28 Sep 2005:
 I apologize for the delay in the update. I sure do appreciate everyone's support. I have replied back to some of you and hope to hear from you again. My intentions are to reply back to each and everyone. If you do not get a reply from me then it will be from one of my other shipmates in my unit. Things here are progressing. We are getting excited about the holidays, and going home shortly after, but mostly I am excited about the temperatures cooling down. It is about 105 during the day, with lots of humidity, and 85 to 90 at night which is a nice change. I have recieved several letters and I want to thank you. Children have excellent imaginations and it helps me keep the focus of important things and priorities by recieving the letters which I have. I have two children of my own, ages 11 and 13, both girls. They are doing well but growing up very fast not having me home. I do keep in contact with them as much as possible and understand that they are in school now so contact is even more minimal. As I mentioned in the last update our mission here is coming to an end for this unit and our replacement will be here at the beginning of the year so there is alot of anxious individuals to be back with our families which we miss very much. Everyone in my unit seems to have higher spirits and goals because of the anticipation of returning home and all of the reminders which we have recieved from you about home. Thank you again for your support.

We are very delighted with the support. It is definately an honor to be an American. Hearing from individuals back in the states always brings smiles to our faces and brightens our days. My unit still anticipates being over here in the middle east for approximately another five months. We feel that we are doing a successful mission. Thank you for your time, caring, sharing, and most of all your support. It makes it easier to do our job that we came here to do. The heat is unbearrable, and we can't wait to see snow, being from the Northwest we like that stuff. Take care of yourselves as well.

I apologize for the delay in updating my status out of country, as everyone may know we are very busy over here. The temperatures have been almost not tolerable. I can not believe the brutal climate, it makes me even more eager to return to the states to a more moderate climate. My unit has been very heart filled and joyed to recieve packages from any soldier.com we have recieved mail from several wonderful people. The support and the time which is being taken out of your personal lives is very much appreciated. My unit anticipates being here for approximately six more months. Everyone is doing well an mail continues to keep individuals spirits up. Once again thank you for your patriotism and support we all hope to hear from you soon. May God bless you.

I am a sailor from Montana and am deployed in the Kuwait area with a squadron from Washington. We are a port security unit to ensure that our brothers and sisters in Iraq receive the supplies they need to help complete the mission. We live in large warehouse type buildings now that do have 220 electricity. We use to live in tents but have recently upgraded. It is a blessing. We do have laundry service in which we can do our own laundry. We have access to a microwave but have no other way of cooking our own food. Snacks (especially jerky, and sunflower seeds), babywipes, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, visine, foot powder, hand sanitizer, face cleanser, cd's, dvd's, stationary, and pens are a few of the items that our sailors over here would very much appreciate recieving, and could use. We are very appreciative of your suppport and God Bless.

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.)
