decided to check it out.  I tracked down the FRG of this particular unit and asked about the validity of the deployment, names given, mail stop date etc. I quickly got a reply back that yes they were a real unit, those are real names and they were just deployed not too long ago.

So this is the comment that I received (with a little editing)

MAY I PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE SEND MY TEAM AND I SOME DUCK DYNASTY CARE PACKAGES TO AFGHANISTAN WHERE WE ARE DEPLOYED.

I included there sizes just in case.
I didn't tell any of these people that they would receive a care package just in case it doesn't happen.
You can also find our address on face book.

Now since I am currently without an adopted soldier I decided to take on this request and I'm asking you to enlist with my army of angels to get this one done.

There are 10 guys/gals in this unit and their Captain has requested a Duck Dynasty care package(s) for the entire unit. To see what I did in my last Duck Dynasty care package, click here. I would love to send something slightly different this time so if you have any ideas, send 'em on over!


Some first brainstorm ideas that I've had for this set of care packages are
  • season DVDs of Duck Dynasty
  • camo cupcakes
  • "squirrel" summer sausage
  • donuts
  • felt beards
  • rubber ducks and nerf guns
  • sweet tea/Uncle Si tupperware cups
  • mallow dogs (hot dog buns & marshmallows- a DD specialty)
  • redneck beans
  • camo tye dye t-shirts
  • shotgun shells with candy (painted toilet paper rolls)
Now where I'd like to enlist (hahaha....get it?) help because I'll tell you it isn't easy doing care packages for 1, let alone 10 deployed servicemen/women.....if you or anyone you know would like to contribute to this project Operation Duck Dynasty for B Co. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated! Ideas, money for postage and/or items for the boxes, items for the boxes, notes etc. You can contact me via the comments section or directly by email at operationDD@outlook.com. If you would like to write a note, comment or email me and I will give you a specific name to address your letter to.

Thank you for supporting our deployed soldiers and Operation Duck Dynasty for B Co.!!!!!!!

CARRY! On Monday my phone rang with an unknown number, I don't usually answer these, so I guess since I was really over the place of employment project I was working on I decided "what the hey" "Hello" "Is this Jennifer blah blah blah?" [ah, crap] (see here how I'm protecting my PII) "Yes, it is" "This is the Sheriff's Office, calling to tell you your concealed carry permit is in" "Great!, I'll be out to pick it up today!" And now, I am officially licensed to conceal carry......and put a rush on that Dirty 30 list item to find a pretty gun and a super cool shoulder sling! And yes, PII....that's what working for the federal government will do to your blog.

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is...

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a...
