TECHNICALLY NO MORE SUBMISSIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT. THAT IS WHEN THE GIVE AWAY EXPIRES.  WE WILL ASSESS WHAT WE HAVE AT THAT TIME.

THE THREAD.

It is Veterans Day tomorrow.  Been trying to do this on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.  I never served.  I think the world of Vets who served our country.  So I try to get some BRONZE memberships coordinated and given away.  @The_Dog is strategic with his spreadsheet skills and @Bellows has helped also with keeping things straight.  This is difficult to keep up with at times.  But it is to thank those who put it on the line.  Some rules..


In order to qualify you must have verified site bling...A dog tag, or a service icon.  This is the only fair way to do it. Anybody can say anything and they have. Lets remove all doubt.  I have had another thread up for a couple weeks THE THREAD BEFORE THE THREAD telling you to get your bling.  So now on to the rest of the rules.


You must currently NOT have a paid TEAM membership.  If we have memberships left at the end we will back fill.  This thread is being done twice a year to hit those who fell outside of parameters.


You can snap shot your profile and post the pic that shows your date of expiration as goatboy has a current policy of not lapsing memberships due to Covid.  


You must post CLEARLY in the thread I would like one.  MAKE IT CLEAR.  People himhaw around because they are to humble or embarrassed, this is here for vets. Just say it clearly I WOULD LIKE ONE.  If we have one and its your turn we will deliver.



TO GET YOUR BLING EMAIL [email protected] Striker is the man on verifying creds. GO HERE INSTEAD...... DIRECTIONS FOR BLING BY STRIKER



Now memberships offered.  I ALWAYS buy the first 3.  Then we move down the list 1 from each donor so everybody gets some feel good skin in the game.  Then we start over at the top of the list.  


I will amend these rules ASAP, if I have forgotten anything, at anytime, and the new rules will stand. These rules are the GOLD STANDARD, and will be followed.  Do not ask for deviations.  It keeps us all informed and up to speed.  We do the best we can, there is always that one guy who sends hate mail because of something or another.  I ignore, I am comfortable we do the best we can with a cheerful heart.


THANK YOU VETERANS, GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS AMERICA.



Donations as follows, and YOU can add to this at anytime.  AMENDED, a donation is a donation, please don't ask for a specific service or line of work.  All veterans served, lets just honor them all equally....I know that sounds like communism.  Don't hate me.

SAVED because I knew I would forget something

THIS THREAD WILL BE ACTIVE THROUGH MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT, that is veterans day.  At the end of its life, we will stop taking requests, and fill what we have with veterans who are not expired yet.  We will also stop taking donations at this time.  The thread will be locked after we conclude business and confirm everybody got their membership.


PLEASE REMEMBER TO POST A THANK YOU or something in the thread so we can see and confirm you got your membership.  We want to make sure everybody that can gets serviced.

Add me for 2 as well please.

@lazar log out and log back in now.  Please post to confirm

Awesome!  Thank you!

I'd love one, although I'm currently still listed as a member, it actually expired months ago.

If there are any left after the others.

Done the scramble is on TY

Adding TY!!

Thanks for looking out for the vets. Really cool you guys do this every year

ADDING TY!!!

void

That is Maikal_86 I may be spelling it wrong. He is salty in person too

So - you are going to give us the names to purchase for, right? I've donated a number over the years, but not been part of this thread before.

Count me in. I would like one. Mine literally expires today

OK somehow there is a work around to screen shot your profile and it shows your expiration.  Maybe somebody remembers??

Yes you will be @'d with the person you purchase for

I have absolutely no desire to be a member again but as a fellow veteran, any fellow paratroopers out there with no avatars and would like the features of the  site, Ill buy ya one. Well one lol. Not all you fuckers.

ETA any vet is good.

I don't mean to be a jerk...this is a lot of work and count me is not clear.

I think you mean you would like a membership. But it could also mean you want to buy a membership.  PLEASE restate your intent per the laid out rules so I will more easily be able to understand.

I need these intentions to be clear from everybody so I don't mess up.  THIS REALLY IS A LOT OF WORK.., Not looking for sympathy, just to do the right thing.

Will add you to the list---paratrooper.

NEW RULE TO GO IN THE OP


It is hard as hell to accommodate specifics.  I know you guys want to do this because of where your heart is but from past few times it JUST GETS TO HARD TO ADMINISTER.

Either you donate a membership to a veteran or maybe go out on your own.  It is really hard to find a SALTY MARINE or Paratrooper, meanwhile other veterans may wait or go without because they were a cook or a Navy SEAL.  

I am sorry, I truly don't mean to offend anybody by this.  It is just really hard to adminster these niche rules.

It's all good.  I'm just trying to catch up.

void

Ohh this shit again.

I did one last year, gonna step it up to 2 this year.

Put me down for 2 memberships for some awesome members.


Edit due to the new rules. Proof of awesomeness is not required.

I’ll donate a bronze

He's just jelly of my numchucks....

I got a new to me pair from an arfcommer.  Cocobolo....new video in the works soon.

I hear ya. Change mine to any vet. I still appreciated the hot chow, motrin and paychecks. Just wanted to hook a brother up but in the end we are all brothers.

Adding TY
