Description:

This swap is open to everyone in the United States.

My fiance is in the US Army, and he's going on his first deployment in June. He will be going on a tour of the Middle East and will be gone for 9 months. I'm hoping that I can surprise him by mailing him a big box of mail from across the country!

You can send anything for him from small packages to letters to emails to postcards. The only thing I ask is that you write at least a few sentences. (more than just "thank you for your service" please!)

A little about him: His name is Nathaniel (or just Nate), he's 20 years old, and he's a giant nerd. He really likes Star Wars and Star Trek, his favorite color is green, and he loves dogs and cats. (especially dachshunds!)

For this swap, you will be given one partner to send a postcard to and I will message you the info needed to send mail to him. It will be my address and email so I can print and mail it all to him together.

If this swap goes well, I will do another before his tour is over.

Please feel free to message me any questions you may have!

Is the PC in an envie?

This might be better as a RAK in the forum - asking people to send happy mail to him.
Maybe I read this description incorrectly, but I'm confused as to what you will be sending to partners.

CraftyCathy31 - I prefer the postcard to be naked. If anyone has more to write, then by all means use an envelope! Honestly, it's sender's choice.

USAFwife - I'm relatively new to this, but I will definitely check out RAKs! Thank you for letting me know! For partners, we will send each other postcards. I will personally send thank you cards out to everyone who participates.

This sounds like one that my husband and I would both love to do, but I'm a little confused as to what exactly we would need to do. Do we send a postcard to a partner or to him along with other stuff? Oh, and is there a certain (not-easily-melted) candy that he likes? Any allergies? Dislikes? I really don't want to be a pain but I want to make sure I get it right. I know this is a lot for you to be handling all at once as it is, but any clarification would be very welcome!

Coffeeegal - Thank you so much! I messaged you.

aurelas - Hi, I thought it would be easier to message you personally to answer your questions.

If anyone else has any questions, please message me! :)
