Sgt Grit Marine Forums

Hello! My Marine - well, he's not mine, I'm just a friend - has requested him I send liquid air. He's in Iraq right now. He says it helps to clean everything. Do you guys know what that is? Highly pressurized air that condenses to liquid in the bottle? I'm having trouble finding someone willing to ship it. The only suggestion I've gotten so far is to send it with other things, and 'forget' to put it on the list for when it gets checked at customs. That's a little backhanded, I'd like to find a different way to send it without being so tricky.

 

 

Also, I'm making a pseudo-care package for his fiance because she's hurting right now from his deployment. I've gotten chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate, really nice shower stuff, and a book called something like 'How to Make Out in Japanese' because she's obsessed in the best way with that language and he said he was going to learn it for her, which has gotten her excited. She's on the other side of the state, so I'm not having shipping problems (unfortunately I don't have a free day do go visit her until the school year gets out), but as wives and girlfriends of Marines, is there anything you wish someone had sent you during this time? She's in the college dorms right now, so no insense or flammable things are allowed or else I'd get her scented candles. Thank you for your help! I love and admire you guys, stay strong :D

Ok. I also sent my marine air and I had to "forget to list it" Sorry hun. that's pretty much the way it has to be done. no one will ship it. just pack it safely. I wraped mine in lots of bubble wrap.

Thanks :) I guess I'll give it a shot.

Yep, I shipped one over, i wrapped it and put it in a big ziplock.  Just don't mention it.

The more I think about the more I wonder...how do you get away with it? And if for some reason they do find it, what happens? I'm a little hesitant, I don't want to get anything on my record that will jepordize my enlistment later on!

 

My family shipped M liquid air all the time - ie me, my mother, my father.... I'm sure that his mother sent some too.... and we all just "forgot" to write it on the customs form.... its really the only way to get it to them.... but then again its the same thing you would have to do to send him energy drinks. Just wrapp it in a large plastic ziploc baggie and then bubble wrapp it... We never had any trouble sending it to M, but if your really hesitant see if someone would send a care package for you, or a friend of yours....Just put it together but have them put their name on it and ship it for you....
