Thanks for your time and effort!!!

It's amazing how good you can get packing those flat rate boxes; 12-16 pounds or more.

I seal liquids and odorous items with a vac sealer.

On section (17) of the customs form I check the "Redirect to Address Below:" box and write in "Any US Soldier at this APO." That way the package will not be sent back to you (which you may be charged for) and the contents will still go to one of "our" finest.
