04 Apr 2006:

Our time is coming to a close.. a new group will be taking over. I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts, prayers and prizes you have sent our way. The support from you has carried us through this experience. We are going home to our family's now and will continue our lives. Although we are strangers, we are fellow Americans and have a shared interest in Freedom. My sense of pride is indescribable. Please know that you have forever touched our hearts and you will always be in our prayers.

I will pass the anysailor information on to our replacements. Maybe somebody in the next group will want to be a local representative for them and will continue with this invaluable service.

Thank you again,
I pray God's Will be done in all our lives...   J. Hope Odom

We are still here and taking things one day at a time. I just wanted to let everyone know that we appreciate your thoughts and prayers. It is getting harder to deal with being away and isolated. I think the newness and novelty of being here is wearing off. People are getting cranky and general illness is on the rise. Please keep us in your prayers and we will see this thing thru until our mission is complete.

I think most of us here are very glad the major holidays are behind us. I noticed everyone getting quieter and staying more to themselves at Christmas. Now that it is done, we can move on and know that we are one milestone closer to coming home.

The stocking stuffer project seemed to go over well. We stuffed goodies for several hours three different days. I did not get enough stockings in for everyone, so we used socks instead. The socks also made a nice gift. Each stocking/sock had mail, personal care items, food & candy items and some type of small gift item. All of the goods included were sent from supporters thru the anysailor or anysoldier programs. Thank you all for the support!!

We delivered the stuffed stockings/socks to each berthing site in boxes and let each member pick up his/her prize. No two were alike. You should’ve seen us sneaking around to place the boxes… we had fun!

We used the Christmas decorations to put up a tree in one of the local gathering areas for everyone to enjoy. We did Christmas Eve caroling by candlelight at the tree. One of the girls here actually dressed up in a Santa suit and many of the sailors had their picture taken with Santa. Some members wanted to ignore the holiday season, but most everyone seemed to appreciate our efforts.

Please accept my gratitude for all that you have done. The support is truly appreciated. I can still be reached right here and will continue to share anything that comes our way. Thank you very much.   J. Hope Odom   aka   Odie :)

Dear Support Team,

I want to thank you all for facilitating this medium that keeps soldiers/sailors in touch with America. I have started receiving packages and letters. They all have filled me with pride and joy. The emotions is sometimes overwhelming and I tear up. I share the wares with everyone and presently plan to use items as stocking stuffers. I want all our members to feel supported and stay connected to our homeland. Thank you all for allowing this to happen.

You guys are blessed angels - Thank you!

Serving with pride,
J H Odom

We are a Reserve Navy Cargo Handling Battalion made up of folks from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisianna, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, California, Texas, Utah, Arizona, Virginia and Washington... I hope I haven't left anybody out.

These are some great guys and gals. I am worried about them having to spend the holidays away from home. This seems like a great opportunity to ensure our members receive something from the states that remind them they are loved and supported.

It is difficult for me to narrow down specific suggestions. I feel like I am speaking for everyone and we are all different. I do know that any encouraging and supportive words can go a long way to boost someone who might be feeling lonely and disassociated from their home.

We are packed tightly into open-bay style barracks and isolated to our living space and our work areas. We work long hours in a hot dirty environment. When we do have down time, we do not have privacy.

I have noticed that people seem to enjoy their books, magazines and music for entertainment. Some also have laptops that allows them to watch movies. I would suggest any type of personal entertainment equipment and accessories would be much appreciated. This might also include boardgames, puzzles or puzzle books, entertainment center games (playstation games, x-box games etc).

We do have access to an AAFES PX here at the camp, but items are limited. Maybe AAFES gift cards would be nice. Hard to find items for us would include holiday decorations and magnet frames (which would go well with our metal lockers).

I would like to thank all who are involved with these efforts. I will do what I can, from this end, to ensure that these sailors and soldiers get back home safe and sane.

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.)
