Items not to send

Due to concerns for the health and safety of the Soldiers, and as much as we don't want to say this, please do not send home-cooked anything to Soldiers other then to your relatives or people who know you. Factory packaged only. Sorry. The Soldiers are told to throw away anything that is not in a factory package.

T-Shirts must be Brown for Army and Navy, Green for Marines, Black or Brown for Air Force.

ALL items which contain liquids and pastes (even in cans), put in a zip-lock bag, and a second one up-side-down from the first one. If an item can leak, it will. 

Flea collars are not recommended. They are for animals not humans and can cause infection.
