WOW! This thread and the action of the Badweb/Buell community is fantastic! As a 20yr USAF MSgt I've seen all kinds of treatment, good and bad, towards us military types but nothing like this. Grass-roots stuff is fantastic and always unexpected but greatly appreciated! To all of you who are or will be deployed, if you know that you will be passing through Aviano AB, Italy let me know. We get a lot of the rotater flights through here and I'd gladly walk across the street to the building where you guys are kept for a couple of hours to say "HI". I'm our squadrons deployment manager and can get access to the restricted holding area for pax to/from the AOR(s). To my brothers in arms, take care! To everyone else back home supporting us, Thanks!

Brian, Be on the lookout or 3 packages from the upper midwest! I really hope the stuff in the middle of the big box makes it there in tact. If not, I'll figure out something else and try again... This is just the first salvo. More cool stuff to follow! Brad | ||

Hardcorps, When your at Buehring, take a peer at the 56th Brigade wall painting, it's an outline of the state of PA with our unit crest. If you are exiting the T walls at the PX, hook a left on the main road, its down just a short way on the left. On the bottom left side is DKM(DropKick Murphys), and on the bottom left I had put a little oval Buell sticker. Wonder if it's still there. | ||
| Prior |
There are a bunch more DKM stickers headed your way... | ||
| Daves |
any of you guys into hunting? I could send some mags and DVDs for you? Let me know | ||

Hey do you guys have way to access memory sticks. And is there any problems sending one? I have some video's of some rides, car shows, and some from my classroom kids. Thought would be something to take your imagination away and put it on something of back home! Lemme know. | ||
| Patrick2cents |
Hey, if you want it, my shirt size is a L. Thanks again for all of the support! | ||
| Thesmaz |
Memory stick are a no go for us Air Force types but a DVD would be good to send the guys. They outlawed the mem sick several months back. | ||
| Stingaroo |
We can recieve memory sticks here, we just have to use private computers. Thats how my wife and I have been sharing pictures, letter etc, just shipping the same geek stick accross the Atlantic a few times. Dave, yes most the PA boys here hunt pretty much everything. Any mags or DVDs would be sweet. | ||

BUMP - FOLKS SEEM TO BE LOOSING THE MILITARY THREAD. HERE IT IS. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
aw man it went in to the archives | ||
| Squidbuzz |
What about baked items? Those ok to send to you? | ||
| Court |
For what it's worth . . . the last package I sent Iraq arrived in 2 days . . . I sent an amp head to California and it still hasn't arrived 10 days later! Baked goods may still be warm when they get there! | ||
| Thesmaz |
Court, Your last package got really lucky, which happens sometime when it hits the outgoing plane headed this direction just right. You do have another advantage, the Military Mail aggregation point is in New Jersey. | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
aw man it went in to the archives Donald, I pulled it back out; this thread is too important to let fade away. To anyone presently serving, and to all veterans, thank you for your service. FB&D | ||

One thing for folks sending packages. You can add BABY WIPES to the list. I spoke with a recruiter the other day and he told me these were really good for our guys, I confirmed this with Stingaroo as well. Having a 16 month old running around, there's no shortage of wipes in this house.  | ||
| Kenney83 |
Court How many people do you have on your end sending us stuff. I can have some flags flown on a C-130 for you. If any one else wants a flag or some thing flown over Afghanistan send it my way and I will see what I can do. I can even get you a little certificate to go with it. Thanks Steve | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Steve, That is seriously cool. I have a flag that flew over the USS Arizona Memorial, I'll have to seriously consider this option. Brad BTW, I really hope the packages get there tat fast. I'm not sure how long stuff will stay frozen...... however, the shelf life after thaw should be at least 4 days or so.... Hmmm. | ||
| Ulywife |
To go along with the baby wipes, our last set of deployed BadWebbers asked for sunscreen and lip balm...is that a need for you all as well? If so, let us know and we'll add it to the list up top. Stay safe! | ||
| Court |
Don: (Firebolt020283 ) Your package will leave tomorrow. I ran out of the flavored drink mix and didn't have the Gold Bond foot powder. Headed out to shop today, let me know if there is anything else you need in there. By the way . . . your special surprise from the Buell's will be in your pack as well. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
kenny I can get some flags taken up over here too. | ||
| Kenney83 |
no prob just send them my way and i will put them on a plane. we do it all the time here. i did it for my parents and in-laws when I was in Iraq. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
I got it done last week for my grand father (he was airforce) so I was saying I can help out by getting some done over here as well. | ||
| Patrick2cents |
Court, thank you for the package! haven't gotten it yet but i'm sure it is awesome! I'll definitely be looking for it at mail call! | ||
| Kenney83 |
Court just got your package thanks for the poster and the reading material. greatly appretiated. kenney | ||
| Firebolt020283 |

| Daves |
Brian, Hunting mags on the way today! Hope you enjoy | ||
| Kenney83 |
One of my favorite quotes in the book so far is from Cycle World "Corner Killer-A hot rod Harley that's not afraid of Ninjas". that is just awesome!!!! | ||

Having never sent an item to a military address is there anything special I should know? Post office only, or can I use UPS? Forbidden items? Items frowned upon? |
