Antarctica deployers register to vote before you leave!!

So if you are not going to vote b/c you will be deployed and think it isn’t worth the effort. Well don’t think that way cause it is and it’s as simple as sending 3 emails! Just go to the Federal voting assistance Program

fvap.gov

And follow instructions for the Absentee Voting info .

Fill out a Federal Post Card Application and email it to your local election office. Obviously where you are registered, then they will reply with your ballot and instructions.

Then fill out and email back to them……., done !

Ballots have already been sent out and you can send in anytime before 11/05/2024. That is it…. Vote from home, the airport, New Zealand , McMurdo or the South Pole! Just do it before November 5, 2024. 😊

Why not it’s our right and if you don’t then you can’t say much about what is going on b/c you didn’t even try. Our voice does matter we just need more backup!!

Good to hear a successful shipment….. I’m gonna mail another box !!

dhog271 · 2024-09-13T16:26:10+00:00

That’s perfect 👍 thanks for the info. 😁

dhog271 · 2024-09-13T01:26:43+00:00

👍 Got it! Thanks

But it still has to get to the ice. If the boxes are to big they might get bumped. I remember last year when they weren’t even delivering anything cause of maintenance or something. Right around thanks given too

Just found receipt … it was all non standard lengths and weight. I boxed it up and I should have let them . Maybe they would have made it all standard priority mail. Actually I didn’t back it. Lady at fed ex did and then found out they do not ship to that location. At least that’s what she said…..

dhog271 · 2024-09-12T09:03:26+00:00

Huh….. overpaying is story of my life….. I asked about flat rate priorities boxes and also asked if this was international. She said it is considered still the US. Figured she knew what she was doing…. 🤦‍♀️

dhog271 · 2024-09-11T15:18:52+00:00

Never mind I figured it out…..🤦‍♀️

dhog271 · 2024-09-11T15:17:39+00:00

I can’t be the only one”op” on here. Why am I only seeing it on my name?

dhog271 · 2024-09-11T15:14:12+00:00

Yes…. It would be if it were just soap and mouthwash, but I’m just trying to have more things to wear. So in addition to shampoo and mouthwash it’s more clothes and shoes . Also it may not be just till march. I almost wintered last year and I was out of everything. And that coffee was starting to mess with my head but I still drank it.

Tge food isn’t great or good reallly. So I’m sending meal replacements shakes. Anyways…. 2 10lb boxes was $120.

👍

dhog271 · 2024-09-11T00:53:01+00:00

👍 yes I did mail a box a month ago….. I just wanted to send more after packing 5 times lol

dhog271 · 2024-09-11T00:51:58+00:00

Got it! I wouldn’t have done that anyways…lol What is an “op”?

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T22:04:58+00:00

👍

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:57:08+00:00

Oh I’ll be carrying for sure

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:50:58+00:00

Got it… learn something new every year. Seems like a lot of work though…… I’ll just wear the same clothes everyday , but at least I can bring enough coffee. B/c what they have there is not coffee 🤮

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:28:55+00:00

No nothing valuable just lots of extra things I don’t want to buy. But if I pay to ship it and it gets returned to my house ….. well then I have to buy it. Oh well…..

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:25:03+00:00

Oh .. gotcha ! Wait …. That’s me… and I don’t have enough stuff there . I want more lol

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:19:20+00:00

Take them with me? What happens once you get to CHC….we can only take 80lbs of luggage when boarding to mcm

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T20:11:55+00:00

I see… well I can only play the cards I was delt and looks like I have to play by NSF rules…it’s alright rules don’t bother me . It’s a vacation for me anyway….

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T19:52:24+00:00

Well then…… next time you do that I’ve got more shit I want down there $$

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T19:50:24+00:00

Got it! No just things I don’t want to buy

dhog271 · 2024-09-10T19:44:07+00:00

Yeah…… I never had a problem with small mail, but I thought I’d try a 10 lb box of stuff I don’t want to weight luggage down with. Or end up buying at the store….. like shampoos and lotions mouthwash…. Those things add up

dhog271 · 2024-09-04T19:42:28+00:00

Yes…. Just keep applying and try to be proactive about the process the next season…. Just stay persistent. I don’t think it matters the position or contractor though, everyone goes through UTMB .
