Military in Middle East can use some help

Senior member
Troops in the middle east have limited resources to access the internet. They can always use IT help and of course equipment. If you are interested in helping out go to this link and see what needs you can help meet.

Please post this info in other forums you visit

Please bump and note sites I might post this at to get other folks to help!
 
I recall a similar thread, an officer(?) was requesting low-end machines for his unit. The thread was stickied in FS/FT, IIRC. I can't find it now, though.
 
Hmmm...here on Taji, it is relatively easy to get on the internet (except while outside the wire, of course). We've got three big internet centers where the wait is never more than half an hour long...

Really, the only thing we need here are thumb drives...not even big ones...just enough to hold family photos and downloaded copies of our bills and such. With as big as USB drives are getting, I'm sure you've all got plenty of 16mb thumb drives sitting around...

In particular, I need a thumb drive...who wants to donate direct? 😉

Also, Text, for goodness sake 😛

Just kidding...

I'll ask around, but most of my friends don't use computers on a regular basis, except for MSN and MySpace. ^^;

Uggh...myspace....

The soldiers I work with use myspace way too much. Even get in fights based on the comments they leave on each others' pages. :roll:

Mind you, these are all rough 'n' tumble combat soldiers--scouts and forward observers 🙂

Hmmm...I sorta expect them to be looking up pictures of guns and muscle cars and such...but deep down, I know you're right 😛

Perhaps the Myspace comments are over who has the biggest gun and which muscle car is best?

Meh...it's really not as bad as you think...

Except for the heat...that's worse than you could ever imagine 🙂
