Operation HomeLink

Posted in First Sergeant

PASS THIS ON to your spouse's First Sergeant, Command Chief, Commander, etc!
Do you know of a unit that is due to deploy soon? Here is a resource to share with their unit leadership. Operation HomeLink's mission is to provide  refurbished computers to the spouses or parents of junior enlisted (E1 –E5) U.S. deployed service men and women enabling email communication with their loved one deployed overseas.


I must stress the following statement from Operation HomeLink!

"We need to point out that while we do provide free computers to military families, we do NOT accept request from individual military families. Instead, the corporation donating the computers specifies the geographic location or unit to which the bulk amount of computers (usually 100) are to be sent.  Also these computers are only given to families of service members that are set to deploy overseas within 30 - 120 days.  We ship the computers in bulk, rather than individually because doing so significantly reduces our shipping cost and thus enables us to help more military families. Giving computers at the beginning of the deployment maximizes the time period that they are used to link families with their deployed loved one.

It is important that this specific information be conveyed to avoid families unnecessarily contacting us to request a computer only to learn that we cannot meet their request."
