US Postal Service Helps Support the Troops Free of Charge!
As of 25 October 2004 the United States Postal Service is offering free packing materials to family and friends of military members who are deployed overseas (APO or FPO addresses). To take advantage of this service call: 800-610-8734 then press 1 for English and then press 3 to talk to an operator. Once you have the operator on the line, simply ask for the "Military Pack". They will send you free boxes, packing materials, tape and mailing labels. These products are to be used to mail care packages to service members.
The "Military Pack" includes the following items:
5 each - box, 12x12x8
5 each - box, 7x7x6
1 each - roll of Priority Tape
10 each - 106A address label
15 each - Form 2976A - Customs Form
15 each - Form 2976E - Envelope for Customs Form
5 each - Tyvek envelope (tear and water proof)

I called and got mine as well .. they should be here in a few days .. the sign I say in the post office calls it "Care Kit 4". That may determine what you get in your box.
But ... the interesting thing was .. I took my package to the post office to ship to J and was told that I can't put his rank on anymore as part of his address even though that is what J told me to use. The postmaster said there was some directive that came out that said no more ranks on the envelopes, boxes or custom slips and he scribbled it out on my stuff. Has anyone heard the same?

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

Ok, thanks Amy!!
DWBgirl~once you go to supplies.usps.gov on the left hand column, go to shipping supplies, personal use, and then it should bring up boxes and if you click on them, it will allow you to add them to your order and it will just say free of charge.
