I've been here two weeks now, they sell oreos, cookies, flavor drink powders, magazines, and such at the px, so the only thing they don't sell are home made cookies here....

Cut your hair! It will grow back. You have little time for grooming as I have been told by my son who is in Afghanistan. Use moisturizer if you have it and don't ware makeup other that the stuff with sunscreen in it. Use lots of lip balm, not lipstick it will smear and run in the heat. Thanks for your service. Blessed be...~M~

Sounds as though you are attempting to make a BUZZ that has to do with nothing concerning you. The other poster is right, get back to your twittering. Too bad your parents didn't enroll you in summer school. You sound bored. Good day girl. It's funny too that you mention air conditioners. Condition the air why dontcha'. LMAO

they give you aloe O.o
not the best choice, i learned right at the start of basic first aid that aloe can easily progress sun burns to another degree
thats stuffs horrible for it, it pretty much just cooks you

If you are there, the other soldiers would tell you what to ask for. Lots of lotion, flavor packets for water (you drink a lot of liquid), sunblock, aloe lotion for sunburn, scarves to dip in water and wear on your head, vaseline.

"I'm a troop overseas in the desert" - LOL!

Yeah, I've played the Call of Duty games too. Stop fantasising and get back to facebook or whatever.
