No blogging for a couple of days

We are leaving this afternoon for a couple of days of isolation in the desert and I will not have access again until Friday. I do have some more information about the base in Afghanistan however. First, I will be moving directly into my new room once I arrive. The rooms there are 2-3 man rooms however, the guy I am relieving has set me up to replace him in his room which is shared with a civilian O-6 equivalent so there will be no third person in our room! I will have Internet access in my room and should be able to keep up the blog and with e-mails with no problems! We do not have U.S. stores on the base, only European PXs which have been described as "corner convenience stores at twice the price." That being the case, I would appreciate RED licorice (Twizzlers or Red Vines), some beef jerky, Circuit City/Best Buy/Frys/Home Depot/Lowes/Target ads from the Sunday Paper, Chex mix (homemade kind), cashews, sugar free jolly ranchers, microwave popcorn (butter/movie theater butter), or anything else you may want to send. Letters and pictures would also be extremely appreciated!!
