Planet members and their kids serving in Iraq and Afghanistan need our support.

I know of one member of Chiefs Planet getting ready to go to Afghaniastan. I know
another that has a son getting ready to deploy. Another that has a son already there. I propose that we raise money and ship some "goddies" over to the units where Chiefs Planet members or their kids are serving our country. To let them know they are not alone, that some of us back here in the USA appreciate their sacrifice and service.

I will personally pay all the shipping costs and coordinate the project.

I will pay all the paypal fees of the members who donate. If you donate $20 to buy goodies for the troops, $20 goes to the troops.

If you want to send a check, or some goodies yourself, donated items, PM me for a mailing address.

If you have a store that has items that would go in the care package and would sell those at cost and or donate, PM me.

100% of the money raised will go to purchase items for the troops. I will update this thread with the progress and post pictures of the "goodies" and items that will be shipped to the troops.

This is not a political thread or idea. The point is to support the Planet members or their kids on a personal level while they are voluntarily putting themselfs in harms way for us.

PM me for the paypal address. If you know of someone serving overseas, PM me and we will put them on the list to recieve a care package

Hey BRC,

A few days after my wife checked with her brother's wife about this package, he was injured in an IED attack and sent home for medical treatment. Today we learned that his driver and the guy who took his place were both killed by an IED. It's a tough job these guys have (both in terms of personal risk and also in terms of dealing with the loss of close friends).

Thanks again for all the support you facilitate!

In some of the worst times I've ever experienced, a small note or package surprising me made the difference between being depressed and feeling validated. Agree or not for the reasons we're there, coming together and supporting the troops with their boots on the ground is a profound statement, and it does not go un-noticed by the troops receiving the packages. Don't make fun of what I'm saying, never in my life has a simple gesture made me feel so good and happy to be an american. Keep donating if you feel inclined, it matters more than you know to the troops receiving it.

It's looking more and more like my girlfriend will get called for deployment. We are supposed to find out next week and she didn't go last time they were deployed. This isn't her unit but they have to pull people from other units to fill it. She's in the 205 Signal company.

The thing that pisses me off is some girl who does the same thing, will get the call but will get pregnant so she doesn't have to go. What a selfish move and I hope she gets caught.

If you need some help, I could get your girlfriend pregnant for you.

Funny...another option.

I do work on her and you pay for the child.

We'd love to have a child, we aren't ready for the financial responsibility and we aren't letting the government pay for it.

We have went through all the money that was orginally gave by the Planet for the packages. We need to decide if we want to continue doing this or not? What say you?

Same deal. I'll pay all the shipping costs, getting and packaging all the goodies. 100% of all the given money will go into the packages. I'll pay all the other costs out of my pocket.

As was with the first go around if you use paypal, I'll pay any fees to make sure 100% of the money goes into the boxes.
