Will do, Thank you again for the support!  Haha that’s the plan!  We’re hoping to have the field all set up in about a week, I’ll shoot a few more photos over once we get a full game. Here’s a few more photos to share with the awesome team there.   ~~ -SMSgt Neil [    ]

Good morning; Just wanted to say thank you again, this has been an awesome morale boost, we’re still working on moving all the rocks in our “Field of dreams” so that people don’t get hurt but this has been the best set of care packages we’ve received!!!  Thank you again from men and women of our FOB and the 727 Expeditionary Air Control
Squadron/Detachment 9.  ~~ SMSgt Neil [    ]

Hey Neil, This is so awesome!!! Our team needed to hear this, and thank you for the great photos!  I’m sure your “field of dreams” will be great once all the rocks are moved-- if you build it they will  come haha.  Be sure to let us know if you guys need anything else!! This is too cool!  Spenser Lia, SOT

For gloves, slow pitch, maybe 2 13” and the rest 14” and 15”, no leftys; they said they’re having their shipped from home. For bats: maybe a 32”, 33” and 34” Not picky about weights  Thank you!!

Can do! Do you have any specific size preferences for bats, softballs, righty/lefty gloves, slow/fast  pitch? There are a lot options so want to be sure we’re sending you the right gear!  Spenser Lia, SOT

Oh, one small request as well, we went to have a volleyball tournament here last week and realized most of our volleyballs are in pretty rough shape; if you have any beach volleyballs that would be amazing as well!  Thank you for your support and all that this program does! ~~ SMSgt Neil [     ]

Hi Neil, Thank you for all you do!  How many gloves/balls/bats do you need, and what is your complete military mailing address?  Thank you, Spenser Lia, SOT

Good morning, I was wondering if you take donation requests for sports equipment, specifically softball gloves/balls/bats? Also looking for possible gift cards for MWR competitions that we do ourselves on our FOB. The sports equipment would stay here on base and be used by service members hopefully for years to come. Thank you for all that you do to support us!  ~~ SMSgt Neil [     ]
