Don't forget stuff in your gear
Posted on
I work for a military contractor cleaning and repairing all the various gear used by the army and the other branches, and to those that have served and are going to serve I'm pretty much begging you, please don't forget anything in your gear before you turn it in! I can't tell you how many things we find left in gear far too many things that should not be forgotten, personal letters, pictures, PII, drawings from the soldier's kids. Every time I find a personal letter it's extremely saddening, because I know little if anything of this stuff ever finds its way back to its owners. We have to remove everything and throw it in a large box and that box is sorted out once in a while, 99% of that stuff is just thrown away. So please please please don't forget these things in your gear, it's heartbreaking every time I find a letter that could have an extreme significance to the person it belonged to, valuable memories lost and never found again. If anybody else has any stores like this or anything significant to add to what I've said please share it.
