Well, it’s been awhile since I have updated the website. Everything is well here and the weather is getting hotter by the day. It is so hot that we just stay indoors. It has been windy here too. It is said that August is the peak month for the temperature to be hot. Well see I guess. So far it is the truth. Not much else going on here. Here a few pictures of my boss and I and my friend and I.

I have received several packages from different people around the states. I really and truly appreciate everything that everyone has done. The packages have helped out my fellow shipmates and I. The female appreciated the female hygiene products. Thanks again.

Hope all is doing well. Take care.

ADDRESS HAS CHANGED

02 Jul 2006
I was moved to a different unit somewhere in Iraq. Since I have been here, I have been tasked with a lot of work. I am constantly in and out of the office and traveling. All of which there should be no excuse to why I have not updated this age. The military has taught me that there are, “NO EXCUSES!!!” They’re right.

Things here in Iraq are going good. I miss my old unit but I know that I will see them later. The weather is all so changing. It goes from cool to hot and hot to cool. I really don’t know what to expect. I have given up on the weather. The weather right now is supposed to be scolding hot. I don’t think it has reached up to the 130’s yet. I was told that July-August was supposed to be the hottest months. I guess I’ll have to see.

The base that I am on is bigger and has more things to offer. It has a bigger exchange. It has few other things that most camps don’t have. I don’t know if I am really supposed to post on the internet so I won’t. You’ll have to play the guessing game on that. Not much else is going on except that I am getting ready to head home. I have what a lot of people have when they are about to leave. It is called short timers disease.

Well, folks thanks for everything that ya’ll have provided me and the troops. Please continue to support us.

Hello folks. So far I have received about 5 letters from different parts of the US. Letters came from Texas, Colorado, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Thank you and I appreciate the letters as well as my co-workers here.

It has been 2 ½ months and we have about 4 months left. My unit is going to have a mid tour barbeque at the end of May. I am looking forward to the barbeque. We’ll probably just have the usual BBQ food like, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and few other items. Over here, they do not allow alcohol, however, they have non-alcoholic beer. I really don’t understand the whole non-alcoholic beer thing. I guess it’s all mental.

Not much is happening around this neck of the desert. The weather here has been really strange. By this time of year, it is suppose to be hot all ready. But I think we brought Southern California weather out here with us. On of the worker that has been out here for two years said that the weather is very strange. He said by this time of year, the weather is supposed to reach up to the 130° F. So far it has been cool and cloudy and it has been raining. Since being in country I have been trough about 3 sand storms. The last one we had was about two days ago and it was cool. It only lasted for about 4-5 hours. I have heard that it could last up to a few days.

I have enclosed a few pictures. One is of my co-worker that Prasad. He works in the supply department and he supplies our clinic. The next picture is of me driving a HMMV on base. The last picture is of the sand storm that we recently had.

Well that’s it for now. Take care and I’ll update you guys later. Again thanks for the support and thanks for the letters.

Hello, my unit is from Camp Pendleton, California. It is a Marine Corp base on the Southern Coast of California in Oceanside. Our living condition is better than most units out here. We live in harden structures and we have adequate showers and heads. Everything out here is ran on 220 but there are convertors out here for us to us. Food out here is plentyful. I am representing my shop and a buddy. My shop here is responsible for the health and well being of all the troops on base and around the outlining areas. We do health inspections of chow halls and spray for insects. We're pretty much public health for the military.
The shop out here like working with our hands and we like the challenges. The stores are limited on what they sale out here. If it is possible, we would like to request for plastic models and puzzles and anything that is hands on. Another item that is useful is a cuticle cutter. The store out here does not sell it. One of my female worker is looking for one. Like I said earlier, the store out here is limited on what they sell. A little bit of candy and snacks is good too. Bars of soap, female and male razors, and luffas.
Well, we appreciate everything that you guys do and we appreciate your support. From my shop to your Family, Thank you very much.

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.)
