Lucky balbowa,
THe military won't (for security purposes) allow that sort of thing anymore. What has to happen now is any packages need to be sent to someone (by name). I remember getting the packages addressed to "Any Soldier". That was cool. The problem is that anyone (i.e. terrorists or anti-military) could poison the goodies, or put a bomb or something like anthrax in a package. Best bet is to get a hold of someone in the military, and have them sent what ever it is to a deserving soldier, sailor or airman in the region.

I was in Qatar Jan - May. We got the to whoever packages. As a flying crew chief I can take a few care packages over myself. All I know is that I will go to Ramstein first, from there I don't know. I leave about the 7th. Marty has my mailing address if you have, say, some smoked salmon. Don't worry about customs.
PS Thanks for all your help for fishing and thanks for all your support.

Thanks for offering the service to us in the military. I heard about this site from a guy in Wal-mart today and decided to look it up. Glad I did as I am new to the area and wanted to take some time to cast a line when the chance comes up and to get my son involved. I hope to get him hooked. Thanks again

I see that this thread has kinda died a bit. If anyone knows somebody that is interested I live up here in Mt. Vernon so could maybe help out with people that are either stationed at Everett or Oak Harbor. I fish most weekends and would gladly take somebody out and I can provide all the gear neccessary.

Thanks for the reminder, FGB!
Let's bring this back to the top, as this program is on going.
I have some great open evening seats this summer, to get our armed forces people out fishing, and if I happen to be busy...there are many other great people here @ SH.net that have offered to get our troops out.
A reminder, Marty(this sites owner) has offered free site access to all service people deployed away from home.
Any questions, please reply here, pm or email me
Thank you for your service to our country!

Hi this is jim. I think this is a great program and one that deserves to be kept alive. I know that some of the guides on this board have taken returning soldiers out for trips but I do not think it should only be on them. I would like to see the board as a whole support this cause. Marty and mods what do you think about starting some kind of member supported fund for this? This site is full of great people . I think it would be a great thing to do and a great show of support for the hardships these people endure. This is my .02 and pm’s good and bad are welcome.

I think it's a good idea and I'll support with $. These people deserve way more. My boat is open for Sturgeon almost anytime for our Military.  I'd add Salmon too but I suck trolling.  Wait, I can sit on the hook for Salmon. OK, Salmon trips too.

Hey guys. I'm new to the site, just got back from my deployment and finishing my time off for "reconstitution". Just wanted to say thanks for the support. I too can possibly take care packages over for no cost. Kind of short notice and I'll never know where they will end up. I'm in a similar situation to DaBrow, I fly over to Germany then who knows from there. Thanks again and let me know if there is anything I can help with.
