Cash ain't a good one unless you are donating it to the USO or something.

Items to send are porn, alcohol, tobacco products and hygiene items,....in that order:D

Suddenly we've seen a bunch of people coming up to give support to the military, which is fantastic.

Unfortunately, many of these are scam artists looking to make a buck off the war :flipoff2: Send your check to me and I'll send it off to needy military families, yea right....

I have no knowledge of "allusee", but I wouldn't send anything to unknown even if it's for a good cause. There are many established military aid associations already in place if you'd like to make a contribution.

I have to laugh at you NEPS... I am not asking for a donation for MYSELF.. I have a damn good job and a degree.... But that doesn't fawking matter... It's just a career.... Don't need hand outs... Get real...

As far a sending $$ to me, I said helping me organize something, and if you were interested, you could send $$ or items... to PM me... So.. PLEASE don't put words in my mouth...

And excuse me for WANTING to help...

And if you have no knowledge of me, then do a search... I am Rudzuks g/f... Does that help??????? Sevral people know me here... Just because I don't have a RED STAR, or thousands of post, is no reason to make it seem like I am SCAMMING PEOPLE...

And yes, I am a little ticked off by your comments... but do me a favor and keep them to yourself...

ALso, if someone were wanting to send cash, the check would be made out to the marine mom's organization (MOM) not to me personally so that items could be purchased and sent over there...... (oh wait) do another search for that too... Guess thats my fault for not spelling it out... Sorry...

It's okay to be skeptical, because I am too with things... But don't turn crap around to make ME look like some loooooser that is trying to scam people out of money... FAWWWKKKKKK!!!

I am sorry if I have offended anyone,

And I agree with the porn, tobacco, etc...

Which part of the above did you miss :confused:

I really don't care who's G/F you are, since when did that give anyone credibility? If you intended to send donations to MOM, then you should have said so....

There are many ESTABLISHED military aid organizations already out there and you helping them... would better serve the military

They are in need of many things...

This is where you are incorrect, the DOD has asked people NOT to send unsolicited gifts to anyone in the military. I'd quote the exact message but I don't have access to message traffic at home. As it is the FPO APO mail services can't keep up with the letters and packages coming from family members, let alone all the "individuals" helping. Imagine your mail delivery person trying to deliver by following the troops, the mail has to follow the troops and any added mail only slows the process.

I realize that you intentions are good, but it's not so with everyone. I guess the fact that the DOD has asked people not to do "this kind of thing" should be enough for you, but I guess I'm wrong.

Allow the military mail service to do its job and get the important (family) mail to the troops. If you really want to help, help an existing military aid organization, don't try to start your own campaign.
