02 Apr 2006:
We're alive and well on the Cape St. George, and as we enter our last leg of the deployment excitement is ramping up. Everyone's support has been super and thanks to your support, we've had fresh t-shirtts and socks despite the fact our laundry has been down much of the time due to various issues. We want to thank you all for everything, it really has been much more than we expected, and you guys have went "above and beyond". FC3(SW) Bryon Burgan
10 Feb 2006 Well, we've recently just finished a VERY long stretch at sea, and have just started our second stretch. The support from all you guys was instrumental in getting us through it! The guys were all over the beef jerky (A very hot item) and the cup-o-soups. But then again, there was absolutely nothing that people didn't like so far, so on behalf of my division, thank you so very much!, FC3(SW) Bryon Burgan
22 Dec 2005 Sorry it took so long to check in, I’ve been very very very busy lately. Can’t say why, but heck, you pretty much know the very very general gist of what us sailors do on deployment. Sail around, patrol, and patrol s’more. Anyway, I’m doing great and the response so far has been amazing! I’ve been handing out stuff like no one’s business, and I can confidently say my shipmates are pretty happy about it. There are probably a couple of other people signing up to this site on our ship for their own departments, but right now I’m going ahead and sharing with everyone. Thanks for you guys’ support, this thing is awesome! Very Respectfully, FC3(SW) Burgan
28 Nov 2005 I am representing my ship in this, so some of the sailors who have no one to send them stuff can get some care packages, since those always seem to lift all of our moods. We are the sailors of USS Cape St. George, we are homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, and have been abroad for about a month now, so our deployment is fresh. Our ship is often out to sea, as we were out 60 out of 90 days before we deployed here, and will only be home one month before we go back out to sea when we return. I, specifically, am FC3(SW) Burgan, an AEGIS Fire Controlman responsible for maintaining the AEGIS Missile Systems. Among my many double jobs I double as my Division's Public Affairs Assistant. I wanted to do this for mostly the newer guys, who forgot to bring certain things or don't have anyone to send them anything. I know a program like this on my last deployment really lifted my spirits up, even when we were staying up for 3-4 days at a time doing combat operations. I just want to make it clear how much a difference these things make. Mostly people have been asking for foods. We have a microwave available for our use. Specific items people like are Ramen Noodles (In the cup form or in the regular packages, it doesn't matter), beef jerkey, cigarettes (Our ship runs out of them often, and some of the newer guys can't afford them), magazines, books (A big one, everyone I asked wanted books), black pens, black socks, and white tee shirts. All of these are want items, not need items, we realise there are Marines on the beach with much worse living conditions than us. We appreciate anything people can send our way. God bless.

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.)
