I'm currently deployed overseas and am interested in purchasing a FP laser and NVG combo that I can test and train with while here. I know that both the items I'm looking to purchase are ITAR restricted, and while this is likely a stupid question, is it possible to ship these items to the APO address for where I am?

I am not looking to get around the rules, I am just wondering if there is a military exemption for circumstances like mine and if there's some kind of supporting documentation I should have if I was going to proceed with purchase/shipment. I've tried doing some reading on ITAR but haven't been able to decipher if exemptions exist for my scenario. I know there's some ITAR savvy folks here so hoping I can get pointed in the right direction!
 
An APO address should essentially be the same as a domestic address, but I would contact the dealer first because while it may be legal they may not be comfortable with it. Then again, many commercial dealers now get ITAR paperwork signoff on sales anyway, putting the onus on the buyer to be compliant (as far as I'm aware).
