At Target I recently found Olay sets that include a full size shower gel, a full size lotion and an Embrace razor.  There is also a bar of soap.  There is a trial size of body wash as well.  They also include a little scrubbie sponge.  It is all nicely packaged in a plastic case with a handle.  All for $8.99!!  The ...

The customs forms are easy to fill out online and print at home.  The down side is they eat up a lot of paper and ink.

I just had a package sent to McDaniel returned as well.  The first 2 (one for the males, one for the females) were not returned, but the one sent 10/6 was...how strange.  I will forward this to AS support for follow up.    Update 11/9-I talked with the USPS (very nice local clerks) and she said the acronyms on the ...

 Just a reminder...Like Marty says-CHECK those addresses before sending packages, particularly now!!  Lots of changes in the Valley folks!!  Be aware when the packages go out, send early as they may have to reroute if your contact has moved to a new location.  Even if you checked, the contact may not have had computer ...

I don't know your contact's name, but am wondering if they left or if the address was removed 30 days prior to leaving.  Most times the address no longer gets mail 30 prior to a unit returning home.  But, to keep the unit's movements secure and provide as much safety as possible, the ACTUAL date may not be disclosed ...

Some guys have access to a microwave, even in some of the more remote outposts.  It can also be melted over a campstove too for other applications as sauce for...well who knows what.  Send some salsa and a tupperware bowl, let them mix it...just a thought. 

My soldiers have never signed for their packages and they still arrive-unless the Taliban burn them.  The mail gets tranferred from the APO in the US.  All have delivery confirmation.  the delivery confirmation is only good in the US and only tells you if it gets to the APO, as is the insurance...Once in the hands of the MPO all in ...

Yep, It's was happy dance day yesterday!! Free mail from a marine in A'stan.  No matter how many you get, every one fills me with kid at Christmas excitement.  I keep thinking of snoopy dancing around...yep, that was me. The kids lit up when I told them a letter AND a post card arrived.   Sent out Motomail right back...LOVE ...

 This is the second or third posting of a very similar type by different soldiers.  It seems a criminal investigation is in order to catch a thief (or thieves)...

recently I was lucky enough to find non alcohol hand sanitizer at dollar general.  Not many on the shelf, but I bought what they had.  Big lots had a box of 5 for $5.  I could only send 3, 2 were travel size and under pressure.  I kept those for us and flu season. Just wanted to let you know I did come across a non alcohol ...
