According to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), holiday letters and cards going first-class to military APO/FPO addresses overseas must be sent by Dec. 10 to arrive by Dec. 25, 2007. Each country has customs regulations that apply to all incoming mail, pertaining to everything from food items to reading materials. Military units may also have additional restrictions concerning incoming mail imposed by unit commanders relative to size and weight to ensure logistics support can handle the heavy mail load. And, all packages and mail must now be addressed to individual servicemembers as required by U.S. Department of Defense regulations. For more information, visit the MPSA website.
