[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4606105, member: 19675"] I started donating because my Dad was an Army MD remobilized and stationed in Germany during Desert Storm, and even in a long-established base, he had trouble finding english language entertainment. Because of that, I knew that if you're a serviceman in a new-ish or temporary base, you'd have to be going nuts. This was confirmed when a cousin and a friend's son were both sent to the Middle East and my Dad's secretary's hubby was sent to the Balkans. (All OK, BTW.) So I started with anthologies and (non-series) novels, then worked my way up to gaming material. Thanks to all those who serve! (I kid you not- this thread puts tears in my eyes.) Here's another idea: [B] If you are a gamer on active duty, find out if there is someplace in your area we can send things to directly- or if there is a specific address the USO wants us to use- and post that address in this thread![/B] You might have better luck than someone asking from outside the system. And if there are particular things you can (or can't) use, let us know! [/QUOTE]
