what about a fund to assist like a small monthly donation into an account designed to help new members with equipment and updates for the forum and what not. for example I work in the military and my company has a fund in which every soldier donates (not Mandatory) say by seniority for ex. in my unit its by rank meaning I am a SSG E-6 so i pay $6.00 a month towards the fund but say a PFC E-3 only pays $3.00 a month once again not mandatory but those that donate are put on a list and whenever we have a company event we are given a chance at rewards i won a PS3 at the christmas raffle which was cool and one of the other soldiers that donates won a 42" LED TV at the same rate we also use the fund to pay for trips, barbeques, company t-shirts (everytime we get a new CO we always end up getting a new design company shirt to wear during friday physical training lol) and all of that is funded by that funds to assist account just idea but i think it would help with the forum, shirts being ordered, runs on gear like the pouches, and other items per say nothing super expensive but i think ya'll get my point any thoughts?????
