but its worth the price when the battle is won.
And remember he's thinking of you every day,
he's sad and he's lonely while so far away.
So love him and miss him and hold your head high,
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for loving a Sailor!

So when you are shipping boxes understand that the United States Post Office is only shipping the box to the Navy (FPO- Fleet Post Office)... from there it goes out to the AP (Asia Pacific) warehouse to be routed to the ship or base according to the zip code and location of the ship, squadron, unit, etc.
So don't worry about insurance... it is only insured until it gets to the Navy... don't worry about tracking... it is only tracked until it is delivered to the Navy...
Also... I have found that the flat rate boxes or that sized box makes it quicker to the ship... they can pack it onto a pallet with all the others much easier so it goes out much quicker!

Wanted to say hello. My name is Dawn & my son Brian just joined the ship last week in Panama. He has known since last July that he was going to join this crew. At that time he was doing his cranking deployment on the USS Pearl Harbor before returning to old ship and complete the USS Ford's decommissioning. He was excited to hear that his new ship would be out on deployment but sad to hear about it's upcoming decomm. He's looking forward to getting to know his new crew members and will be most respectful of their limited time remaining together. On a lighter note, Congrats to the Rentz for is accomplishments during this cruise.

No problem... I don't blame you for asking!! I did the same thing before I used one... and now I have used one for years... They are non toxic.. I had the dog handlers research before we sent them to them... as long as the guys dont chew and ingest the beads they are ok!!

Susan, please don't take this the wrong way, but is this stuff safe for the guys to have around their necks?

I live in California and this stuff should be mandatory in planting everything because of the cost and abuse of water. It got up to100 today.
