Lads, this is something I've seen done on other forums and has worked quite well.
As most the IMO membership are serving or have served, in various militaries(sp?), across the globe, we're all bound to have ended up with heaps of kit that we may not use anymore or have more than one of. How about a thread, where members, upon discovering items they may no longer use or have a need for, offer it up to the board, free of charge, for anyone who wants it?
First person to claim it, gets it. However, the catch is that if you recieve an item from another member, you must "pay it forward" by putting something up for the community. None of the items have to be anything mad but I reckon it would certainly help broaden the sense of community, as well as helping each other out with sourcing kit.
Just a thought, all arguments for or against are welcome.
