Back when I was in the military, a small batch of "ANY SERVICEMEMBER" mail showed up at our unit in Korea in 1995. It should have gone to U.S. forces in Bosnia I think, but somehow we ended up with it. It looked like the letters were written as part of a class project, from a school in Anthony, NM if I remember correctly (outside of El Paso). A surprising number of the letters were badly written, and reading more of them we saw that there were just random words with no coherency. Some of these kids I guess had zero interest in what they were doing. I took pity on one mediocre letter and mailed a "reverse care" package with Korean candy and chocolates, and never got so much as a thank you. I guess what I should have done is gathered up the crap letters and mailed them to the school superintendent.

When my hubby is deployed the flat-rate boxes are a godsend. You can pack a whole lot of goodness in that box, more than you can imagine. My one piece of added advice is to eschew packing materials whenever possible. I wrap breakables in new undies and socks and work-out shorts that I take out of the package and use instead of those evil styrofoam peanuts.

The only thing that they did is just package it all together. I've ordered all types of shipping boxes, forms, and stickers from the site. Technically it's illegal to order the products (ie boxes) and use it for any other purposes other than shipping.
