Just got an e-mail from Joe, thought I'd pass it along.

We're doing fine right now. Has been a real tough couple of months as of late. Lot of bad things that prevent us from getting on the internet here. Care packages have been a great boost. Still doing great things here in winning hearts and minds of the locals who don't want us here.

My guess is extra scrutiny is put on foreign mail traveling to APO addresses. They probably spend 3 weeks of that ship time in a blast proof box.
