21 Sep 2008:
I have to say the Any Sailor program contributed greatly to the morale of this battalion NMCB THREE while we have been here in Iraq. Getting those boxes put a lot of smiles on faces. I want to thank everybody who has been a part of this program. Thank you for your sacrifice and the time you took in providing the literally hundreds of boxes that we have gotten here in Iraq. It is not only our battalion that enjoys these boxes, but thousands of other Marines, Army, Navy, Airforce personnel. I see the AnySailor program boxes literally everywhere in this Operations theater that I go. You guys are awesome. On another note, I will be saying goodbye to Iraq to go back home to the states in a short time. With great regret I have to take my name off the list for the program. Until the next deployment, God bless and thanks.
01 Aug 2008 Dear Any Sailor, I want to Thank you for the packages that have been sent. They have been shipped to our Seabees all over Iraq and have contributed a great deal to the morale of our troops. One of our Senior Chiefs brought a bunch of boxes to a certain worksite and you would have though it was Christmas. The time and the resources that have gone in to getting those boxes to our troops have been worth it. The smiles on their faces are a testimony to the hard work of those who put these boxes together. This is a list of the people who have sent boxes: -Grace Baptist Church -The Ziehr Family -Charlie and Becky Balts -RSVP Program -St. George Episcopal Church -Chapel on the Hill -Ms. Margie Daino -Busy Bees/RSVP Program -Kathy Haynes -Pamela Sargent -Providence Community Church -Margaret Baver -Sarah F. -R.J. Lasek -Edye Ludwig -Sheetal Damania -Michael Kramer -Laurie Thiverge -Kristin Souza -Jessica Lilley -Rod -Marty Dempsey -James Wamsley -Jessica Lelley -Susan Valenfurl -G. Black -Jeff Wood -James Cancer Hospital -Kristal Watters -Tracie Graham -Kim Willmon -Duane and Deb Granger -Eddie K and Mary Elizabeth Stanley -Lindsey Matykiewicz -Grace Community Christian School -Susan Tucker -Cade Gotthardt Again, I can’t say thank you enough about how awesome a gift that the anysailor program has been to my troops and myself. This program without a doubt has made a great contribution to the success of our efforts in Iraq. Thanks Again. Sincerely, Mark E. Conard
12 Jun 2008 Dear Any Sailor, I am speechless at the support that you have provided our troops. We have been overwhelmed with packages. I have received 40 packages myself and I gave them out from the Chaplain’s office and the troops loved them. When those packages arrived they gathered around like giddy little kids waiting to get some treats. Many of these troops never get a package. I want to thank all the people who sent packages and gave of their time to lift the morale of NMCB THREE. It is good to feel loved and appreciated. Operation Buckeye sent the majority of the packages. Thankyou so much Operation Buckeye! Your operation was definitely successful. Others that sent packages and letters that we want to thank: The Ohio State University Medical Center Mercy Ouuwone Haley Huffman Girl Scout troop 2346 The Leonard’s M. Stanley Tracy Hennes Girl Scout Troop 1290 The Flag Lady’s Flag Store The Harris Family, Paul, Sara, Jackson and Holly Ashleigh Nick Sydney Girl Scout Troop 2495 David and Barbara Matchack Communications and Marketing Department at Ohio State University Candy RN at Ohio State Medical Center University East Hospital Patty Wood Ohio State Medical Center Jeff Wood Shannon Schoch Ohio State Medical Center Darlene Adkins Operation Buckeye Julie Operation Buckeye Richard and Mary Eve Corrigan Operation Buckeye Brownie Troop 986 Cade Gotthardt (thanks for the picture Cade, I hung it up in my office for all the troops to see) Doloris Thiede(Thanks for the coffee Doloris Susan Tucker Thank you all for all you did for us and continue to do. We appreciate you so much. May God bless you and take care. Sincerely Lt. Mark E. Conard Navy Chaplain
05 May 2008 Hello, I am Chaplain Conard. We are located in the country of Iraq. It is very hot here. We do have refrigerators, a laundry service, electricity, 110 and 220. We do a lot of walking and the we have long working days. My troops love cookies, candie(suckers, hardcandy is always good). They love the Jollie Ranchers, Tootsie Roll Pops, liqerish, Starbucks coffee, carmal corn, M and M's. My troops can use anything that would make sleeping more comfortable and living in crowded quarters more bearable. I hope this helps you to know what would encourage the troops. Candy usually does great in lifting the troops spirits. Because of the heat hard candy and suckers would not melt. Don't send anything that could not withstand heat of more than a 100 degrees. Thank you for this kind gesture and God Bless you. Chaplain Conard

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.)
