Comment by Mandy on November 7, 2012 at 9:28am: My husband has been in boot camp for11 weeks and I never received a box of his items. I don't know what's going on and I'm growing very anxious.

Reply by Craig on October 7, 2012

For those that need Power of Attorney's (POA's) ~

Here is the forms the Navy used for it's sailors. These have been certified by the Government and have passed every legal authority possible. These will pass the test of time if challenged in a courtroom since they are made by our Government All that is needed is to change some of the wording to meet your deppers needs.

Why pay for something that you can do yourself, that uses the military lingo, and was written and reviewed by our government? Like lemonelephant says just get a free online one. To me, this is probably the best free online one that you customize.
