I apologize for the long time inbetween contact. As you know things here had gotten so hectic for a while that I acutally forgot about this e-mail accoint. The Air Force has taken over our hospital and put us on their server. It has been a couple months since I have checked this account. It was not my intention to wait this long to contact everyone again.

Things here have settled down. It was pretty busy around here for a while with everything going on in Fallujah. As you could probably imagine having 6 branches of service (USMC, USN, USA, USAF, Ausrtallians, and British troops) in one hospital can make for some stressful times with everyone running things differently. It has truely been great to see all the branches working together over the past couple weeks as one team.

It is on behalf of a grateful hospital that I have the pleasure to say "thank you" to everyone that is, has and will continue to support the troops serving to protect the United States of America.

Semper Fidelis,

Hello from sandy Iraq,

I would like to start by thanking everyone that has already helped with support letters and packages. I never thought that we would get such a turn out with these supplies. We are currently going through some slow yet fast times here at the hospital. We are being lucky because we are not getting many US soldiers in here. However, we are currently getting a lot of local nationals in need of medical attention.

It is starting to cool off out here but its still getting pretty hot during the day. This has been both a blessing and a pain for our noses. Since the majority of the patients we have on hand here are nationals we have to take care of cleaning them with baby wipes and keeping their hygeine up. We are running low for baby wipes so its starting to smell very badly inside the hospital throughout the afternoon.

We are making sure that all the support we are receiving from each and everyone of you is getting out to the Marines and soldiers that need it the most. It is great to see while there are still so many anti-war protesters out there that America is still backing everyone fighting to protect your freedoms. As things slow down soon I will make longer and better updates. Again thank you all for all your support

Semper Fidelis,
Cpl Schlyer, Russell L

Sgt Wolfe and I are currently the Marine Corps Liasion at an Air Force hospital in Balad, Iraq. We currently support Navy, Marine Corps and Army personnel attached to Marine Corps units. We are trying to insure that the wounded have what they need while they are here and on to their further destination. The hospital needs things such as razors, shaving cream, toothbrushes, basically your typical hygeine gear. Along with books, crosswords or anything that would help keep the soldiers occupied while recovering. The hospital is in tents with a power of 220. We do not recieve many female soldiers but do from time to time. We would like to get homemade cards and letters to hang up around the hospital. I do not know exactly how many personnel we support since the numbers in the hospital flucuate.
Thank you for your 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.)
