2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Support-the-troops information

Reminder: December 6th is the last day for mailing packages via Priority Mail that is expected to reach Iraq by Christmas Day.

The U.S. Postal Service is offering a package of free packing materials to support the troops, including 10 boxes, 10 customs forms, 10 specialized "Mili-Pac" shipping envelopes, and a roll of priority mail tape. To order, call (800) 610-8734 and request "Care Kit 4". Normal postage costs will still apply.

AT&T and AAFES have teamed up to provide reduced rate calling cards for the holiday season (from Nov. 24 through Jan. 5) for troops that use the AT&T 550-Unit Military Exchange Global Prepaid phone card. A standard $39 card will get 44 extra phone minutes, for a total of 185 minutes, an average of 21 cents per minute. Cards can be purchased here.
