This week, the SlickforceGirl team sent care packages to deployed troops overseas. After reading requests from several active battalion leaders, we prepared packages that included much-needed items, such as protein bars, ramen noodles, warm socks and more. We also included Special Edition Airman Erika mini-posters for, well, motivation.

Our thanks to the real heroes who fight for freedom everywhere. We salute you!

While our first six heroes are out saving the world, Melanie Iglesias is getting ready for her SlickforceGirl shoot. She'll be joining the fight as Marine Melanie, but before she does, she must gear up and prepare for battle.

Special thanks to our military advisor Will Huang and Independent Studio Services for letting us play in their ultimate prop shop. Stay tuned for more from Marine Melanie!

SlickforceGirl wants to give SSG Gabriel Rodela and all the rest of the U.S. Special Forces soldiers a huge shout out! Your bravery in the most dangerous situations continues to inspire us. Be safe, and we wish you a speedy journey home.

"Thank you SlickforceGirl for the packages you sent to us. The snacks were a great additive for the guys since we usually only get to have small snacks throughout the day. Also the magazines are awesome being both 2d and 3d. The guys here really appreciate it and send their regards to you." - SSG Gabriel Rodela

SlickforceGirl would like to give CPO Jed May & his Navy troop a huge shout out!
They put their lives on the line day after day with their high security training, but still manage to have great spirits. We are so thankful for their courage and service.

"Thank you very much for the Outstanding Posters of the SlickforceGirls, I have mine proudly displayed on my locker. My leading petty officer handed out the posters to the guys and read your note to all of us. BIG BOOST in moral for us American Sailors that are grounded overseas for now. Thank You so very much for thinking of us, We are in great appreciation!" -CPO JED F. MAY

SlickforceGirl would like to give a shout out to Gregory Jasinski and his team! We appreciate your constant strength and courage.

"My team and I wanted to thank you for the care package. The WMB magazines were great, something for everyone in them, not to mention the 3D side was really cool. Thank you for the support, SlickforceGirl!" - Gregory Jasinski

In early December, the SlickforceGirl team reached out to several battalions of deployed U.S. troops overseas to find out what items they needed in the field. Our team put together more than a dozen care packages and shipped them out just before Christmas. Over the last few weeks, we've begun to receive confirmations of package arrivals in various destinations—many of them delivered by helicopter to the most remote of locations—including this photo from an undisclosed Air Force base in Afghanistan. It shows Airman Amico and two of his fellow airmen, cheered on by SlickforceGirl Erika.

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the men and women who risk their lives everyday for others. Your bravery in the most dangerous situations continues to inspire us, and it is a sobering reminder of just how many freedoms we take for granted as civilians. Be safe, and we wish you a speedy journey home.
