The U.S. Postal Service will send you free Flat Rate shipping boxes, Customs forms, Priority Mail labels and tape for sending packages to Iraq or Afghanistan. Call 1-800-610-8734, select option 1 (Express Mail, Priority Mail or Global Express) and ask the service agent for the Military Kit (or Mili-Kit).

My wife is already sending things as part of their "care package program" or something sounding like that. Honestly, I admit she is more proactive than I am.Originally Posted by Gunny

We usually send something end of November. Not sure how it is now but mail usually took about 3-4 weeks when I deployed. Probably quicker if they can fly it in. Our came by ship so we'd get it whenever we got an underway replenishment from the UnRep ship.

Our daughter is in a program where you send packages several times a year to a soldier assigned to you. I don’t recall the name, but it’s pretty cool. She thought of doing this on her own. Mama is proud that we raised a child who cares.

Absolutely nothing. I guess we (wherein “we”= Russ) will just continue renovating the powder room.

If I had my Camaro I'd be out and about cruising around, but I'm stuck with this OLD PERSON'S CAR Buick Regal.
In all fairness to the Chevy dealer, they did ask me if I wanted my car for the weekend, but I said no, it's already there, go ahead and get those stripes painted on.

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
