My post needs to come up with a few new ideas in what to ship overseas to our troops. Right now we have a ton of soap, toothpaste and other items that are really not usable.Way too much of the stuff. Most of which went to the American Legion for their drive to other military members that they have on file. We have all the foodstuffs and snacks that we can ship legally, most are gone by now, but I would like some fresh ideas.
We have a group of women from the surrounding towns donating woman things and such that will go to our female list of troops currently stationed.
Please note, we are unable to send discharges, booze and hot blonds, the USPS frowns on it, and they tend to arrive a little spoiled. The boozr is gone the blonds spoiled.
I figured with the expertise of this crew here, and knowing you for so many years, I just might get a plausable, decent idea. But then, maybe not.
This should be really interesting.
Thanks

Here's a couple--

Silly string (for tripwires)
Medical gloves (for searching people and sticking your hands in nasty places)
Tobacco products (if that's allowed)
Elbow and knee pads (preferably the inserts for the uniforms)

That's a nice set, I don't know if they would ship tobacco products and cans with propellant are illegal. I wounder is I can get them shipped special though. Thanks patoloco

Your signature reminded me of something...when I couldn't get tobacco, I drank the crap out of instant coffee (and we used to put a shot of cognac in it-- got that from the Italians, came in their MRE's!). Howabout that?
