Ok so I have seen a ton of threads (have even started one) about troops over seas and care packages. So I thought I would start this thread for a more personal company to user interface. Here is my plan.
1. Companies list on here if they are interested in sending products to soldiers, no matter what branch we all need to get big.
2. Soldiers can list thier own personal contact info while deployed or state side as a unit or group representative. Number of people in group (try not to make it to many) sizes (shirt), and duration of deployment and situation.
3. Once to product arrives, the soldier takes pictures of the product being handed out, or used, worn, ect. and send them back to the company.
4. Along with the pictures soldier can do a product view/journal or gains, pluses or negs of the product so that soldiers that are deployed can better pick what will work in the desert, body armor, deployement setting.
The soldiers win cause they get some suppliments for free, and they get to try new things, and generate info on products for future soldiers to purchas. The companies win cause they get pictures of for there website also the soldiers can do group reviews on the products producing more feed back for the products.
Now I realize that companies can send 3000 packages, so if they limit it to like 3-4 groups, and then list in there post (edit feature) whom they have sent packages to so other companies can send to diffrent people, we can get a wealth of knowledge and support for those that put there lives on hold for 12mon-15mon at a time. A little thank you from both sides.
So lets see where it goes. Thanks in advance to all of you companies and soldier for all you already do. And soldiers dont beg for packages just list your info let the companies come to you.
NOTE: also if you are someone who just wants to send stuff you can use this thread as well.

Not really looking for hand outs, i just thought it would be a good way to get companies and troops together, heck even work a group discount or something. I just know that alot of companies would be interested in sending something even if its shirts, hats, even jsut a package of jerky, tuna, and the like. They just might not know how, and though there are groups out there that they can send stuff to and it will get to some soldier, this way they know who its going to, its a more personal connectiong. Pluse it give the troops a little lift in thier day to see someone not only took the time but money from thier own pocket to say thanks for what you are doing. If you have never been deployed you can graps what its like to be here 3-4 months with no mail and then get something from someone that doesnt even know you saying thanks for your sacrifice.
Its not always easy to get all the stuff you want or need over here, plus you might get something you never thouht to try and find out it works great."As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest motherf*cker in the valley"

I know muscular development has something set up in their magazine. Most of the companies on the forums are very generous, but they are also smaller. So take that into consideration.
Realize that anyone with an affiliation to a supplement company in their signature has ulterior motives when making recommendations. They're primarily concerned with pushing their products. Not your safety or what's best for you.

im aware most of the companies are small jsut thought if they were interested they could post here get thier name and product out there into some hands that will use it every day while deployed cause honestly we have NOTHING better to do over here.
