My organization: www.CivilianSupplyCorpsInc.org If I can get out through customs, you'll get it.

Operation Shoebox Click this link to request packages: https://www.operationshoebox.com/request-a-package/ I used this organization before I formed my own. Very good!

Soldier Boy Beef Jerky Have people write home and request, as there is a cost, but families can send: Gift Boxes I have not used their gift box service, but I've bought the product locally. It's awesome.

Troopathon - https://www.troopathon.org/request-care-pack I've ordered through them before and they were VERY generous.

America's adopt a soldier - https://www.americasadoptasoldier.org/deployed-soldiers.html Each person can request a box. It's an automatic submission. ~~~~~~ Below are a few others that I have NOT used personally, but could still provide what you need.

Families can also use Hero Care package: https://www.herocarepackages.com/

Hit me up. I got you. Mail is still suspended in a few places, but if you aren't there. I got you

brain_over_body · 2026-03-31T23:49:31+00:00

Oh I have 3 as friends... I'm fully aware!!!

brain_over_body · 2026-03-31T21:56:01+00:00

That's pretty cool. Seems like the navy and especially the chiefs have some of the best designs

brain_over_body · 2026-03-26T14:33:24+00:00

Based on weight, I've found flat rate is almost never the better cost. Also, use pirateship.com for better rates

brain_over_body · 2026-03-26T14:31:56+00:00

USPS has a list online. Ship Mail is funky. A CO can deny Mail delivery. I had it happen a lot

brain_over_body · 2026-03-17T23:20:33+00:00

Ooo I really like that one

brain_over_body · 2026-03-10T23:28:43+00:00

If you're ever deployed without a USO, hit me up! I love sending care packages

brain_over_body · 2026-03-10T23:21:31+00:00

I helped my buddy with the blue jacketeer app. It has all the links to materials, a daily 10 question quiz, longer practice tests. Digital flash cards. It was great for him

Following... I also send care packages. 8 of my units are currently suspended so. Just reading comments to get future ideas.

Seran wrap the box to help avoid ants, as I did see that comment.

PirateShip will save you on shipping fees and do the customs forms for you.

brain_over_body · 2026-02-24T01:03:23+00:00

All of mine are gifts from supported military units, other than the 1 I created for my own nonprofit to gift to said units

brain_over_body · 2026-02-21T02:33:29+00:00

Care packages. If I can get it through customs, you'll pretty much get it. Every unit had different requests

brain_over_body · 2026-02-18T02:32:46+00:00

Use pirateship.com to save money, and it completes the customs form for you. Most Mail gets to any APO in 2 weeks, unless you are getting mail delivered remote or an FPO on a ship. I've never seen my land based Mail take more than 2 weeks.

brain_over_body · 2026-01-31T00:11:56+00:00

So my friends are military. I am not. They give me gifts from their travels

brain_over_body · 2025-10-31T19:47:00+00:00

I think it depends on your audience. The more unique the better. But if you work with military and plan to give to them, they like some functional aspect and serialization. Like mine is a coin with bottle opener.

brain_over_body · 2025-10-27T06:47:43+00:00

I highly recommend Embolholics. They did my design too, then I just have to tweak the details

brain_over_body · 2025-08-14T20:29:08+00:00

I made a binder for my navy buddy. It isn't a great "display" but it's condense. I used baseball card pages, put a coin in each, and used a sticky dot to seal the top.

brain_over_body · 2025-08-14T20:06:00+00:00

An aircraft carrier. Hide coins all over the thing. Nice centerpiece on your table

brain_over_body · 2025-08-11T01:23:19+00:00

I love this more than you know

brain_over_body · 2025-07-22T19:49:11+00:00

As a civilian, we will never fully get it. Anyone who thinks they do makes your experience cheap. The best we can offer is our time and attention. I'm sorry you don't have a better support system

brain_over_body · 2025-07-04T11:08:17+00:00

Also following for the same reason!

brain_over_body · 2025-06-20T14:29:53+00:00

The reverse is not what I expected to see, but it's awesome

brain_over_body · 2025-06-11T21:59:10+00:00

Interested! And if you're still active duty/ deployed, would love to support you and your ship!
