04 Mar 2009:
It's been a couple of months that I've written. I had the opportunity to go on leave for a couple of weeks but it took me just as long to get back to my base. Then I went on several missions all over Afghanistan.

I am happy to say I've come to the end of my deployment and expect to leave within a week and look forward to getting home. I want to thank all of the wonderful people who sent letters, packages (btw, it was all very delicious), cards and heartfelt pictures. I really appreciated all the positive remainders that we are doing good work and that people at home are proud of us.

Please accept my personal appreciation and thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Your proud sailor,

IS1 William Jaramillo

This IS1 Jaramillo currently writing to you while on leave visiting my family. It's been tough having to be apart from the family during the holidays but being able to communicate via phone calls and/or emails helps out tremendously.

I would like to thank all the wonderful people who sent care packages and pictures (from the Pitt area) to help us get through our day. We all look forward to getting boxes or letters in support of our work. Irregardless of how tough we all may be or appear the postive words and recognition and support from people back home really helps to provide the grounding we all need here in Afghanistan.

I will be returning to Afghanistan soon but my family keeps me going and your support gives us strength and fortitude to know that we are doing good.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Sincerely,

IS1 Jaramillo

I apologize for not updating sooner but it's been a little difficult to get a pc and a decent network connection. I have recently sent out emails and letters to the generous supporters. The donations and letters are outstanding! Sometimes its hard for me to imagine that people have time during this tough economic crises to take time to write or even send a package. As I pass out the goodies I always let the soldiers and sailors know where it comes from. I've had the opportunity to communicate with some of the supporters and to give them thanks for raising our spirits. You all have our heartfelt appreciation and our prayers.

Respectfully,

IS1 William Jaramillo (USN)

Our unit do live in small buildings that are broken down into huts. W do have power converters but power strip are needed and difficult to find. We use 220 to 240v power.
Some of things that are needed are white socks (Size 9-12), DVD Movies (Martial Arts and Comedies), Magazines (Import Tuner Type, Wired, Fast Company etc.), Flavored powdered coffee creamer (vanilla, hazlenut, amaretto), Nutrious snacks (Dried fruit and nuts espacially almonds). PSP with any new or used video games. Air Purifier (small) to place into seperate offices. The excessive sand and dust have caused a major flairup of sinus issues. BTW, anything that is sent will be greatly appreciated and defintely used by one and all.

Thank you.

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.)
