Question

[jw25558]

I own a company that ships quite a bit of tools to Military individuals with APO and FPO addresses. I'm going to start having a small care package sent with their order to show my appreciation of our troops. What would be some things that our soldiers would appreciate receiving most?

Food, supplements, decks of cards, toiletry items, and phone cards.

Maybe you could hook up with a few supplement companys that have people on here and send like a bag or 2 of free sample supplements ... that would get the word out for their product quick...

I hear people at work sending their kids phone cards constantly...so that must be something they need regularly.

x2 on the toiletry things, i hear baby powder and baby whipes are GREATLY appreciated over there

This gives me some good ideas. Maybe even hand sanitizer would come in handy due to the environments they are in.

besides toiletries. try energy drinks. anything that'll give an extra boost is what I was told by my buddy when he was over there. that, and the whiskey in the mouthwash bottle trick helped


also- apparently cigarettes over there sucked and a case of marb lights went real quick

deployment in Fuj care package top 5 wishlist is as follows:


red bull
cookies/brownies (I hear both are =ally loved)
cheetos (dunno where this comes from)
phone cards
porn


I would like to get hooked up with supps, pics from girls, and the above... toiletries are nice, but can be obtained at FOBs

edit: I think unlikely to melt protein bars would rock... hardcore

silly string is apparently a good way to find trip wires. I'm not sure if it's supplied by the military or not, but it saved my friends life.

and if not, it'd be fun to play around with
