is it true that it takes a month for marines to receive the letters we send?

If the letter is going to a mil. base standard postage will do, as far as the package your local post offfice will help you.

email is a little to far due to the fact that they don't publish soldiers and marines email addresses due to security. adopt a soldier is the best way to go. a letter is better then an email anyway. I loved letters more then emails when I was overseas... because someone actually took to time out and wrote a letter... Just a thought....

Should take about two days, if mailed before pickup.\n\nI've found (for some unknown reason) that letters move faster if mailed Saturday AM from the post office.\n\nThe main post offices do work around the clock sorting mail and that sort of thing.  Mail, of course, is not delivered around the clock.

Most colleges respond in mid to late April, unless they have rolling admissions, in which case you'd hear back in 4-6 weeks as noted above.  Colleges always send letters, whether theyre for acceptance or not.

i dont think you can address a letter to "any serviceman " these days. during the viet nam war[ we just keep having them] you could do that.  check at your post office or school or local public official many communities have organisation that do just that. and good for you

About 6-7 days, you should have already gotten the letter or get it by saturday.

If you wrote air mail on it, it should take up to a week, sometimes even 3-4 days. If not, it can take up to 2, maybe 3 weeks.

Most mail should get to its location within 2-3 days, if you are sending from a U.S. address and sending your letter to a U.S. address.\n\nHowever, if the mail was important, you can probably expect the post office to lose it for at least 2 weeks, and at the most forever.\n\nForeclosureFish\nhttp://www.foreclosurefish.com/

It depends on how large of an audience you sent the piece to, and what kind of response time that you requested on it.\n\nAlso, how did you send the cards? If you sent them as post card rate, they usually take a little longer (+2 to 5 days) to get to the location than a first-class letter.\n\nThe message on the piece will dictate the response time, also. If it is a limited-time offer, people will respond quicker than if there is no deadline.\n\nWhenever I do a mail-out, I add my name to the mailing list - that way, I have some idea when it's getting to my audience.

no.\n\nthe post office is a government run institution and is run in the same manner as the dmv. if you mail a letter, it will take a day to get picked up, sorted, routed, resorted, and delivered as soon as the mail person comes back from their lunch break. \n\nits very similar to standing in line at the dmv. you wait in line, sometimes for hours, wait for a window to open up, and just when you are inching ever so closer to the window, the clerk gets up from their window desk, slaps a sign that says "back in 3 days" and then disappears into the back room never to be seen again. \n\noh, and if you mail a letter, make sure you use proper postage or it won't get there at all.

The Marines were part of a peace organization. They were caught in the middle of it all when they bombed the barracks killing our great men. I will never forget the date of Oct 22,1983 for I left for basic training Oct 23,1983. I was signed in on a Delayed Enlistment Program(DEP) that I signed while still in high school in April of 1983.

The person who sent you the letter probably was to busy to use it or doesn't know how. Most internet mail (free) and commercial offer it.
