Helping out some Marines

Posted By Uncle Jimbo • [June 28, 2010]

Boston Maggie is pointing out some folks who could use some assistance, and thankfully she does so in print. If she had simply shouted this out vocally, no one, 'cept some chowdah heads, would have been able to understand her.

My fav BMCS has found a particular problem in Khandahar. His unit has come across a group of wounded Marines who have slipped through the cracks so to speak. They come in straight from the field with the clothes on their back. In most cases, these Marines have suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). They are in this location to see the doctors at the nearby facility, which is top-notch, before being shipped out to other facilities.

So, what's the problem? Well, for one thing, the Marines have none of their own gear. Except for seeing the docs, they are sitting around bored silly. So, my BMCS has rounded up some stuff for them (cumshaw, anyone?); a TV, a DVD player and an X-Box. But he needs more stuff.
