help you probably more than I can with some additional information. When my son-in-law was there, I was able to send him a box once a week or so...the Post Office has special boxes that are flat rate shipped to service men all over the world. I believe that they will even deliver them to you if you call them. I remember getting the boxes, labels and the tape also. I really don't know how long it takes, I believe they go to a central place and then are routed out.
Our boys need all the thoughts we can send their way. Our Mike will be leaving again, for parts unknown very soon. Thank your hubby for all of us...and may God watch over all of you.
