New Address

I've recently moved to a new base. Don't worry, if you've sent something my way, I should still get it. However my new address is:

Michael Murphy
RPAC - N/Echo base
Mazar - e - Sharif
APO AE 09354

I have also rec'd multiple emails from family members informing me that the post office said that the zip code was "invalid." To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing wrong, invalid, or incorrect with this zip code. My only guess is that the "system" doesn't recognize the new zip codes for Iraq or Afghan destinations... You would think that after being over here for six years the US Post Office would "get it." I've been here over six months, and this is the first time that I've heard of any issues, so I'm also thinking that maybe there was a change-over in software or the computer systems so that the zip is not "recognized" when they enter it into the system... Just a guess, of course.

Rest assured, there is still plenty of time to get your packages in the mail... wink, wink. Hope you are all doing well and having a safe and happy holidays.

Michael
