My marine is the first military guy I dated in my whole life. Although I have family that were in the service, I had never before experienced (felt) the separation anxiety of deployment and fear of possibly loss that comes from loving someone who has gone to combat. I was inexperienced in sending mail, let alone a care package.
My marine gave me his parents address beforehand. After three months of his deployment, I hadnt received word from him of his APO address. I took a chance in sending a package to his mom at the address he gave me. I also supplied a note for her to please prepare the care package since I did not know how to wrap; a bottle of Jameson, a magazine, chocolates and a letter.
I had never bough 'magazines' before so I trecked to Barnes and Noble bookstore. I scoured the stands to find the smuttiest, naughtiest magazines I could. I was looking for playboy, hustler or something of that nature. What I found was that they did not sell those magazines. I settled on some type of FMS, MAXIM or something like that, I don't remember the name. What I remembered was there were many black sexy women in the magazine. Timidly, I made my purchase, wrapped them in a black plastic bag ( couldn't let his mom see them, right?) and I sent them within the box of goodies to my Marines mom's house.
Finally I heard from my marine. He emailed me his address, then asked that I not send anything to his home address. Then, when I asked him what I should send him in his next care package he responded " porno magazines... lots of them ( later I found it was for him AND his guys.. come on he's not that much of a fanatic, lol) and a disclaimer " don't send black chicks... or fat chicks with floppy boobs".
On my next mission, I went to the treasure chest in Hollywood. I thought that I was sure to find what he needed from there. Although getting him some smutty magazines and liquor wore against my own Faith, I reconciled my purchasing decisions on the fact that my marine is out there risking life and limb.. he deserves a little fun and alcohol. While at this specialty store I found so many amazing things like candied boob rings, naughty playing cards, and yes... can you believe it? a nude magazine of FAT CHICKS WITH FLOPPY BOOPS! It was hilarious! I couldn't resist getting this for him. I sent him some regular ones too.
To this date, I never really heard the story of what happened when he opened this care package. It must have been hilarious.
He called me one day from a satellite phone. Oh gosh! I was on air when he called. He said he received the package and that it made it day. I asked him if he shared the items with his marines and he said, "negative". I asked him if he played cards with them. He said " No... they don't want to play with me, I don't need to share them". (Hehehehe). I love my guy!!!
