On behalf of my unit, I want to personally thank you for your organization and the efforts you make on a daily basis to show your support to military members. We can personally testify that the letters and packages we receive are a huge morale booster. We reply to as many of the letters as possible that are sent to us through Any Sailor’s program and have gained several pen pals. Thanks again for all you do and we hope you have a great Christmas and New Year.

Very Respectfully,
Craig Bishop

Navy Cargo Handling Battalion One detachment Cargo Transfer Platoon THREE has accomplished so much in our first three months. As the sole air cargo handler for the Army, we have moved more cargo in our short stay than other platoons have over their entire deployment. To say we're busy is an understatement from working 12 hour days 7 days a week to enduring temperatures well into the triple digits. One of the simple pleasures we have are the packages AnySoldier sends us from our many supporters. It makes it all worthwhile.

The crew of Navy Sailors is in good spirits as they carry on their daily tasks. We're able to contact our families often and have many base-wide services that allow us to experience somewhat normal lives. Sailors pass their free time in many different ways including reading, playing games, and their favorite, playing ping-pong. Not many of us were very good when we got here but everyone is pretty good at the game now. Even those that didn't want to play originally are now addicted.

The weather has started to cool off as the days are getting shorter. Triple digit temperatures are now more of the exception than the rule. No rain to speak of though. Everywhere is still very dry. Once again, we appreciate all that you do to show your support. I'm attaching a group picture of us taken not very long ago. The sign in the picture says Army Air Cargo because we support the Army. However, we are a Navy unit. Please continue to write and we thank you.

God Bless you and God Bless the United States of America,

LT Craig Bishop

Your support to our troops means the world to them. Just to have a taste of home brings smiles to their faces. I am the Officer in Charge of my Navy unit out of Virginia. We are comprised of both male and female Sailors with the vast majority being male. Our living conditions are quite good as everyone has a barracks style room with access to a refrigerator and microwave. There is not much we lack with respect to basic necessities so the best thing to send would be general snacks, candy, cookies, popcorn, magazines, and anything considered a nicety back home. The troops are proud to have the opportunity to serve their country and appreciate those, such as yourselves, who take the time to show their support. Thank you and 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.)
