Sending Mail to Your Cadet

Using packing tape to seal a package.

Staying in touch with your cadet is easier when family and friends have the correct mailing information. Our postmaster has provided tips and helpful instructions to make snail mail a breeze no matter which mail carrier you use.

TOP TIP: Please DO NOT mail packages during Aug/Jan months due to cadets ordering schoolbooks online. This delays the cadets being ready for class.


 

Post Office sign

All mail (letters, cards, magazines, packages, etc.) must be addressed to the P.O. Box, as that is the correct mailing address. Please see the example below.

Cadets

John Doe
P.O. Box #### (cadet’s P.O. Box number)
USAF Academy, CO 80841-(cadet’s P.O. Box number)

Prep School

John Doe
P.O. Box #### (cadet candidate’s P.O. Box number)
USAF Academy, CO 80840-(cadet candidate’s P.O. Box number)

 

Delivery Logos, FedEx, UPS, DHL.

 

The Cadet Post Office can accept packages from FedEx, DHL, and UPS that don’t send to P.O. Boxes. Always use the P.O. Box address first because these shipping companies go through the U.S. Postal Service mail stream. If they will not let you use the P.O. Box address, please use the Cadet Post Office street address. However, it must include the P.O. Box number. Please see the example below..

Cadets

John Doe
2360 Vandenberg Dr #(cadet’s P.O. Box number)
USAF Academy, CO 80841-(cadet’s P.O. Box number)

Prep School

John Doe
5136 Community Center Dr. #(cadet candidate’s P.O. Box number)
USAF Academy, CO 80840-(cadet candidate’s P.O. Box number)

*Only packages coming from FedEx, UPS, and DHL that will not accept just your P.O. Box address should have the street address of the cadet station post office included.*
