Whoot Yeah This Is For Our Soldiers!

in Trades, Passes and Bombs
I know we have done this several times over the years and even recently. I am throwing together 2 troop packages and I need to enlist your help. We need to remember the soldiers who are doing their jobs and are away from home but not necessarily in a war zone. I remember being in Korea and Panama and wishing for contact or something from back home. Too many times I saw the golden boys or officers intercepting all the goodies sent over and it never trickled down to the hard working enlisted peon soldiers. Well I have something set up for 2 different locations in the world and the packages will be distributed fairly.

Please let me know if you can donate anything. Cigars, cutters, ashtray, lighter, small humidor or whatever. If you want please add a personal note. Anything would be appreciated even 2 or 3 sticks. I will take names for the next 7 days and then we will coordinate the packages. Please post here and PM me if you are willing to step up once again. I will collect the packages the week after and launch right away. I will be asking for some photos to be sent back to us so we can see what kind of impact our kindness has.

Thanks guys!

    Thanks guys. Accepting anything and everything. I am putting in a couple cutters and 20 to 40 cigars myself. I have some guys on another forum helping us out as well. One package is going to the Navy guys near Japan and they are heading out to sea for a long time so I figured prime opportunity. The other is going to somewhere in Europe.

    I will also post up picks of the packages we put together before they ship so you guys can see the ammunition.

    This is going to be fun. I sent everyone who responded a PM with a little more info. If you didn't get a PM let me know. For some reason my Inbox shows me always sending messages to myself so I have no idea if they went through or not.

    Jake, I'll get something out to you, just let me know when. I am pretty sure I still have something left to donate. Don't tell DSWarmack, but I just sent him a huge package via Brian (sirfoster) to include in the contest package he's sending out. I'll send you a PM.

    I might extend my launch date by a week to get more guys on board and give you more time. Any donation no matter how small will be much appreciated. I was shooting for 03/18 but may go around 03/25 just to give everyone some time.

    Damn, your code breaker is fast, I thought no one was going to understand that encrypted message, LOL. I got 2 5ct Herf-a-Dors in the package, 1 for you and another for you to use as you see fit for the DCCC.

    Thats rediculous. Well appreciated, but rediculous. Hopefully I will be let loose on the town soon so I can go find some uniqe items to send back. Unless you want sand, that we have in excess. Really though, if anyone think of anything they want from over here let me know and itll be on the way ASAP. Im looking for some decent ISOMs.

    Things are coming together nicely. I will post pics of the packages before they launch. If you are thinking about this please join in. You don't have to send a ton of sticks. I have one guy sending just 3 sticks and another is sending used cutters that are in perfect shape. I am also throwing in some cigar magazines. Going to make some cigar smoking soldiers day for sure!

    I figured the easiest way to do this would be for me to order from ccom and have its shipped to you, so... that’s what I did. Make a note to them: These are to give to the guys starting out, or the ones that just want to smoke a cigar. This way they don’t give some guy who really could care less about a good smoke, just that. That is a huge issue here and I want to mitigate that for other soldiers of the leaf!

    I will drop a few notes in for sure. I know one package will have experienced BOTL there and will be distributed properly for sure.

    Started receiving packages today. If you want in on this it isn't too late. I will be collecting until next Friday. Once I have everything I will post a pic of the devices as I pack them up. I hope we might get some pics back in the next couple weeks after they get them.

    Heads up, Jsnake. Heavy R&R Ordnance inbound. Questionable humidification containment in transit so make sure to recalibrate on intercept. Over and out.

    haha I will recalibrate all humidification upon arrival.
