Sending Mail to Your Cadet
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.
All mail (this includes letters, cards, magazines, packages and etc.) must be addressed to the PO Box address as that is your mailing address for receiving your mail. Please see example below.
Cadets

Currently, our post office can accept packages from FED EX, DHL and UPS that don’t send to PO Boxes. You must always try to use your PO Box address first because these shipping companies also go through the USPS mail stream. If these three companies will not let you use the PO Box address than please use the Cadet Station’s post office address but it must include your PO Box number, also. Please see example below.
