Any ideas on how to fundraise for a trip to Germany?
My German Class is taking a trip to Germany and my parents are already sending my brother to Australia (the band at our school was chosen to play at the Sydney Opera House and is one of only 5 world wide high schools playing there so this is really really cool to go). I however have a conflict that I can't go to Germany unless I come up with the money. I need ideas on how to get $350 by next February and an additional $2000 by next July. I can't get a job because baseball and school takes up pretty much all my time even in the winter because I'm working out to make the high school team.

well, hold an all-day car wash or something.
2 :
First get some friends together! Go to a local shop on the main street that has a hose connection and do a marathon car wash event. Make sure you have lots of soap, towels and buckets. Then ask your parents for an advance on your car washing income.
3 :
First come up with a plan how you can make the money let's say by the end of 2008. Car washing is an option, not mine though. You can sell people's stuff on eBay and get a commission. Talk to your friends and look into your hobby - you might come with something that can $3000 richer ... after all it's just a $58 a week. May be even give a $10 lessons to younger kids who learn to play baseball (talk yo parents of kids in elementary school). Now when you have a good plan (put it on a paper) run to your parents and tell that you have a how to make 3K and ask them to lend you the money that you will return WITH INTEREST. I don't know you parents, but they probably would not take interest but will take you a bit differently. See how the respond if they start with "yes, but..." just go on with negotiation. All you need know is to make them pay that $350 and work out the details later. It might be that by July you would be able to pay them back and make 2K. That should be your goal. Best of luck!

If you can't get a job then you cannot go to Germany.

Do the Marines make you pay for your hotel room prior to leaving the States?
Do the Marines make you pay for your hotel room prior to leaving the States?
A friend of mine says that her son called her and needed money to pay for his hotel room in Maine due to a delay. He called her again from Germany saying he needed money for a hotel room due to a delay. They than took off for Iraq. A friend told me that in Germany they have barracks, no one stays at a hotel. So maybe the Maine incident is believeable but the money he wanted for a hotel in Germany I don't believe. Why would they let those guy/gals roam at will in another country.

Yes, but they usually give you money for the move. I think he's putting the touch on Mom.
2 :
no, the marines pay for it. My friend was homeless and joined the marines and they payed for his room and board before deployment. They are responsible for that
3 :
You usually file a claim when you arrive at your next assignment and they reimburse you for your expenses while traveling if they don't put you up in the barracks. Save all your receipts.
4 :
Yes, they sometimes get reimbursed for this. Have him check with his CO.
5 :
If he was leaving for Iraq then no, he would NOT be allowed to go to any city and get a hotel room. If he is deploying and going to Iraq he will at all times stay with his company in the airport. Even with a delay they stay at the airport. The military members are not allowed to leave their company or unit to go sight seeing or anything like that. They are to stay together in the airport. He was pulling mom's leg.
6 :
My boyfriend is a Marine and he had to pay for his hotel while he had to wait because of delays. I don't know so much about the time he was in Germany, but the time when he was in Maine can totally be valid.
7 :
He will get re-reimbursed... things happen and sometimes they do need to pay for it themselves at the time, but they will get that money back if they take the receipts to Financing.
8 :
Yes they do make you pay for your own room when you are leaving to go somewhere. However usually you get a government issued credit card in order to pay for that type of thing. When you arrive at your next station you fill out a travel voucher and get reimbursed for any expenses you had.
9 :
He received travel funds. It is likely he spent them on things other than the purpose they were meant for.
10 :
You put it on your militay credit card , than you fill out paperwork to get paid back for it.
11 :
My husband is in the Marine corps and they have "Government Charge Card" that gets activated when they deploy just incase they get delayed on a deployment or training mission.They cant charge what ever they want on it .. they do review what is charged and if its not something you have to have, then it comes out of you pay check. The service is responsible for that .. not the individual

Sind Sie jetzt im Deutschland? Das ist aber sehr leicht! Simply ask around. Germans are crazy about their cars and there are tons of very competent performance and tuner shops around.
2 :
Germany is a big place. There are lots of performance shops located throughout the country. Try contacting several "Tuning" shops that are listed in the Auto, Motor und Sport Magazine. They often have TEL numbers listed and the city or town where they operate their business. What kind of car do you want to modify? Call and ask what kind of cars and tuning they specialize in.

What is the safest way to make an out of country purchase.?
I live in the United States and I am thinking of buying some motorcycle parts from someone living in Germany. What is the easiest and safest way to make an out of country purchase? Also, he would like to be payed in Euros. How do this? If he gives me his bank account number an I transfer money into this account will it automatically be converted to Euros? Is there a type of money order in Euros I can send? I am very confused about how to make this work, so any information would be a great help.

There are several ways to do it...mostly depending on how big a shipment you are inporting and how much money is involved...yes you can do a bank transfer...or using Western Union are two of the most common for small amounts...there is also Paypal...large amounts could be done by letter of credit.

I need to make some money for soccer camp. Any ideas?
I need to make some money for soccer camp. Any ideas?
I am currently living in Germany and playing girls soccer with a German club as well as the American High School. I would like to go to a college scouting soccer camp next summer. My parents said they would pay for it, but its quite expensive and I am one of six children. I played starting varisty as a freshman, as well as started on both the boys U16 and girls U16. I was invited to this camp last year, but then the admin found out that I was only a freshman and instead invited me for next year. This is a good opportunity for me to get scouted and pay for some if not all of my college. I would like to pay for at least some of not all of the camp by myself. I would also need to purchase an plane ticket. There really aren't that many job opportunities here. I am rather involved in school and athletics so I don't really have time for a job anyway. I'm not interested in doing fundraiser type stuff, I'm willing to work. I know that there isn't any way to ''get rich quick", but I have until next summer. Any ideas on how to earn at least 2K before the end of th school year? This is a personal thing and not a team fundraiser.

Talk to the principle. You can do it. We had an American girl from NYC in our class for about one year. You can just go, but like I said, you need to talk to the principle first.
