Supporting the Troops...

[_Mr. Coffee]

I'm putting together a list of items that soldiers based overseas can use and a list of addresses for sol;diers than could use mail.

If you want in on this, PM me.


Don't jus slap a damned sticker oin your ride saying you support our troops, show that you do. These men and women need your support. “F” it if you think they are serving a false cause. They deserve your support and your help. Thewy need to knoiw that they have someone back home that supports them even if you don't supporrt why thewy are fighting.

I'll post more information for what you can do and how you can help shortly. If yo8u want to write a serviceman then PM me.


That is all.

For Marines, and by no means is this list complete...

Marines:

This is by no means complete, and it is subject, to a certain degree, to the tastes/needs of individual Teufelhunden, but it is a good starter list of things that experience has shown you will need if/when we go back to tear a bigger chunk out of Haji’s ass. If you can’t carry it all on the way over, make arrangements to have certain items sent to you. Be sure to check out vendors that deliver to FPO/APO addresses, as that is what we’ll have.

Bear in mind that the usual deployment baggage allowance for us is two (2) sea bags, one (1) pack, and one (1) carry-on sized bag. The other branches allow the Tuff-Boxes and crap like that, but not the Corps. If you can't fit your laptop and PS2, then you leave it behind, make room for it somehow, or try to blowjob your way into a lat-move to the Air Force!
