Free Premier Membership Giveaway For Military!

[Joaquin03]

Hey everyone,

As some of you may or may not know I'm over here in Iraq in support of all these troops (mainly Marines).
I would like to show my appreciation for all of the current active duty Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen serving our country by giving away FREE Premier memberships to anyone on active duty that does not have a Premier membership already.

I will be randomly giving away (1) FREE Premier membership for EVERY month that I'm deployed to the middle-east, beginning May 2009!
EDIT: This is coming out of MY OWN POCKET!!! No mod, admin, or company is paying me to do this. I'm doing this on my own accord.

So here are the simple rules.

1. You MUST be serving on active duty or activated from Reserve or Guard status at least 3 weeks during the month you are selected for the prize. I will verify via PM, but it will mostly be on Integrity; a military core value!

2. You can NOT already be a Premier member!

3. You can only win once! Share the wealth!


Now that the ground rules are laid out, we can started the sign up list. Simply request to be added by replying to this post and I will update your name on my master list, that way I can keep tabs on it myself.

hey thats really cool joaquin! bump for the soldiers!

My question is.......what if you have 10 applicants for one month.....how do you choose who? and the rest of the 9 will be elegible next month correct?

[Joaquin03]

There will be a running list kept in my thread.

Everyone eligible will REMAIN eligible until they are no longer eligible according to the eligibility rules.

good bump G SEDAN, you made it a sticky!

[Garnet Canuck]

Joaquin, I only have one problem with your contest...........and that is that you will be paying for this out of YOUR pocket. I WON"T have of it since YOU are the one over there keeping the peace.....you are doing enough already bro. I want any winners here to PM me directly and I'll pay for your Premier Membership.

[G SEDAN]

I'll tell you what Joaquin.

In celebration of your safe return.......I will be paying for the winner that wins the month of your return. (Last winner of this contest).

And I'll volunteer as the independent auditor that chooses the winner.......if you need such a person

I'll take any chance to honor a hero!

[Joaquin03]

Thanks G SEDAN, I was actually looking for some sort of program or manner in which to randomly choose the winner for each month.

I was about to do the classic pieces of paper inside of a hat drawing.

how about you create a secret list that no ones has access to, and every month i'll use the random number generator on my excel and tell you the x number of spot on the list is the winner, that way they know it's completely random and unbiased.

Bump for a great cause. This is a real classy thing your doing!

Good luck over there Joaquin03. I wish you a safe return
