So Isaac is finally at his place of duty.... it is called Taji. He say's what used to be a pretty busy place is now basically a ghost Camp. They still feed them meals though, and that makes me happy :) He had a chance to tell me a little about the job he will be doing and it happened to be around 1:30 in the morning when he was telling me, so I hope I get it all right :) I can't remember the exact name, but it is a lot like a ParaMedic. When people get "hurt" (I'm putting that in the nicest way possible), he and his guys go get them. I asked how busy he thought he would be, and he wasn't too sure. He said he can't get a straight answer, because everyones ideas of "busy" are different. He will be working 12 hour shifts.... 8pm to 8am. Hopefully getting some sleep in the day. I finally have an address for him......
SPC. Isaac McAlister
HHC 369 AR BN
Camp Taji
APO AE 09378
I know I listed things before, that can and can't be sent, but if you really would like to send a package, he is going to need snacks. With working the 12 hour shifts, he is not too sure if he will be allowed to eat. We talked again about things that he would like..... Sunflower seeds, Beef Jerky, any type of nuts, Trail Mix (with NO chocolate), and anything that would help provide energy that doesn't have to be cooked, and won't melt. Also, I know that he doesn't expect it, but would love to receive letters from everyone. So far, I have been his only source of our world. Sadly, I am not the best reporter :(
He has asked that I tell everyone that he Loves you and Thank you for all of your thoughts and Prayers!!

Heather, thank you for the update. I will send Isaac a package this week. Working the night shift is not always easy but I'm sure Isaac is used to it by now. Tell him I love him and he will hear from me soon. Love, Mom
