the other thing I want to know if there is any kind of way to send items to someone here in the us at a base and then have them ship it for free via their military drop offs.

The reason that I say this is because of the costs of sending heavy packages via the post office. Fed ex ground is quite cheap for me and I could send a 15 pound package with all kinds of stuff in it here in the US. But a 15 pound package insured via USPS will be quite a bit more expensive unless it contains only media mail qualified items.
