AMERICA, APRIL 16, 2024 – Good morale boosts mission effectiveness and survival. Care goods boost morale. Times are tough at home. And in the midst of that, our soldiers slog on and do the impossible for us every day! We’re Americans – we can do anything! When the going gets tough, real Americans get going. So let’s step up for them the way they step up for all of us! Call your local stations today and see what they’ll make happen for the troops deployed to protect them.
- Ask your local radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers to tell their audiences how people and companies can send care goods to their troops!
- They just go to https://supportourtroops.org/care-packages
- They will find a list of things the troops are requesting, and the rules.
- People and companies send goods to Support Our Troops® at the address listed there.
- And they get repacked according to need and send overseas.
- Simple!
All Together Now!®
"Everything you have sent has been such a blessing from the plastic utensils to the blank CDs and memory sticks. Even the simple things are hard to come by out here so every last bit helps and makes it that much easier for us to do our job. Thank you for all you do in support of us and all of our fellow soldiers out here. You are truly a blessing."

“The first day, everyone is yelling at me. I don’t know what I’m doing. They just shaved my head.” USMC Recruit.
Camp Clark, Nevada, Missouri. (April 12, 2024): These random thoughts from a terrified young recruit are typical of the shock they experienced when entering Basic training. Their angst is often shared by their family members as they too adjust to their role in their loved one’s career. The Marine Corps understands this anxiety and has created a program to help recruits, and their families, prepare for entry into the Corps.
Officially called “Poolees,” the program is for recruits who have signed up but have yet to begin training. Many are still in high school and may spend months in the delayed entry program. The Marines now require Poolees to participate in activities each month including physical training, learning basic customs and traditions, and they also get a chance to meet with Drill Instructors on what to expect.
It is also an excellent opportunity for parents to learn more about Basic training and it allows Drill Instructors to answer any questions or concerns they may have. The Marines even sponsor “Poolees Family Nights” where parents of recent boot camp graduates and those with children currently in boot camp can lend support and share information with Poolees parents.
The result is recruits who are better physically and mentally prepared for Basic training and whose parents have been thoroughly briefed on every aspect of what is come.
