We have recieved many letters and packages and would like to send our thanks to all those that have supported us. The contents of the packeges are shared not only with my personnel but also others that we come into ontact with daily. Our mission here has remained the same and we are gainfully employed at the momment. We have had a welcomed drop in the temperture here in Baghdad. The facilities on the Bases are improving over here as well. They just completed the construction of a Gym and a recreation center. My toops are currently back and on a break for a couple of days. Two of my other soidiers have just departed on R & R in Germany and will be back soon. As an alternate to going home on leave or anywhere else soldiers are offered a 4 day trip in Qatar. Thank you for your assistance we do appriciate your time and efforts.

Thanks, SFC David Garza

My name is SFC Garza and I support the Detention Operations mission within the 1st Calvary Division, Iraq. I am in charge of 5 soldiers (4 males and 1 female) that continously rotate between the bases within the Baghdad area to assist the soldiers running the facilities. We deployed from Ft. Lewis, WA early April 2004 and will hopefully return in March 2005. I sure do miss the WA rain, coffee and fresh air. Living conditions here vary at each location. My personnel have lived in the trailers and buildings. They have electricity, normally 110 but have purchased 220 converters when needed. Most of the locations they stayed at have showering facilites, dinning facilities, post exchange and phone centers. The worst part of their tour is the constant rotations. When they rotate they leave most of their personal gear behind and live off of what can put in a few duffle bags for about 3 - 4 weeks. The packages would be delivered by myself when I can get a convoy going to that area and drop off their mail which is every 11 days or so. If there are any Corectional/Police organizations that are willing to send some gear it would be much appreciated. We have some iron and leather restraint devices but not many and could use some suicide prevention blankets and medical wrist bands. Anything you send would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your support. Below is a list of items that they would like if possible:

Copenhagen Long Cut chewing tobacco
Kodiak chewing tobacco
AT & T phone cards
Thumb drives
Music DVDs: County, Heavy Metal, Top 40
Used Magazines: Fitness, Sports, Computers, Hunting, Collecting, etc;
Calanders with pictures of famous US locations

Thanks again

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.)
