20 Oct 2007:
Greetings everyone! Finally Ramadan is over, which is one of many reasons why my replies to all of you have been lax. I wish people here could celebrate by ways other than driving stupid, shooting into the air, and drinking themselves into oblivion. For that matter, Americans could learn the same lesson! We have had many casualties, thankfully none Coalition.
We received the news we've been waiting all mission for - our replacements are preparing to come over! We still don't know exactly when we will be leaving, but sometime in the January/Febuary timeframe.
We can't thank you all enough for your incredibly generous gifts. The crocs are taken out of the boxes before I can even set the boxes down! Same with the knives and the flashlights. The clothes and scrubs are so well liked by the locals, even our local workers and guards want to get some! We had a "yard sale" where we opened up the conex full of donated clothes and toys to give them away to anyone who wanted them. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but there was even fights over some of the clothes!
I am sorry, but with all the packages I have been receiving, combined with how busy we have been lately, I will not be able to reply to each and every one of you like I was doing my best to do. Please know that our thanks are not diminished in any way.
And a message from one of my Corpsmen..."Thanks for the LSU stuff! Go Tigers!"
Thank you all,
Glen Mulkey

Well, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began, and with a bang for us. We had many more patients, trauma patients, than usual, arriving at all hours of the day and night. It's been a long week. Thankfully on Sunday we had no casualties and lots of mail from all of you! You are truly spoiling us! We have accumulated such "wealth" that visiting units now come and check out our "pantry". So you're now helping support over ten units now, not just us at the FST!
I have requested that a few pictures be shown on the website. The first is a picture of myself with a little boy who was stung by a bee near his eye. If only all our patients were so minor. The second is a little girl, who was in a bomb blast that killed her parents and injured herself and her two sisters. The blast was a result of Taliban fighters taking refuge in their home. She is only 22 months old, and lost vision in her eye. The third is a young man who, though smiling now, was the only survivior from a suicide bomber that killed over 20 people in a civilian marketplace...no military targets. I have chosen not to post any pictures of injuries, in case we have families reading this - and I hope we do. I also have excluded any pictures of any other of our personnel or our exterior...security is a major concern, and I wish to protect them as best I can.
Parents who are reading this - tell your kids to be thankful that they are Americans. No matter how hard school seems, or their parents seem...at least they aren't getting shot at, blown up, or killed senselessly. That alone is the hardest part of our job.
Some of you asked about our well. Sadly there was nothing to fix...it's just a little dry. We are still rationing a little, but not too badly.
As for specifics on goods...we are actually doing pretty good on everything right now. Like I said earlier, our shelves are full. The main things we can still use are some more clothes for patients, especially pants (keep in mind the average Afghan male is skinny!), and scrubs, crocs, and headlamps ( the ones we've received so far are very popular!).
For those who have included pre-addressed envelopes for reply confirmations but no email addresses, I am sorry but our outgoing mail is horribly slow. So far the only ones in that category were the ones from the Buckeye Project, we did receive three packages from you and our females pass on a thank you for those items! Though I have to say...we're a lot of LSU, UCLA, and Univ of Wash fans here!
Oh yeah, almost forgot, the magazines are much appreciated too, especially the cigar one! Some of our personnel are stationed in Europe, and are avid F1 fans...anyone out there share that interest and want to keep us in the loop?
Well thank you again everyone, for your packages and your prayers. Remember that with all the negative press out there, the American military is doing good if people will care to see it and acknowledge it.
very respectfully,
Glen Mulkey

Thank you to everyone who sent packages! I felt like Santa Claus handing out the supplies for my unit and for my patients. You have provided a lot of smiles for a lot of people. To the person who sent the "Crocs", you are awesome! That is exactly what this unit needs!
To add to our shortcomings at this post, our well ran dry recently. Thankfully you all sent baby wipes, perfect for field hygiene! Someone must have been doing this for a while...
We would like to add to our requests on behalf of our patients for sweatpants, t-shirts, and very simple sandals or shower shoes. Often when our patients come here we have to cut their clothes off and destroy them, so we have to dress them when they leave. If you would like to send these items, please make sure they have no designs or logos. We still aren't sure what will be found offensive or might get someone hurt for wearing American logos.
Also, the magazines were very appreciated! Some of my members have asked if I can request specific ones, and I figure the worst that happens is we don't get them! We have members into sailing, hunting, cars, motorcycles, and cigars (kudos to whoever sent the cigar magazine, that was nearly ripped from my hands when our cigar club saw it!).
Again, on behalf of the Sailors and Airmen of our Surgical Unit, thank you to everyone! Your support in the form of packages and prayers mean a lot to us. I will try to post a picture soon, however our internet is not very reliable with large files.
v/r,
Glen Mulkey

Our unit is a medical surgical team in a forward location. We have no MWR, no PX, no rec facilities of any kind. We have electricity 110 and 220, and live in hardened structures. Our DFAC is closed some entire days, so we have to get our own food on those days. We could personally use things like laundry detergent, coffee, bottle-size drink mixes, etc. Also, being that we take care of a huge number of local national patients, we could use toys to give the kids. We have plenty of stuffed animals for the little kids and girls, but nothing for boys. Please nothing patriotic/American or military.
In regards to our jobs, we don't have much for specialized personal equipment. EMT belt pouches, scrubs (dark or camo patterned), flashlights for when our generators die during surgeries, and crocs (plastic shoes that are easy to clean the blood off of) are awesome. We also have noticed in caring for the locals that they are usually malnourished, so we have been providing vitamins to the kids. Costco-size chewable multivitamins (flinstones, etc) would help us help these kids. And like any military unit, we love underarmor shirts (we wear Army ACU uniforms, so Tan shirts), sunglasses (ours get broken or stolen by the locals very often), knives, boot socks, etc.

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.)
