This is a blatant solicitation for those that serve.

Captain Vic, I was wondering if you can help my shipmates and I out with something. Its not a big favor but would mean the world to us. For the last 2 days we have been out of toilet paper. Apparently it is on back order but is a pretty valuable thing right now. Our supply PO has been able to get a couple cases by doing “drug deals with the devil” but I know it will go fast. We have about 150 asses to wipe in my division alone.. lol is there any way maybe if its not to much that you could get some of the guys around the fire house to pitch a roll or two in and mail it to us here. if not its totally cool im asking all my family to do the same. This way we will be good for the rest of cruise. This isn’t the first time we have ran out and I know it wont be the last. Lol but something as simple as toilet paper makes a world of difference to a man. Lol just let me know what you think. It would be more appreciated than I can ever express. Thanks a lot. Your friend and brother Steve J
