I appreciate the sentiment but I was at a tiny base and we still had all of the toiletries and such we needed. DVD movies are available on the economy for $2. Porn is a non-issue as it is incredibly freely available, no need to send it and they may have a platoon leader who wants to burn them for some reason. T-shirts off duty are a no-go, you stay in uniform all the time. I would recommend magazines, paperbacks, and candy/sweets that are a notch above/different from the ones you get in the PX. I really applaud the sentiment, but I have seen tons of care packages like the above wasted/literally burned as trash.
