Corpsman.com Mugs by DeeDee!

Wow, been 3 weekss since last AOTC!!

Just so you understand my thought process on the show, yes I would like to do it on a regular day and time, but life as a college student and family man, it’s like juggling cats!

I have blocked some time for this Sunday and wanted to give you all a heads up. I hope some of the regulars show up!

Hope to see you and remember, we are using USTREAM this time. I will post the link on our Facebook group (lookup “Corpsman Com” and join us!”) and on the front page.

I can’t do it right now as my youngest son “S” (7 years old) is getting his braces put on right now. (Thank god for the IPhone!)

More posts later today as well!

Holiday Care Package Deadline Approaches

For military service members stationed around the globe, holiday mail is a big morale boost. The recommended mailing date for the most economical postage to overseas military installations, including Iraq and Afghanistan, is November 13, 2009.

Mail sent to overseas military addresses is charged only domestic mail prices. The domestic mail price for the Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box is $13.95, but for packages to APO/FPO addresses overseas the price is reduced to $11.95. Additional discounts are available for customers printing their Priority Mail postage labels online. Flat-Rate boxes are free at any Post Office, or can be ordered online at shop.usps.com. Postage, labels and customs forms can be printed online any time using Click-N-Ship.

The Postal Service continues to show support to those serving by offering free Military Care Kits, designed specifically for military families sending packages overseas. The mailing kits can be ordered by phone by calling 1-800-610-8734 and asking for the Care Kit. Each kit includes two “America Supports You” large Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes, four medium-sized Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes, six Priority Mail labels, one roll of Priority Mail tape, and six customs forms with envelopes.

For APO/FPO zip code specific military mailing deadlines, go to: http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2009/pr09_082.htm.

USO Hawaii-I was playing around on the USO Hawaii website and found that they are giving some Holiday Help in the form of food to E6 & below. I’m not sure if this would help any of you ladies but thought I’d post it. I also don’t know how long it’s been up there and it says it’s for the first 40 responders…so if you do respond..good luck!

USO in general-check with your local USO to see what programs they are offering this holiday season.
