19 Dec 2004:

First of all I would like to say "thank you" for coming up with this great idea to creat a website to support the Soldiers out here in Iraq or where ever they are at. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that your website AnySoldier.com it's great and has made a huge difference for the people in my unit MALS-16 FWD. I only created the profile about a month ago for the troops that I work with but due to the great packages that are arriving on a daily basis, I am passing them out to different troops from different divisions within the squadron. In return all I ask from the troops is to send a thank you letter back to the sender to let them know that their package has arrived and also to chat with them if they have the time. I know that most of them are doing it and we have some that are not able to because of the different work they are doing. I, on the other hand, have made a few friends that I communicate with back and forth when I get the chance. I don't want to give out to much info about them but I will tell you that one the names is Marie. I would like to thank Marie for being a wonderful friend and for keeping in touch whenever time permits for the both of us. I have attached a photo of some of us from the unit. Thank you again and keep up the good work, we all appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Staff Sergeant Constantin A. Olaru Sr

To whom it may concern:
I don't know how this really works but here it goes. I am the Personnel Chief for the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16 which is currently deployed forward to Al Asad, Iraq. We have been down for a week now with the internet and the e-mail capabilities due to the current events that are happening in Fallujah and other parts of the country. We work in a buiding and everything runs off 220 volts. We have transformers to convert the electricity over to 110 volts. We have a microwave in the building that everyone uses to worm up their soups, make popcorn, and even worm up water so they can make hot tea. The weather over here is dry and sandy so foot powder is required in order to keep your feet in good health. I have currently placed a box by my office where it has packs of popcorn in it, noodle soups, candies, and some other goods. Whatever we receive from our loved ones, we dump it in the box and we all share because not everyone gets packages from home and we want to make everyone feel special. It would be greatly appreciated if we are able to get some razors, soap, tooth brushes, tooth paste, deodorant, pretty much hygene items and microwaveable foods. Us as Marines, we don't expect to receive a lot because we've always had less then our other services and we make good use out of everything we have. No matter how bad the situation is, we keep on marching and don't look back. If this request is true and if a care package arrives, I will let my youngest Marine in the building to open the package and when he asks where is this from Staff Sergeant, I am going to tell him, it's from the loved ones back home that are thinking and praying for our safety everyday. God Bless and Semper Fi.

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 Marine 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 Marine!
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.)
