Every volunteer constantly asks for photo reports from the brigades and battalions they support - this is an axiom and absolute rule of volunteer work. You need to show how and what you spent the money you raised, and you need to explain to the audience that money is needed again and again for further work.
Every volunteer wants "epic" and "heroic" photo reports. This is at the subconscious level - a dead occupier will help raise more money, military equipment on the background of the cargo will help raise more money.
And we like to play with logistics and we like to play with logistics. Well, it just so happens that we have experience and understanding of logistics processes... But if someone says that a photo report about 200 sets of bed linen is not worth it, we are not ready to agree with them. To hell with all that epic monumentalism, burning tanks and dead occupants (but they are also very necessary)!
We have a photo report about the bedding!
One of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' training centers trains operators of attack and reconnaissance drones, the same ones whose epic videos we love to watch. The nuances of accounting and warehousing, the eternal bureaucratic snags and regulations - no bedding is provided to seconded soldiers who arrive for three to four weeks of training. Audit, schmaudit, misuse, and a kick in the ass. And the commander of the center just wants the cadets to feel... cozy. So we bought 200 sets of bed linen. Not the usual goat-white-gray-brown-raspberry ones, but the ones with a homey, patterned design. So that our cats could feel our care.
This is... an unheroic photo report about such an important care for our cats.
