Care packages for NS members actively on deployment

Thoughts? I figure between all of us we can easily rally and put together a solid 15-20 packages to be shipped out to enlisted Newschoolers members on tour.

What do you guys think? I have a ton of my own personal stuff I'd throw in, along with a bunch of NS schwag and items from our partners & advertisers. Ideally we could also rally a few cash donations to help pay for the shipping of everything.

If there's enough support I'll get the ball rolling this week!

This, to the people who voted no you're an ignorant piece of shit. I'm all for this especially as someone who is planning on enlisting in the military.

How is someone ignorant for saying they do not want to donate? You know it is possible for someone to be tight on cash and not be able to donate. Also who are you to get mad at someone for not wanting to give up what they have earned?

Are we talking candy/food, clothing, playboys, or what? I don't know exactly what would be good to pitch in so we should probably start coming up with ideas.

What? How is it ignorant to say you don't want to send gifts or money to the troops? Many people don't support the mission which the troops are on and many people already feel they support them more than enough through their taxes. Perfectly legit reasons for not wanting to donate.

It isn't about supporting a mission or war or country -- it's about supporting your fellow skier and NS member.

There's also absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to donate.

how much is shipping, like will you be asking us to donate to a fund for shipping, or are you asking us to pay the cost to ship one package?

Whatever you can! 200 donations of 1$ is the same as one for $200.

I would absolutely be down for this is I wasn’t dead broke, wish I was still working full time just for this kind of shit. Just curious moose, not that it would matter the slightest bit, but is this gonna be more geared towards the Canadian or American military?
