My son loves me to send “cake in a jar”…stays super moist in heat sealed mason jar. Send canned icing and chocolate yahoo in a box and instant party! He reuses the mason jars! I send them in the free military boxes for about $13 per box. Wrap in bubble wrap ( he lives popping it later)-I can get 5-6 jars per one box mix! I have been “ordered” to send w/ every care package! I recently sent 5 boxes at once…the entire line behind me took notes on what I was sending…hope that means more service members got to eat cake!

Thanks for the update. The smallest of the flat rate boxes are about $6 and I think this was the reference, again depending on the weight of the package sometimes the priority boxes are cheaper.

Thanks for pointing this out, you are definitely right. We try to be very conscious of this but occasionally each of us slips up and refers to the branch that we are affiliated/experienced with. Thanks though for pointing it out, we definitely did not mean to exclude anyone!

MMMMMMMM, mid-mission, mid-desert hot plate chili (tongue hanging out Homer style)…

Also I thought it was cute that she went on about wiping faces and such but didn’t mention the use that 90% of those baby wipes will have (for guys who leave the wire on long missions, anyway): the closest thing to a shower you’ll see for the next few days/weeks. Yeah I know, gross, but just imagine how gross it is not even having a wipe.

Calling our Military “Soldier” is only for the US Army, US Marines are Marines, US Navy are Sailors, USAF are Airmen or Airman. Please correct.
