Well, the donations I send out to the soldiers are generally left behind for the next crew who comes. That's the plan at least. Any hardware I've got (systems and such) I request definitely stays at the FOB so that the next group can use it, since obviously they are harder to come by.
I generally try to send boxes to more remote units in Afghanistan. As I said above, Afghanistan gets a lot less attention than Iraq, so those guys are in more need. I go with remote units because they don't have access to a PX most of the time (that's how it was for my unit), so they never have an opportunity to even BUY games when they are available.
Right now I have two boxes about to go out and have stuff for almost a third. Most are PC games, unfortunately, but then almost all soldiers have a laptop of some sort out there, so that works well enough.
If you know anyone else that might have some extra games to donate (new or used) or that might be willing to help cover shipping costs, please let me know. Shipping is $9.10/box (APO Flat Rate) so that can get a little pricey. Still worth shipping the stuff, though.
