Their biggest needs.

SureFire flash lights (red lens)
Surefire batteries -
DVD's ( new or used)
Movies (new or used)
A Christmas card to boost moral.

Update, Life is a little easier now, most people have been given a tent "home" where they can keep personal belongings between missions. It can be days or weeks in between seeing their tent. It's still better than only being able to own what you can haul.

Speaking from a wife and mothers point of view deployment has been a little tough. Not only the obvious things like will they be alright? But having my husband miss birthdays, lost teeth, q baby learning to talk and all the holidays. Trying to comfort crying children who don't understand what's going on and why their Daddy doesn't come home.

Mail is VERY slow at times it, can be halted for weeks These men will be spending Christmas in Iraq. Please mail very early to see that anything you send reaches them on time.

Thank you all for your support!
The Rossell family

Hi, First let me thank you. Two packages were sent out to this unit.

I want you all to understand what life is like for them but at the same time without saying to much.
The convoy my husband is in was hit last week. Everyone will be ok in the end but I know it was scary. My husbands foot prints stood not two feet from a bomb. More than one were found after being hit by the first.

I am just so glad everyone is ok.

I have been told that most of them do have the adaptors for our electric plugs.

My husband often says he wonders if people here are thinking of them.Don't feel you must send them a package to say thank you. They need to know that people care and are indeed thinking of them!

One month down 6 to go!!!

Hello, My name is Kristi. I am the wife of E02 Robert Rossell. I am sending this request because this unit is without e-mail.

A little bit about my husband. Robert is an Equipment operator with the Seabees. He has 5 small children and myself waiting for him in CA.
This unit lives on the ground and in tents.

Top priority is called a BLSS kit ( Basic
liner suspension kit)
This is padding for the kevlar helmet. To say the least padding is nice to have!This should not be an item they do without!

Black gloves with no fingers

AT&T Global pre paid calling cards. Please know that for every 1 min they talk 15 or more units are used up

White socks

Brown T shirts ( worn snug so size med and large should fit most men)

DVD's

CDs

Hand held games or gameboy type things
They spend 18-22 hours awake and on guard. They would like something to wind down to before passing out.

jerky-hard candy (please send a few zip lock bags. When they open it they need to keep the bugs and sand out)

IMPORTANT! DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE!!!

Why? Because this list changes all the time due to unit movements, soldier transfers, or even soldier casualties.
It is also illegal. ALL content on this site is copyright Any Soldier Inc.
DO NOT send any letter or package to a soldier's address unless you check this web site the same day you mail your packages.
Please do not burden the soldiers or the APO/FPO by sending things when the soldiers are gone. If a soldier is not listed here anymore then that soldier's address is expired. Check here often!

Note that some of the units do not have ranks shown on their addresses.
This is done at the unit's request, but ALL of our contacts ARE Servicemembers.

Be sure to change the "ATTN" line to "ATTN: Any Female Sailor if your package is for a female!

DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply!
DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a Sailor!
A supporter said it perfectly, "I mean, these guys and gals have other things on their minds, y’know? Like...oh, STAYING ALIVE?"

(NOTE *): Effective 1 May 2006 this web site added a major layer of security to our contacts' information. This change is necessary to protect our troops and ensure that Any Soldier will continue to operate.
The ONLY changes are that the addresses of our contacts are now hidden and the number of addresses you can get are limited. You may obtain addresses simply by clicking on the link provided and correctly filling out the form, the address will then be emailed to you immediately.

(NOTE **): The number shown is how many times a form was submitted requesting this address. This does NOT necessarily mean that this contact will be helped by that many folks. Rule of thumb is that anything 5 requests or less may in fact be no support at all. No way to tell exactly unless the contact lets you know in his/her update how much support they are getting.

(Note 1.): Note that postage to APO AE and FPO AE (E = Europe) is only to NY where the connection to the APO/FPO (APO = Army Post Office)(FPO = Fleet Post Office) is, or to San Francisco for APO AP and FPO AP (P = Pacific), so you don't pay postage all the way to Iraq/Afghanistan. You might consider picking contacts closer to your mailing area to help cut the cost of mailing. If you live on the East Coast, pick "AE", West Coast, pick "AP", Midwest, well...uh, Thank You for your Support! ;)

New with us (December 2005) you might notice "APO AA" and "FPO AA". This is for units in the Caribbean/South America. Normally. However, due to the nature of some units they may be in Iraq but have an address showing "FPO AA". Mail addresses to "AA" goes out of Miami, Florida.

(Note 2.): Why are military addresses weird? There isn't a street address or city. What gives? Correct, just about everything about the military is weird to civilians. Military units are very mobile, they move around a lot, often they even become part of another unit. The APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) assign APO and FPO numbers as needed, they are NOT static. An APO/FPO number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO/FPO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.

(Note 3.): The "Expect to not mail past" date is only an approximate and is one of the least reliable things on this web site. It is because of this that you must check often before you send anything to this unit. There are a few reasons this date is not reliable, to include: it IS the Military, we ARE dealing with the APO/FPO/DPO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a Contact is dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their date leaving to help avoid mail bouncing.

(Note 4.): (Removed for OPSEC reasons)

(Note 5.): The lines, "Contact with approx number of Soldiers:" and "Approx how may Female Soldiers:" have NOTHING to do with unit strength. They are approximately how many other Troops the Contacts believe they can get packages to. This helps you understand that you should not send 100 packages to someone who only deals with 10 Troops.
Don't forget that if your package is for a female Soldier, be sure to change "ATTN: Any Soldier®" to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier".

( Note 6.): This is simply where the unit this contact is from. This is NOT a true picture of the folks in the unit as most all units are made up of folks from all over the United States.) A "Composite Unit" is one made up of other units and is usually temporary for a particular mission.

( Note 7.): Updated APO/FPO/DPO mailing restrictions> courtesy of Oconus.com (gone now) (Note: About Restriction "U2": "U2 - Limited to First Class Letters", Box "R" is for retired personnel that live overseas and are still authorized an APO/FPO box. Their address will be something like Box 3345R. Doubt you will see anything like that in Afghanistan or Iraq or ...)(Please Note: Sometime in August 2013, Oconus.com changed the code on their page and our form doesn't work with them anymore, so a link to their page is the best we can do, sorry.)
