Request to Volunteer as Contact for Any Soldier Inc.

Contact Application

Please don't waste your time, take this application seriously. We do.

I understand that this effort is based on the honor system. This application is NOT about me, it is about the folks I can help. I am to pass on the mail and packages I get with an address line of "Attn: Any Soldier" to the Soldiers that don't get much or any mail first, but I am allowed to keep anything I deem I should within the intent of our effort. I am free to check each package for contraband or how I want to distribute the contents. I am not free to sell anything I get from this effort.
I have read the Any Soldier Inc. web site and wish to be a volunteer contact:

Please be careful with your wording! You are likely NOT allowed to ask for anything. But, good chance you can tell us what you need or don't have. When you mention things, PLEASE be specific! Remember, supporters want to send you the right things and YOU are the only way they know what to send. Need something like socks for example? Then be sure to mention the type, color, etc. Also, if you need anything tactical, we have a great sponsor, Extreme Outfitters that supporters can order from. If you can provide the link (URL) to the item(s) you need, that really helps you get the stuff you really need and not junk from Wallymarket...

Are you a Marine with the 1st MEF (or ANY Marine unit)?
In compliance with the Policy on "Solicitation of Gifts", 23-10, there is nothing stopping you from applying for support, just do NOT request any items or gifts.

PLEASE read and comply with the above policy before you apply with us.
We want you supported, not in trouble.

Female troops? Don't forget their needs! Be specific (ask them!!) (ethnic?)

Be sure to say what State you and your unit are from, many folks want to know. Folks want to know who they are supporting, tell them about you and your unit.
Note that what and how you write here is what will be seen and reflects on you.

REMEMBER OPSEC HERE!
Do NOT mention unit strength numbers or your location!!!
We do NOT want to know how big your unit is
or where it is!! But the bad guys do...
