14 Jun 2008:

Well time is still ticking out here in the desert! We are in full swing working on our jets, keeping them up and flying and most importantly protecting our boys on the ground. I've got to admit though, it has gotten extremely hot here. Most days it's triple digits in the shade! I'm also proud to inform you that I made rank and I am now a third class petty officer or AM3.
I've got a few new items that would really help us out.

First and foremost--coffee! Nothing fancy, just good ol' folgers or maxwell house, if you're from the south community coffee would be amazing! We enjoy a light or medium roast. Oh and please no whole beans, we're not that high tech out here just yet. Ha!
As far as snacks go we enjoy the typical snack foods. I've heard a few guys mention little debbie snacks. Nothing microwavable though, once again the technology thing kinda gets us.

We'd also enjoy getting sunglasses. It's hard to keep a pair for too long around here, and it's even harder trying to see where you're walking when your eyes are squinted shut. Please nothing over $15. Just a good ol' pair of gas station glasses will do just fine. Oh and the bigger the better!
As for hygiene products liquid soap is a must, luffa's, mouth wash, face wash.

Once again I just want to thank everyone on behalf of all the guys in my shop. We really do appreciate the support and the care packages.

thank you,
AM3 Bates

Hello-

I just wanted to take a minute to update my profile. I have a few new things some of the guys in my shop mentioned that they would greatly appreciate if they recieved it. Items such as Febreze, swiffer dust rags(it's almost impossible to keep the dust off anything) Liquid soap, blank greeting cards(so we can possibly send to loved ones back home). Were some of the items most desired. And of course snacks are always a must. A few of us really enjoy mint chocolate(pretty much anything) that and just basic various yummies. Thank you to everyone God Bless.

Hello, My Name is Airman Trevor Bates. I'm with VAQ-134 out of Oak Harbor, WA. Currently serving in Afghanistan. I know it's strange to think about Navy personnel on land, but trust me we're here for a good reason, to protect our ground forces. I work with a great group of young men. We like to work hard and play hard. I asked some of the guys what they would like out of a care package and for the most part the answers were the same. DVD's and CD's to enjoy during down time. Snack foods are a good thing! Bathroom items such as: Mouth wash, face wash, toothbrushes, aftershave, things of that nature. Alot of us enjoy a good magazine(4x4, offroad, Maxim). Other simple items that can bring "a little piece" of home to us would also be greatly appreciated. We just want to say thank you for your support. Horray Navy!!!

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.)
