Hey Adopt a Sniper Dudes,

Still here in XXXXXXXX Afghanistan with a new area of operation in our near future. I have a few items I am still looking for.

Laser Range Finder (higher power and distance the better)
Heavy duty tripod
Drag bag

You guys sent me some of the Eberlestock bags which are great but an old school eagle would be great. I will hit the SGM up for a coin tomorrow and I can also send a bunch of cool pictures via email. I am getting the stuff together for a framed piece like XXXXXXXX sent you to include flag flown over camp etc. I will probably be back before I can get it for you though.

XXXXXXXX

Thanks for all you do,

SSG XXXXXXXX

Thanks for all you guys do

A quick response to update you on where we are. We are currently xxxxxxxxxxx. Our task force has a ton of AO and we bounce around from cop to cop running countersniper, msr overwatch, ect. I an senior sniper for our company and sister company and acting SEO. Any help would be a huge help, we can't even get any of our supply requests approved because were have been tasked out like bastard children to another division (XXXXXXXX) haven't seen a unit this stingy yet. They wont supply us but at least we are getting employed. Thanks for all the support and help. Hope to hear back from you. Our address is below.

Hello,

this is SSG XXXXXXXX from XXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXX Army National Guard. We are deploying to Iraq this spring and are having some supply issues. We have 2 XXXXXXX's, 2 XXXXXXXX's, and 2 XXXXXXX's, but no drag bags for any of them. We cant seem to get any scope caps for our XXXX's and XXXXX's. Our communications equipment is also a major problem. The radios we operate with only come with hand mics that don't exactly help staying quiet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

SSG XXXXXX, XXXXXXXX
