10 Jul 2008:
Well we have about two and half months left here and we have recieved the packages that people have sent us and I cannot express my gratitude and thanks for everything that everyone has done for us. It is extremely hot here and we are still hard at work. The microwaveable meals and noodles have been a lifesaver as well as the rest fo the food that we are able to carry with us. Myself and the rest of us cannot express our eternal gratefulness enough. Everything has been put to good use and it lets us know that there are people still back in the US that care. I have to make this update short, but wil lupdate more later. Thank you again, and everything that has been sent to us, microwaveable meals, snacks, noodles, anything and everything is appreciated and put to good use, once again, you guys are lifesavers! Thank you!

Things are going well here, and I apologize for not being able to update this sooner. The temperature here is breaking 105 and it can become excruciatingly hot. The hours, days and nights are long here and can become quite depressing to say the least. The couple of care packges we have received have been outstanding and myself and the rest of the soldiers and sailors that I work with have greatly appreciated all that everyone has done to take the time out of their schedules as well as finances to help support us. The food has been the most important thing. What has helped us the most has been the microwaveable food, snacks, and sweets, we can always use more of those, they are in desperate need here. We can always use more of those, since we cannot get those here. There have been many nights when that food has helped stave off hunger and keep people awake and alert. The rest of the troops that I am working with are doing well, we are still hoping to leave on time, but that is a while down the road. The care packages have been the single most morale booster that anyone could have asked for and once again it cannot be expressed enough as to how much it means to us. I have emailed several people who have sent them, to thank them, but have received no replies to date. I hope that those individuals read this page and get a chance to accept our heartfelt thanks and gratitude. It is people like you that support us that make these deployments worthwhile and reminds us that the sacrifices that we and our families make are never in vain. Thank you for all that you do. It means the world to us. With the deepest thanks and gratitude, MA2 Richard W. Brumfield

We are currently living in pods, but the food selection here is scarce. We have acces to microwaves and the voltage here is approximately 220 volts. For clothes most people wear large to x-large for any clothing sizes, we do not have a refrigerator or freezer. I am representing part of a platoon and my podmates who are all bunking together. I am currently based out of NHCGL Great Lakes, IL. I am a military police officer and an investigator with the unit. I was sent on deployment to IRAq in support of OIF and I left a wife and three children at home. As for other special requests, anything microwaveable or microwaveable bowls or plates?? We do not have those here and it makes the microwave useless becuase everything melts in it. We do have a laundry service here, but they are horrible and the clothes smell like jet fuel when we get them back. My special requests are, if it is okay: microwavwable foods and plates or bowls, any small clothing items, and microwaveablef ood, as some of us work 14-18 hour days and do not have the ability to mae it to the chow hall. Thank you for your consideration.

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.)
