24 Mar 2005:
Just an update. I would like to express my thanks to everyone helping us out here. You have helped us extremely. I am trying to reply to letters and notes as quick as possible, but work is keeping us busy. I know writing in here I can let you all know we have started recieving letters and packages. Thank you all for myself and the Marines of MALS 26 Airfrmaes. We are getting plenty of help from you all. Hygiene items are the most important things we need here. No one can have enough hygiene products. A few special requests are: pillows, socks (preferably black or green), blankets, snacks, anything microwavable, soups, easy mac packets, gatorade mixes, cookies and treats, gum, music was a small request from some Marines (no preferences), magazines and books are always a hit. Anything you think would help us out, believe me it does. Thank you again for all your help.
05 Mar 2005 I am volunteering to become a contact for my work center. I am deployed with my entire shop out of Jacksonville, NC. Our squadron(Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26) is the acting ACE out here for the next year. We will be in this location until on/around March 31,2006. We live in a harden building with water and electricity(220) on occasion. We sleep in padded bunks(no pillows). Our only means of cooking is by microwave and our laundry is picked up once a week to be washed. Our schedule runs as 12on and 12off 7 days a week. HYGIENE ITEMS,plastic soap containers, toilet paper, black/green socks,Gold Bond, books, magazines, microwavable food items,Non perishable food items,candy,chocolates disposable cameras, batteries(AA & AAA),envelopes,plastic utensils,hand sanitizer,wet wipes,phone cards,are things that are greatly used. Stationary items for writing home to let family and friends know how we are doing. Black ink pens are what we mainly use out here for anything dealing with the Marine Corps. Pens and pencils are both used a lot. Notebooks, reading materials, and magazines would be nice for the Marines. They do have a little bit of time during the evenings to stopandrelax while reading a book or magazine, etc. We appreciate all of the support we are getting from family and friends and everyone else back home. Thanks for the support.

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.)
