Let me tell you, when I was deployed, I *could* order my own things on the rare occasion I could access the internet, and then I usually had to wait about 6 weeks or more to receive it. When I had the chance, I ordered basics that I couldn't get at the ships store, not really extras.
But when I received a package, be it from family with treats or a letter from a kindergartner with a cute drawing and an almost illegible, but super sweet note, it would make my MONTH.
There isn't room for a bunch of books on board a ship or in a pack, so a kindle or reading device would have been a godsend. As it was, I didn't read.
This seems like a really neat program, OP thanks for posting it!
