In Response To: Dave Fogg - Afghanistan ()

Mark,

I had asked one of the soldiers to respond if they received any packages but I have not received and response to date. I know the weather has been really bad and they had to air drop supplies to one of the companies because the helicopters couldn't get off the ground.

"The biggest challenge with the weather is getting resupplies into the men. Air drops by fixed wing (C130 aircraft) went in last
week to Charlie due to the fact the helicopters couldn't get off the ground. The Air Force missed the Point on the ground when
they
dropped the supplies and Charlie had to requisition local support to help retrieve the supplies that dropped up in he mountains
some 3 KMs away. No one has fallen ill from not eating, but I have to say, they have come back much skinnier than they went out."
