Ben's Address in Afghanistan

Last night we had a FRG (Family Readiness Group) meeting about Ben's deployment. I know... so "Army Wives"-ish. They went over a lot of things that we didn't necessarily want to hear. I think the only thing that we got from that meeting that we really wanted was Ben's address in Afghanistan. If you want to send him some letters or care packages, here is the address.

1LT Benjamin Ingle
HHT. 1-40 CAV
Gardez, APOAE 09354

LT COl. Campbell said that if you want to send a package, the best size would be a shoe box size. If they get a large sized box, they'll put that on the plane last (or not at all for a while) so they can get the needed supplies on first. If they had a small sized box, it's more likely to make it on the plane. So if you want Ben to get something sooner rather than later, a shoe sized box is the way to go!

Deployment

This picture was taken just before the 1-40th Cav. Ball this Jan. 09
We just wanted to let ya'll know that Ben is scheduled for Deployment the 15th of Feburary. As soon as Lauren see's him off to Afghanistan, she'll be heading back to Ohio with her family, helping out with her grandpa. Please keep us in your prayers these next few weeks. Thanks for everything!!!
