So they said no and you're looking for a way to convince them otherwise?

@snake020 According to the Department of Defense Postal Manual, Appendix 1:

Use of the MPS by these individuals and units will be limited to official correspondence between the Reservists and Reserve units, their CONUS headquarters, and Service schools.
