Word of
advice to all friends and family members that send care packages!
Make sure
when filling out the address on the box (and on your customs form) that you put
the ENTIRE 9 digit zip code (example: 96661-1283).
The zip code helps determine the name of the Ship its being sent to.
For example, all US ships that start with the letter
"B" have zip codes starting with 96661. So, if you only put the first
five numbers it will eventually get there but will take twice as long
since
they have to figure out which Ship you are talking about. And of course,
include the Department/Division, this help the Ships crew to pass the
care package to your Sailor. Just a friendly
reminder.
Hope this answers a few questions that I've been asked :)
Also, if you need help filling out a "customs form" let me know, I'll be glad to help. I can a post on "how to" as well.
Stay strong!
