Hello all.

I really do want to thank you for the assistance and support while myself and my fellow troops are here in Afghanistan. It is always nice to be able to come back from a mission and have a package waiting for you. It doesn't matter whether it is small or large. Just having something sitting there for you is all that it takes. It is kind of like Christmas all over again.

We have been rather busy getting ready for elections and assisting the local populous. Some days you can see an immediate difference and others it might take a short while to see it but you always know that it is there. Change is coming and the people really do want it. The weather is heating up over here also which is going to make our job even harder.

I hope this find you all well.

Good afternoon

I am sorry that I have been remiss in keeping up with sending updates on myself and my men. We truly are grateful to those great Americans back there in the states that are supporting us while we are away from our families and are in harms way. I can tell you that we are very busy here in Afghanistan helping secure the country of Afghanistan and assisting the Afghan populous. It isn't always an easy job or one that we get allot of thanks for doing but it is a job that we do need to finish. I can't tell you everything that we are doing but it ranges in security to teaching the children. It is very busy this time of year. We have lost some very important and brave warriors during this conflict. The heat is starting to pick up more and more every day.

We have started trying to grow a garden but are having a hard time with that do to the soil not being the best in the world. We are still trying though. It brings a little bit of home to us every day. I started it about three weeks ago and didn't think people were thinking much about it. I started it because my children and my friends sent me the seeds since I couldn't grow the one at the house. I went away for week long mission and kind of thought that everything was going to be dead by the time I got back. I had to laugh because upon my return I found out that all of the guys (civilians included) had been taking care of it while I was away. They said that it made them kind of feel like they were at home just a little bit. I will send you a picture of it when the tomatoes start actually growing.

Again, thank you for helping to keep us all sane over here and not just thinking about Afghanistan.

We are from Virginia Beach Virginia. We live in both tents and metal structures. We travel throughout the country so what we stay in changes week to week. Things that we would like if you feel like sending are socks, music, magazines, toiletries, snacks, clothes (shorts=M+L)(shirts=M+L)(socks=9-11)(pants size 30 to 34), towels, sunglasses, pretty much anything that you feel like sending. It is always nice to come back from a few days to a week out and have a package sitting there waiting for you. It is like Christmas over and over again. We really do thank you for your support of us. It truly makes the job much better.

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.)
