They will probably be close to the same dates for the mailout last year.<br /><br />No pork products of any kind are to be sent to the Middle East. Please pay attention to restrictions, whether they're banned imports or they are not safe to fly, it’s best not to break these rules. In the Middle East it is illegal to import pork or pork products, doesn't matter what they are for.<br /><br />I'm not sure what you mean when you mention greenies, can you tell me which post in the blog they are at? I can check and see what is meant by that.<br /><br />The normal addresses to send parcels to military members deployed overseas are in the right column of this blog and they are specific to the areas where our military members are serving (they are serving on other areas, but these may not be publicised, or there are very few Aussies represented there).<br /><br /><br />kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819693069445947851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-35355142836471044132012-10-17T00:11:10.050+11:002012-10-17T00:11:10.050+11:00Hi
