My brother is in my BP. He is in the army & currently stationed in Iraq. He was home for a few weeks for leave and while he was here I made sure to have him measured for his tux since he will not be back to the States until March or April of next year. I had posted a while back about the issues I had with Men's Warehouse trying to get his measurements. The girl insisted on giving them to me so they wouldn't get lost. Well guess what? I CAN'T FIND THEM! I thought they were in my pocketbook, I noticed last night they weren't. I searched the house, not there and just finished searching my desk, not here either! Do you think they have a tailor in Baghdad that could measure him. Just needed to freak out a little. FH keeps telling me not to worry.........

Re: I'm Panicking!
There is always a chance you will find it in the last place you'd ever think to look!! I tend to start backwards nowadays..as i always do that! It'll be in the last place i'll think of looking...so now i start there.
There is also always a chance someone can measure him there - i'm sure people need new uniforms when they are there...it'll be okay!!!

I hope they trun up. I love him to death, but he is a little irresponsable and won't be back to NY until as late as the night before the wedding. As for asking him, I am afraid he would add inches. He likes to think he is bigger than he actually is. I tease him all the time about his Myspace profile saying he is 6' when he is only like 5' 9'. I know it's not a huge thing yet, I'm just nervous they won't turn up.

Re: I'm Panicking!
I am just going to say it as it is- NO ONE is going to measure your brother over in Iraq. Unfortunately they do not get measured for uniforms like we think they do. And if they need new uniforms they pretty much wait until they come home to get new ones...well atleast in the Marine Corps thats how it is...so unfortunately he probably wont be able to get measured. Unless you send him a package of goodies!! And add a measuring tape in there as well and write him a letter explaining how you lost them and to make sure he measures himself and sents the measurements back to you sometime in the near future! that way he is measured and not just quessing his size!!!'
hope it works out for you!!

I was kinda kidding about the Baghdad thing. It's been an ongoing joke since I took him to Men's Warehouse and they all but refused to measure him cause I had plenty of time. lol. I hope they turn up somewhere as I would be afraid that when he comes back he will be too busy jumping out of airplanes and drinking to care about getting himself to a tailor to get measured. If they don't I think I will take your advice and enclose a measuring tape in his next care package. Hopefully he will find it funny, considering the big deal I made of getting him measured while he was home.
