Yes it is true, that we will be leaving soon, and for all your efforts and support over this deployment I wanted to thank you on behave of 2nd Battalion 6th Marines. Your support throughout these months has given all of our Marines and Sailors an escape through writing to pen pals, shown love to the guys who thought they were forgotten and given much needed supplies to the guys in the field. I know you guys get letters like this all the time and I wish that there was more that I could say but I guess I'll just keep it simple. Thank you and God Bless you all for taking the time and effort out of your normal lives to help us. One thing I can tell you is that all of you have defiantly helped to contribute to our success in Iraq during this deployment. The Iraqi people are beginning to take a stand against the injustice and tyranny in their country and I believe that one day this will be a beautiful place that all will be able to visit and be amazed at the progress of the people. Again I thank you all and May God Bless all of you that have shown so much love to the servicemen and women that serve in Iraq.

Sincerely,

RPSN Hicks, Marcus

Well as far as an update goes where doing pretty good on supplies, if anything I think we could use a lot of those powdered drink mixes, deodorants, granola bars, and those air fresheners for the hooches. Thanks for everything as usual, and here are a few pictures.

For the most part I'd say that my battalion is doing good, if anything I would say that drink mixes, like crystal light and such are pretty good. A lot of my guys are doing a lot of working out so maybe some healthier snacks as well. Nothing too crazy like low carb stuff but maybe some soft granola bars. Oh yes and before I forget, inner tubes for bikes as well. The sizes range from 24x1.75 to 26x1.79 from what I'm told. I haven't been able to take many pictures yet, (I also had no idea it's been two months) but I'll send you what I can. Thanks for everything everybody.

I just thought of something, as strange as this may seem I have a few Marines who skateboard and also a Major that loves the candy Smarties, I'm not exactly sure where to find them but if you could help me out with skate boarding supplies and smarties I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures to show you the Marine's version of Tony Hawk. Thanks again.

Three things I believe we would like more of now that it's reaching the triple digits are bug spray, sunscreen and soccer balls.

I also wanted to put in a request for some pictures of people places and things back home, like posters of singers or pictures of the students if possible. My plan is to take group photos of the guys that we have on guard force because they all were interested in having pen pals with kids from K-12 and just showing them what they do.

Our guys in the field use 220-240 outlets and possibly higher so for most of the things outside the wire they use the iraq plugs. We have Laundry and Microwaves and at many of our FOB's. We also have cooks at many of the larger areas but in the smaller places they only eat MRE's. We have no females with us but there is a unit in our base that has a few. I am basically representing the entire BN which numbers in the hundreds that come in and outside of the wire. I did a general cenus with my guys and this is what I got.

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.)
