Deployed Soldier In Need Of Advice

I am a deployed Soldier serving in Iraq and I am in the market for a new road bike. This will be my 1st road bike. There are several questions i have. Thougth research i found that i will need a 56cm/Large bike. I am 5'10, 175 LBS. My budget is $500-$800. I know this will only get me a enrty level bike. However I am planning on riding 100-150mi a week.

Here are my concerns.

1. Alot of sellers wont ship to an APO address
- my question is do any you know a seller that ship via USPS or DHL

2. I found a bike that i really like. Just one question. As i stated I am 5'10" and i think i will need a Large size bike. This bike is a Medium/54cm. Will this bike be too uncomfortable or too small.
