Most of the guys in my platoon were on at least their 3rd deployment, some on their 5th or 6th, so there was a good amount of experience on what to expect, comfort-wise, and a certain level of acceptance for the living conditions for where we were. Once we got on-site, I got the turnover from the previous platoon and a contact number for Bad Ass Boxes was part of it. I was thinking it was just going to be another run of the mill care package company. I could NOT  have been more wrong. The boxes had everything we needed AND wanted, and nothing we didn’t. Having communication with someone before packages are built and sent is a huge difference between this company and any others. Morale can get pretty low when the work slows down during the holiday season, but Bad Ass Boxes made a huge difference this time. On any of my other deployments, I’ve never seen the morale any higher than this one. Keep it up, the fellas downrange appreciate it!!

Multiple people have said this is the best Christmas ever!
You’ve gotten many thank yous for me to pass along. You guys are awesome

“You the freakin wo-man! We just got the first shipment finally, Seriously, incredible. Thank you.”

We got our boxes today! The guys were so excited. We had no idea how awesome they were going to be. For like 5 or 10 minutes we passed around the french vanilla creamer and just smelled it. I wish you could have seen the expression on their faces when I pulled out the dip. It really meant a lot to us and we really appreciate all of it. One of my guys told me that was the nicest thing anyone has done for him out of all of his deployments. We would like to send you guys a photo if that would be ok. 

On behalf of the entire platoon I wanted to thank Bad Ass Boxes for their time and generosity. The plethora of items exponentially increased the comfort and morale of all the men at our outstation. Having done a good amount of overseas deployments I can honestly say these were the most practical and useful care packages I have experienced in over a decade of service. We recently recieved a few shipments of mountain house meals direct from the supplier via BAB and they will happily hold guys over until we get back. Again thank you all for truly making a difference to those who serve.

Very respectfully

Got the holiday boxes today! Looks like it was 3x big brown boxes, the triangle box and one long rectangle box. First off let me say that guys were stoked! Highest morale I’ve seen in quite some time. These boxes were absolutely awesome. We gathered up all the thanksgiving food and handed it off to our cook, he promised to cook it all on thanksgiving. Guys thought the Legos, remote control cars and helicopters were awesome. We took the rest of the Christmas box and put it away so we have some stuff to enjoy next month. Everyone approved of the poster choices and well really every choice in all the boxes,good stuff. Please thank everyone for the thought and generosity. Oh yah, nice touch with the pink electric water boilers
