Hey Jenna sending you a PM. 

Thanks for your help!  He's not part of the 173rd airborne, he is part of (or in this case the entire) Embedded Training Team completely separate and apart from the 173rd but fighting side by side with them, so was told his address must include his unit info (ETT 5-3/201) while there's must include their unit info.  He was pretty clear that it has to have his ETT info on it.  It is a mystery... ;)

Hi jenna. The address you posted is correct for Vegas and has worked for my contact there. Have you been able to communicate with your hubby? If not, send me an email or pm, I can put you in touch by email with a 2/503 soldier on Vegas, maybe he can lay eyes on a package that does make it in to the new guys and see how they're addressed or something. For sure, he can pass a message along for ya. Sorry this is happening to you :(  Shelly

Hi Jenna, My soldier on Vegas had this to say...

hey shelly, yea i know reefer he is out here with us. i dont know why that address didnt work. we got mail the other day when my squad was at the kop and i did see a box there for him, but i didnt see who it was from. the addresses on it were typed if that helps?.

So, yur fella got some mail Were your address labels typed? If not, figure out who sent that one and what they put on the address, cause it worked! It may have just been a fluke too. Every now and then there will be a local manning the postal area and packages get sent all over by mistake.

Hope that helps! Hang in there and keep us posted how you and DH are doing!

WOOHOO!  That is GREAT news! I can tell that my guy is getting more disappointed as days go by without any mail and any idea where it could be.  I just forwarded him your email - hopefully he checks before he goes to bed since this will make his night!  Thank you so much!!  My labels were typed and that's definintely some of the stuff from me waiting at the KOP for him, so I'm really happy.  It was such a bummer to realize that the one thing I could do for him as his new wife (we got married 31 days before he shipped out) was screwed up and missing.  Thank you so much for getting that info for us! 

I'm so honored to be able to help out actually. It must be very difficult for you. You should be on your honeymoon! If it helps, he's among some great guys :) I passed along your appreciation to the soldier who did the actual homework (and to Kristen who let me know you were here!). Check your pm too, I'll send you links to some pix of the area. Don't let the stables scare ya. They've built wood huts now :)

Hugz, shelly
