Guess I'm a stalker. My sailor is in Yokosuka & assigned to a cruiser. Just back from being forward deployed in support of the Reagan. He won't be coming home but will be taking time at new year. sending off his Christmas package this week - uses flat is the best & the folks at our post office are so great at getting our boxes & forms done right. We have our marine in Okinawa & his package goes out this week too. No time home this year over holidays - his command let him come home twice for funerals. Thank goodness for technology. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas, or a wonderful holiday that you celebrate.

I haven't been on in a few days and this site exploded. LOL. Good to hear from so many people. Sorry for all of you missing your sailors this Christmas.
My sailor made the drive across country from New York to San Diego. He is still sick, heading to the hospital today. He is supposed to fly to Virginia Beach on Thursday for training. He received a NAM and other awards for his time recruiting. The day he was leaving he heard that a young 22 year old girl that he had just put in died of a heart attack overnight. It was such a shock.
I'll catch up more later and post a picture of my grandson.
Forgot, welcome new moms. I can't wait to hear all of your stories.

No, you do not need to put Yokosuka or Japan. The "FPO AP" is what stands in place of the city and state. It is in the military mail system, so they know where ot goes by that and the zip code.

Good evening everyone I'm getting ready to mail a package to my son for Christmas however he sent an address to me I don't know if this is the complete address I don't want to give the address online but do you include the city or state or country because he didn't send a country he just said his name and E3and then Box number and then and the FPO address but I didn't see anything That said Yokosuka Japan doesn't it have to say that in the address on the box as well. Does the mail service note to send that to Japan with just the info that I gave example all my son sent was
Name E3
PCS ---
Box A
FPO AP 11111-1111
The 1's are just numbers I put in I didn't put the address that he sent me does that look like an address do I have to put the country as well
Thanks
