No Africa. Looking at girls in the Philippines so they can get an education and hopefully not whore themselves out to Marines on deployment...


The marines could just get the fuck out of the Philippines. Waste of money and resources


And I'd agree go with a non-religious charity. People in need require sustenance and shelter, perhaps an education, not more superstition.

I like this. How would you go about doing something like that? I've got nothing but time.

Basically, its the same as a job application really, when my mother was doing Red Cross work I got roped into it after ditching high school and ended up piloting a light plane full of doctors from one end of east Africa to the other when I had the time.
Will to do it goes part of the way, something YOU can do as a skill counts for the other half.

Personally I don't recommend it, you do need to look at something in the way of a constructive career for yourself now that you have/where leaving the military. (but by all means do what you can when you can)

Yeah I got out back in June. When in Japan i was voluntold to visit a school and just play with the kids. Back then all I wanted to do was drink and act a fool not really caring about all this stuff. I really enjoyed it even though the kids were all spawns of SATAN! They were like seagulls trying to steal all your shit!

When I deployed to the Philippines we went to a really run down school and brought them food and juice. It was the first time I have ever experienced poverty like this. But the kids were so happy and full of life. They loved us and it was so much fun playing with them. I remember looking at my buddy and he had five kids on each arm pulling him. I really didn't want to leave. But when it was time it was like tearing apart a mother/father from their children. The kids were crying saying i love you and all that. Was really touching.

I'm now sponsoring Paolene from the Philippines through childreninternation.com


I am also going to be sponsoring a well in Africa.

New years resolution, helping more people!

It's probably because I'm drinking, but when I quickly glanced at the pic of that girl, I SWORE she was holding a cocktail glass.

I was sponsoring a little argentinian boy for a long time. He needed growth hormones and is still only 5ft 5. He dreamt of being a professional footballer. His name was Lionel.




Now he earns more in a second than I do in a year and I think he should sponsor me
