A Solider's Request for Assistance

While the U.S. Army has surprised me in its generosity issuing us many fine and useful items for our upcoming deployment to Iraq, there are still a few things that will make my trip there as an Infantry soldier safer and more productive to our cause.

This site is where I post links to and lists of things I need, if you feel so inclined to send them my way.

The best way to quickly and easily lend a hand is to visit my Amazon Wish List, where you can choose an item and have it sent directly to me. Or feel free to contact me: globalcop at gmail dot com.

My main blog is here.

Sincerely,
Private First Class Edward McNamara
A Co. 1-18 Infantry Combined Arms Battalion
2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division

Helmet Light



Included on my Amazon wish list (link on right)

From the website:

HL1-A-TN This compact, multiple-output Helmet Light in tan features three white LEDs, two blue LEDs, and one blinking red infrared LED that serves as a personal Identify Friend or Foe beacon. The white LEDs are perfect for general-purpose, close-work illumination; the blue lights serve the same purpose in a low-signature, night-vision-friendly color.

It attaches via a special mount that clamps semi-permanently to the rim of the helmet by means of two socket-head machine screws. Once attached, the light can be easily slid onto the mount, where it locks into place; depressing a small lever slides it right off.
