Somebody tell a civilian how to get this done... I was just about to throw away two years worth of MAXIM I have laying around. I'd be happy to throw in some beef jerky, pop tarts and baby wipes.

Shipping out the 2 packages today was my first time also. Easiest way I can figure go to the post office and get their large flat rate boxes, the advantage of these is that it doesn't matter how much it weighs, it ships for about $15 bucks. Once you have it packed go to USPS.com and register for an account if you don't have one. The advantage of the USPS account is that when shipping it will require custom's forms and declarations. Having the USPS account it will fill all that info in and print it out for you and all you have to do it just take it to the post office afterwards. No need to fill out any forms in triplicate or however many copies they require.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST ONE MORE DAY AND IM OUT...........thanks for all the support it is very appreciated. When i get there and recieve them i will take pic's and post them on the site.

I'm in Kandahar so don't need any of the food stuff, it seems as though we get plenty of junk food. Unfortunately I'm in a trans unit and they still believe in giving us M-16 A2's that are large and suck, not even rails. They also give us ****ty USGI magazines that also suck. If anyone has magazines or stuff to convert an A2 to a rail type system or collapsible stock that would be awesome!

Ok, so I'm registered at USPS and reading the tips, rules, restrictions, etc. and see the "No Pork Products" restriction. WTF? That just pisses me off.

As for the no porn rule, how far do they go to check? Should I put a Maxim or Wired cover over a Playboy and see if it makes it?

When I was deployed my two dream gifts were hometown newspapers and CD recordings or podcasts of my favorite radio stations.

[famous2146]

Well guys this will be my last post from the US. Off we go in route to Afghanistan. Wish me luck
And happy holidays to all of you as well as thanks for the support.

[lazyworm]

@famous2146 good luck. Happy Holidays.

General question -- how do I find out what unit(s) doesn't get enough / need care package?

[famous2146]

hey guys just wanted to let yall know i got one more flight before my final destination but i have arrived in afghan

[FreshPrinceofRP]

Good luck! Too bad you won't be home for the holidays, but someone has to be out there. And I`m glad it's a good calgunner! I have several car magazine subscriptions, and a lot saved up.
If you or any service member wants them, I'll send them on over.

[famous2146]
