Chile miners: Familys diary

At the last meeting, we saw a video of our relatives receiving their first hot meal. Before that, they were eating only liquids and baby food. Now they are being sent chicken, steak, ham sandwiches, jam and fruits.

My dads favourite food is steak with avocado - he eats it with lots of avocado. But he hasnt been sent anything like that because the food sent has to first be studied by a nutritionist.

But Salloum said that is not accurate and such equipment is available to soldiers. He said the task force in Afghanistan received night-vision equipment in June and has more than the authorized amount of such gear. When night-vision equipment is broken or otherwise unserviceable, it is returned through the army supply system for repair and overhaul, or replacement, Salloum said.

This summer, two Canadian teams deployed outside the wire have been living mostly on individual meal packs, said Maj. Andre Salloum, a spokesman for the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command in Ottawa. One group has moved to a new location where the soldiers have access to a U. S. army dining facility where they get three meals a day. The other group receives a shipment of fresh food every five days.
