I sent out some packages earlier this year. Here is a link to the thread about it. There were some good suggestions on what to send.

Also if you want to share one of those young men, I'll take one. (that sounded really strange.:S). I'd be happy to make a care package to send to them. Or if you have another name, PM me and I will make a care package. I'm actually getting pretty good at it.

Thanks for serving our country and helping the young people who are serving for us now!!


The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

i'd say, depending on their ages, magazines like FHM, Maxim, Stuff, etc are generally well received. they aren't quite playboy, but you don't get into the whole mess of sending porn. find one with a 2006 calendar, and i think you will have made some definite new friends. no one can resist lingerie/sexy calendars :D

take a look at this: http://www.anysoldier.com/WhatToSend.cfm they've got some lists of equipment, including tactical gear that you can get with discount to send.

just as a disclaimer, there is always the question of "are these people (website owners, etc etc) just trying to make money selling worthless carepackages to unsuspecting folks that just want to help the troops" or is the stuff actually useful. i can't vouch for anysoldier.com so i thought i would throw that out there. kind of like the whole "support our troops" magnets, that really mean you just support the guy in china making them and the co. in the US selling 'em.
