A little about Team New Kabul Compound Base Support Group, AKA Black Adders
This month's recipient was nominated by Kathie Sewell Leckey, Eric's mother. Thank you, Kathie, for allowing us this opportunity to support Eric and his Battle Buddies!
Eric writes, "I have been serving in the Oregon Army National Guard for 22 years and I am currently a Master Sergeant. In that time I have been deployed for one peacekeeping tour in Egypt, one Homeland Defense mission protecting a Chemical depot, one Tour in Iraq, and my current tour in Afghanistan.
I have been married to my wonderful wife for over 20 years and we have two sons, the oldest is a Sophomore in College and the youngest is a Junior in High School."

Eric shares, "I am currently the New Kabul Compound Base Support Operations NCOIC. My team runs a base here in Afghanistan and we provide for the Life Support (Food, Water, Waste, Fuel etc), Health Support, Safety support and Morale, and Welfare and Recreation activities. Overall we support hundreds of Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, Marines and Civilians from 12 different countries living and working on our base. We also provide work and business opportunities for hundreds of Afghan Local Nationals that work here."

Special Requests
Eric has shared a wonderful wish-list of items his Brigade can use. Our Angels love wish-lists and will do their best to provide for Eric and his Battle Buddies!
-
Homemade goodies are always loved (Peanut Butter Cookies and real rice crispy treats) do not go to waste around here.
-
Craft supplies- We have a few Soldiers that like to Knit, cross-stitch, and do other craft stuff (to include drawing and painting), it helps take away the stress.
-
Games- Dominos, cribbage, Poker and Cards Against Humanity are the games that we play most often around here.
-
Warmth items- Kabul has similar weather to Denver, CO, so we are expecting it to get very cold here soon, fleece or wool blankets, wool hiking socks and other warmth items would be appreciated.
-
Cards, letters and pictures are always appreciated.
