Help on shipping to Iraq

There is an active fencing practice at at least one base in Iraq, and they are looking for blades, fencing jackets and tabards.

Before I dive into this, can someone [Bad username or site: like soldiergrrrl @ livejournal.com] or tashabear tell me what we're looikng at for shipping costs, so I can build that in, too?

I'd like to get the questions answered before I do anything else.

On the road again

Feeling much better.

Yes, Ethiopian Yrgecheffe after nine hours of sleep.

Today looks like laundry, then a visit to Albany for book-storing and maybe stops at a few other highlights.

Who knows?

More later.

Fencing and fighting practice in Afghanistan

There is an active fighting and fencing practice going on at at least one base in Afghanistan

The organizer writes this:

 As for things to send, we need any rapier gear that you may have hanging around. It seems that is the most exciting fun for folks to watch and try. Simple tabards to go over the fencing jackets would add a nice touch.

Also, here is a link for other requested items, in case you were thinking about that.

Money for postage would also be great.

I will be collecting items at Northern Region War Camp on the weekend of Fourth of July.

If anyone who was over there wants to add to the list, please go right ahead.

OK, better

OK, the day got better.

After lying down, I sent out three teaching applications, including "The Job I AM Going To Get." It's local, I know someone on the selection committee who will likely get me to the interview stage, and it's not a place a lot of folks around here want to teach. Prayers and good thoughts, please?

I also had a Squall IPA from Dogfish Head's Rogue's Gallery.

For those of you that understand this, it's bottle conditioned, naturally fermented 90-Minute IPA.

Great stuff.

Best move exchange ever?
