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.

Sorry for getting this Netcast out this late, but it has been a hell of a week in my house.  My oldest daughter had surgery last Thursday and is recovering. She is doing well, but it has stretched both myself and my wife thin of late.  Tonight is the first time I have actually had time to sit at the computer to mix this broadcast.

Anthony & Jewell Garcia

AOTC #74 of course is dedicated to HM3 Garcia who we lost in Afghanistan on the 5th of August.

DeeDee, 8404, and myself hosted the show.  DeeDee was actually in my daughters room for the taping and I was in my living room.    She and her family were visiting from MI for the weekend, and we had them stay at our place.  We had a awesome time, but also found out her logitech mic picks up more noise etc while taping then any spy microphone made.. Hence the reason she ended up in my daughters room.  We had much echo during the test.

Once that was fixed.  (really I didn’t boot her people!!) We recorded this netcast for you all.

I hope you enjoy it.

You can of course read all the links discussed here:

And you can read about HM3 Garcia here: Corpsman KIA: HM3 Anthony C. Garcia KIA 05 Aug 2009 In Afghanistan

After reading the article on HM3, please leave a note at the end of the article. His family and shipmates read it. We have already received numerous posts.

We will be back next week, Sunday 1015 CST, 1115 EST.  with AOTC #75.

Thanks!

Da-Chief
