We are still out here and are going to be for awhile. All the snacks that are being sent are loved and I’ve received some gloves and a beanie which I wear every day because it’s very cold in my shop. The Ship life is tough on everything and the metal everywhere is very unforgiving. My iPod lost its life when it hit the deck as I was running. Thank you all so much for you gifts

I just got our first box. I snagged the tuna packs and oreo caksters and handed out the rest of the goodies J. This is a picture of some of my shipmates that got to enjoy the snacks also. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to add a couple of pictures. The group picture is when we just got done with a Captain’s Cup challenge and we have our mascot with us. I’m the one in the brown shirt wearing glasses. The second picture is me in my rack to give an idea of how small it is and I’m only 5’8”.

Thank you so much for what you are doing! Many of us in my shop are stationed in California but there are a couple from Washington state. We are all Information Technologists so we are kind of dorky but many of us are very athletic. We are part of CAG ADP which is unique because all of the separate squadrons take their IT's and put us all in one shop to work together while we are on deployment. We get to meet a lot of new friends. The heat and how much we sweat took us by surprise and what most of us are limited on is workout clothes, like sweat wicking short sleeve shirts and shorts. XL and Large will work for the guys and medium for the females. To answer some of the standard questions above: All of our berthing is the same. We are in racks, I have a great picture I will send. We use 110V here on the ship. There is Ship's laundry but most of us like to use personal laundry and do our own. We do not have the ability to cook anything on our own and our shop is too small for a microwave or fridge, I will send pictures of that also. As for food or snacks we will try not to be picky. Most of us love chocolate but I'm sure it will melt because of the heat, maybe M&Ms will make it. For other sweets some are saying Oreos, Little Debbies, Sour Patch Kids, and Starbursts. We all love any kind of Beef jerky! Some of us also like tuna fish and Gold Fish crackers. We are all doing well on hygiene products, our ship store does a good job on keeping those stocked. As for undergarments, Large and Med navy blue undershirts with NO pocket and black under the calf sport socks (Gold Toe makes a good one). Most of us have kids so we would be happy to answer some cards that might be in the boxes and we can throw in some souvenirs from the ship, if that is allowed. You are amazing for what you do. Your support means just as much as what we are doing out here. 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.)
