Included in the kit is a form which has to be filled out when sending a package to any military base(here or overseas).

Besides the soldier's name you have to say what is in the package. Personal items won't cut it. I have just been putting now cookies, crackers and other goodies and that was enough info for them to take the package. It's a good idea to have the form filled out before getting in line. The clerks have been very good at helping me if I have left something out that needs to be on the form. Pretty painless experience.

I have been using the zip-loc bags and small packages of kleen-x as packing to keep things from rattling around. I also heard that some people fold newspapers in as packing and the guys enjoy reading the stateside news.
