MM deployed care packages


This was brought up in another thread, and figured I'd make a post about it. There are several of our fellow mm members that are deployed protecting our country. If anyone is interested, I'd like to start up a donation to send them some goodies for the holidays. The donations could be anything from a gag gift to important things like toothpaste.

If this does gain interest, I will post my contact info. What I am thinking, is to have those interested mail me their donations, snap a few pictures of all the donations, then I will box it all up and mail it the deployed service members.

Those that are deployed, and wish to receive a package, please PM me your name and APO.

If you are interested in participating, please send your packages/paypal no later than 20 December, 2009...I know it won't make it to the deployed members on christmas day, but this gives everyone some time to donate...I really should have started this thread in the begining of November.

To give background, 3.8Coastie started the idea of this event, he deserves the credit for starting this. As for who I am, I am a Technical Sergeant (E-6) assinged to Headquarters Air Force Flight Standards Agency, Oklahoma City, Ok. I have been in the active duty Air Force for 11 years, and love what I do. I have been deployed a few times, and know how great it feels to get a care package. It is amazing how the simplest things can really raise your morale!

Brandon, 3.8Coastie is also helping with this thread. He has been in the Coast Guard for almost 5 years, his current rank is a Operations Specialist Second Class (E-5). Recently he was recognized as the Joint Service Member of the Quarter for Joint Inter-Agency Task Force South (JIATF-S)...for those that do not know the program, he was selected as the best troop between a joint operations of both Department of Defense and Homeland Security Quarterly review.

Hope this takes off!
Bob

Edit:
IF YOU WANT TO MAIL A PACKAGE, HERE IS MY INFO

CLOSED

SOME IDEAS OF THINGS TO SEND (but not limited to)...

Coffee
Beef Jerky
Candy
Non-perishable foods (keep in mind, most don't have microwaves and will take a few weeks to get there)
Magazines
CD's
Letters
Toothpaste
Deodorant
Shampoo
Soap
Games
Batteries (especially AA)
Tobacco products (not wacky tabacky lol)
Gag gifts
Flashlights
Movies
Toys
Books
Chapstick
Razors
Lotion
Energy drinks
Silly string (actually quite useful, not just a gag toy)
Hot sauce
Baby wipes
Nail clippers
550 cord (or similiar kind of rope)
Fly swatter
Matches
Calling cards
Q-tips
Energy bars (i.e. cliff bars, powerbars etc...)
Cup-o-noodles...lets face it, the chow hall gets old, and sometimes don't even have time to make it there.

I'll post more ideas as I, and others think of them.

WHAT NOT TO SEND

All of the below items will NOT be sent, and mailed back to sender....receiving service member can get in serious trouble for receiving below items

Pornographic material (adult toys, magazines, movies, etc)...scantily clad is ok, but nothing at all naked.
Alcohol
Weapons (to include weapon accesories)

FOR THOSE THAT WOULD RATHER DONATE CASH TO GATHER SUPPLIES

Intent of paypal is to gather cash to help build up the care packages, we will use the money to purchase items for the care packages. If you want donate, but don't want to go shopping for it, just paypal the price of the item and we will go shopping for it (within reason, and availability).

PLEASE CONTACT BRANDON, 3.8COASTIE

CLOSED

DEPLOYED MM SERVICE MEMBERS:
Mattman
Molitor
Seabee (yeah he is in a sweet spot, but still away from family for the holidays)
Beefmobile
Carnage

SITE SPONSORS/VENDORS
Most of these deployed locations have anywhere from 3,000 to over 25,000 deployed service members...stickers, calenders, etc... would be an excellent way to get your name out more people! If you want something in legal writing (I.E. notorized and mailed to your company) to ensure that I will mail these out, please let me know.

DONATIONS RECEIVED SO FAR

Mailed: Will update once the packages start rolling in.
Donations from Rico-Mofos



Donations from Cale2006


American Muscle is sending something...don't want to say what, but I think the deployed memembers are going to like it!!! Its sort of car related, but not really...

OUR GOAL IS TO HIT $700: WE MET OUR GOAL!!!! Between the paypal donations and the donations received we have raised well over $700!!! Thank you all very much for participating!!

I can not say thank you enough to all that have donated!!!

Those that have donated:

No no, save it for the guys in the desert. I got mine last year when i was there. I mean i may be deployed, but its the bahamas lol. I appreicate the offer tho. And appreciate what youre doing for the guys who are deployed.

An idea, maybe it coud become a bi yearly thing or somethin like that. 6 months from now we could do another?

Yeah you are in a sweet spot for a deployment, but you still are away from your family for the holidays.

If this takes off well, then yes, I'd say we should do it bi-annually...I won't be able to head up the next one though, I'll be deployed to UAE.
