When my Navy son was on his last ship, he asked me to send either goodies that he could stuff in his mouth and eat quickly, OR enough for all his buddies. Said that when he got a large package from home, he would go back to his bunk and on the way see his friends on either side of him and following him all the way!!!! Lots and lots was his wish!!
And when my brother was in Vietnam, we hunted all over till we found tropical chocolates...otherwise he said he could open the package and pour it into a glass!!! He missed his hard chocolates!!!
