Question for current or former military people (or family members)...

[PapaBear]

My son wants me to ship him his Dungeons & Dragons books to Iraq. Those things are heavy, and I'm sure it's going to cost a fortune. He's paying for it, but still... Do any of you know if there are any organizations that will help with something like this? I'm going to ask the USO tomorrow, but I wanted to find out if anyone here has any experience with something like this.

Thanks!

go to the post office first
i think they have something called APO
you just pay US rates,
like you were shipping a box to Cleveland

it is only for shipments to military folks

Whoa, cool! I always wondered what APO was. Thanks!

Thanks again, Dude! I just found the info on this. In case anyone else has the same problem, HERE (http://www.bootsonground.com/usps-shipping-faq.htm) is a link with the rates and other info. Now, he will have something to do besides playing Call of Duty, when he's not on patrols!:clap:

Yeah, what Dude said. Just be sure your son gives you his mailing address with the APO number and that should be good. And tell him to be safe!
