12 Dec 2004:

Hello everyone. First I would like to start off by wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Thanks to your support we have been able to celebrate the holidays out here a lot better that we expected. With all the decorations that were sent here for Christmas I can say that by far our work center is the most cheerful.

Our time here is finally nearing. I will be heading home on or near the 30th of January. My alternate SSgt Davis will be here until mid February.
We all would like to thank you once again for you the outstanding support you have given. You have all made a huge difference out here.

I just want to thank everyone that has contributed to the Anysoldier program. When I signed up my Division I had no idea that the response would be so great. Just a week after I posted my unit on the website we started to receive mail. Within two weeks our first care packages started to arrive. I have been able to distribute them through out to not only my division but to others as well.

Although I try to make sure that everyone receives a reply for each package or letter that is sent here it can be difficult at times. Please know that we are grateful and appreciate your support.

The weather here is beginning to get cold. At first we welcomed the change but we have all come to realize that the winter here will not be easy. Any cold weather items that you can spare would be appreciated.

Once again, thank you for your support.

Semper Fidelis

(From his alternate)

   I just want to say that what you are doing is great. It is nice to know that there are so many out there that do support us. After all, what we do, we do for you. A couple of years ago, I was a recruiter in Springfield, IL. There are not many Marines around that area. So I was a big representation of the Corps there. Of course I got a lot of support from the guys at the VFW and American Legion, But other than that, not much recognition. After September 11, you would be amazed at how many American flags I saw being flown and the number of people coming up to me and thanking me. I thought, "What have I done? I am here in central Illinois". Then the war kicked off and the nation was divided. Some supported it, some fought against it. Well that was a year and a half ago. Regardless on your stance, we are still in it. But there are still people against involvement. So it is nice to see groups such as yours that support the troops. Not all of you may agree with why we are over here, but you support us none the less. It reinforces my belief in what I do. To know that there are total strangers throughout the country that are concerned about my well-being and the fact that I have to be in this God-forsaken country for so long without my family, makes me feel good about the core of our country. It gives me more reason to continue the fight. So I again say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for what you have done and continue doing. You are a great American and I am proud to serve you.
   As far as the cold weather items, I have not been here in the cold yet. So I cannot be too much of a help in that area. All I can tell you is anything you guys send is worth it because we, out here, know it comes from the heart. We enjoy the cards and letters. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I will continue to keep in touch. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you guys.

Semper Fidelis,

SSgt Scott M. Davis USMC

First off, I would like to thank you all for what you are doing for us. Our base is located near Bagdad. When we first arrived here in Al Asad it was extreamly hot. The weather has become a little more tollerable lately. What a relief
My unit is from MCAS Miramar San Diego CA. Our unit specializes in repairing avionics, hydraulic, powerplants and airframe structures.
Our living conditions here are not to bad. The only complaint is, no privacy. We have 220 volt power here but we have power tranformers. Everyone here is in high spirits though. We make the most of what we have here.

A few request would be :
Kool Aid (crystal light)
Gator Aod Mix
Beef Jerkey
Microwavable food
Oatmeal packets
Razors
Protien Bars
Dried Fruits
Baby Wipes
Toothpaste
Tooth Brushes
Dental Floss

Whatever you might send would mean a lot to us out here. Again thank you for what you are doing. We look forward to hearing from you.

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.)
