  • Pay It Forward?

    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.

    Sounds like a good idea
    What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

      I find it the best way to dispose of kit that was once issued, that you er.. forgot to return. By passing it on to someone serving, it is still in the property of the minister...

      Not that I have ever done that myself of course... recently... this weekend...


      Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                I can submit some Canadian Para wings, hoping to receive a forward payment of Irish Para wings
                This exchange was the reason I first joined this forum, but I never had a reply on my request. My collection is still without Irish wings, which is a shame...
                I can go for cloth and/or metal.

                  Great idea. I can throw in some bits and pieces. About a thousand pairs of (new unused) foam ear plugs for starters.

                  I'm sure I have a VFR kneeboard and an old Picatinny rail and mount set somewhere. Nothing fancy but I'd like to see someone get some use from them.
