Dear Anysoldier,

Thank you for all the support and all the packages so far! Our vehicles have been getting a lot of maintenance done, so we have not been able to travel as much as we used to. The snacks and books and activities kept us from going hungry and insane! Our four interpreters especially love all the goodies in each box. Unfortunately on Labor day, we were hit with an IED, but fortunately, no major injuries! We are at the 7 month mark and we are all looking forward to coming home!

Respectfully,

Kevin Thomas

Address Has Changed

I know it has been a minute since my last update. We have been a little busy. Not much is new. I did get promoted to Captain at 1201 a.m. in the back of a Stryker vehicle while out on a night mission. One of our other guys pinned on Sergeant First Class as well. We do have a new mailing address. So far the support for us is up in the air. We have had three units switch out in the last three months and another one swithes out in the next few months. We are making progress out here with our Iraqi Border Police Battalion.

As far as needs, Snack foods and microwaveables work well. Popcorn and kettle corn is a hugh hit. Toilettries such as sunblock, body wash, shampoo, razors, (most of the guys use shick quatro or the new 5 blade razor), cheese nips almost started a riot and so did laffy taffy.

Book wise Dan Brown is a hit and we have all ready everything by him, but books like that are a hit as well as magazines. We gaave our risk game to the IBP commander so games are a good team builder away from Ghost Recon tournaments on Xbox. So far things are good. Not many changes have happened in our daily routine.

As guys come and go off of R&R they tell of all the support and love being shown to them by the public. It means alot to a soldier, especially for us when strangers in the store see your a soldier and come over to say thank you. I would like to say thank you for your service from Border Transition Team 02, Sinjar, Iraq.

Respectfully,

Kevin Thomas
CPT, AD

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

We are currently living in a partitioned tent. We have our own individual living sections. We do have power, but extension cords are needed. We do have a microwave and a laundry service. Microwave and coffee pots are our only ability to cook. I am currently representing a team which has no female soldiers. We need things such as tupperware containers big enough to store clothes and equipment as well as the smaller ones. Folders and file holders are needed as well. Small thinks like utility tools and flashlights help, and little trinkets to give to the local children as well as gifts to exchange with our counterparts on holidays and special occasions.

Our team is made of of Officers and NCO's from all over TRADOC, Ft. Sill, Ft. Benning, Ft. Knox, Ft. Leonardwood, and Ft. Bliss. We are a Border Transition Team (BTT) advising and training and Iraqi BN.

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 Soldier 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 Soldier!
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.)
