HERE IS A LIST OF ITEMS THAT ARE OFTEN REQUESTED FROM MOST OF THE GUYS, AND OKAY TO SEND THROUGH THE MAIL.
http://www.mwrarmyhawaii.com/acs/ACSFamily%20Readiness/GoodiesList11.htm HERE IS A LIST OF IDEAS ABOUT CARE PACKAGE THEMES TO HELP KEEP IT INTERESTING!
http://www.mwrarmyhawaii.com/acs/ACSFamily%20Readiness/carepackage.pdf HERE IS JOE'S ADDRESS FOR WHILE HE IS IN IRAQ. IT WILL TAKE 10-15 DAYS FOR HIM TO GET MY LETTERS FROM OUR HOUSE AND THE SAME FOR HIS LETTERS TO ME, SO I AM NOT SURE OF THE TIME FOR WHERE YOU MAY BE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A CHANGE TO HIS ADDRESS. IF YOU SEND A BOX, KEEP IT AROUND SHOE BOX SIZE AND UNDER 70 LBS. THE POST OFFICE HERE GIVES OUT FREE PRIORITY BOXES FOR CARE PACKAGES. YOU SHOULD HAVE TO FILL OUT A CUSTOMS FORM DECLARING WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE, BUT NOT THE LETTERS. ENVELOPES ARE JUST REGULAR POSTAGE ACCORDING TO THE WEIGHT LIKE ALWAYS. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING EXPRESS, BUT YOU CAN SEND IT PRIORITY, THE POST OFFICE SHOULD KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR CALL THE POST OFFICE HOTLINE 1-800-278-8777.
A FEW IDEAS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WRITE LETTERS: SUNDAY COMICS, SHORT STORIES, ARTICLES FROM MAGAZINES AND PAPERS, PUZZLES, EMAIL FORWARDS, AND LOTS OF PICTURES. I WILL BE LAMINATING THE PICTURES HE TOOK WITH HIM AND WHAT I SEND TO HIM SO THEY WILL LAST LONGER AND HE WON'T BE WORRIED ABOUT TEARING THEM UP.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T GET A RESPONSE, HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO KEEP IN TOUCH. BUT FOR HIM, EVERY LITTLE THING WILL HELP.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T WANT TO, OR DON'T HAVE TIME TO PUT TOGETHER A PACKAGE, THERE IS A QUICK SOLUTION. THE LINK BELOW WILL TAKE YOU TO A WEBSITE THAT WILL PACK AND SHIP A CARE PACKAGE FOR YOU, YOU EVEN GET TO PICK THE THEME! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. YOU CAN ALSO NOMINATE A SOLDIER FOR A DRAWING TO RECEIVE A FREE CARE PACKAGE. I PAY AROUND $20 A BOX TO SHIP AND THAT DOESN'T COUNT HOW MUCH I SPEND TO PUT IN IT, SO THE PRICES AREN'T TOO BAD. JUST AN IDEA IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND HATE WAITING IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE!
