HUNTER'S ADDRESS IN IRAQ
Hunter arrived in Baharia safely last week. His daily job while not on missions is the responsibility of keeping 3 HUMVEE and 3 MRAP vehicles operational and maintained properly. He shares this duty with one of his friends from Camp Lejeune.
Hunter has access to a satellite phone, and can purchase 180 minutes on calling cards for about $20 or so. So, he has already been able to call me a few times. I asked that he remain in close contact via phone, email or Facebook posts so we don't worry. He said he would try to make contact a few times a week.
To date he has been on one mission, and provided security for a team that was doing some civil affairs work there in Baharia. The team's interpreter is a native of Baghdad and rides in Hunter's vehicle along with his co-driver and gunner.
Hunter would love to receive letters or care packages. The size of box sent should be about a shoe box size. You can send up to a 12"x12"x12" size, but they frown on much larger than that. It takes about 1 week for packages to be delivered.
His address is as follows:
LCPL Gilkenson, Hunter R.
2/10 DET 3 TEAM 1
Unit 73349
FPO AE09509-3349
