I posted the Ombudsman contact info in the April Deployment discussion above. This was public information posted on the Truman FRG FB page.

I'm guessing it's probably a minimum of 2 weeks and maybe even 3. It will be interesting to see...
Don't forget to wear your RED tomorrow!
one day closer.......

I put a package in the mail on the 16th. According to my sailor he hasn’t received it as of early this morning. He was hoping the mail would catch them soon.

I sent a box today. Tracking only stateside then it goes into the magic zone! Ha! I asked him to let me know how long things take to reach them so I will update when I can! Last time it seemed to take up to a couple of weeks.

Hi all - Happy Thursday!
kdshow - I don't have an answer for you - hopefully someone will chime in. I even checked the FB group but couldn't find an answer......

Has anyone gotten confirmation that your Sailor has received mail and/or packages. Just curious for an ETA for packages to arrive.

Redsmom - I do remember on the USPS boxes that weight is not an issue but I don't remember what you do for the weight on the customs forms.......do you have to list it? I think that's one of the issues that Kristy is having.

If you are using the USPS boxes that are "if it fits, it ships" then weight is not an issue! Pack it up nice and full then just send it!

Good morning all - Happy Wednesday!
Kristy - if I remember when I did the customs form I didn't list each item separately. I would list "snacks" and "personal hygiene" which would cover multiple items. Hopefully someone who is doing it now will chime in for you with updated info. If nothing else for the first time take the box to the post office (maybe even leave it open) and have them help you fill out the forms - then you'll know how they want it! I've heard different post offices even give out different info on how to complete the forms. Hang in there - you'll get it ;-D

Good morning, I know I ask a lot of questions that have been answered I just can’t help it. When mailing packages do you need to fill out two or more custom forms if you have more then four items in a box since that’s all that’s on the paper for slots? I got my sailor peanuts, rasins, deodorant, bars of soap, pretzels , socks and some other stuff. Also how do you put the weight for each item on it? Bathroom scale? I feel lost with this :-/
