Your living conditions and special requests?
- Currently in tents, rumors that we will be in hardened CHUs in the next couple of months.

Do you have electricity, 110 or 220, live in tents, on the ground, in buildings, do you need food, etc.?
We have pretty reliable 110VAC, generator based. Food is good but snacks would be very cool.

Are you representing your squad, platoon, company, wing, ship, etc.?
I am the squad leader for 1st SQ, F Co 2-12 IN.

Include special requests for the female Soldiers if you can.
Tell us what you need and want. Be Specific! Clothes? What size, color, etc...
Female troops? Don't forget their needs! Be specific (ask them!!) (ethnic?)
I will have to verify with SSG Hurt (African-American Female) if there's anything special she would need. I imagine female hygeine items and 'girly' stuff.. Anything pink would make her smile.

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.

We are based out of Ft Carson, CO. My flight was the last flight here.

From talking with the guys here, socks, drink mixes (individual one serving packets), hot sauce, gloves (rubber and lightweight). Due to my position, anything sent that we can not use will be saved and taken up to Korengal KOPs

Thank you very much for all you do. I used to be in the forums back when we received orders to fly, my ID was manchumile. If you send anything, please, if it's admissible, include a return address so we can send you thank you cards and photos.

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 soldiers.

Be sure to change the "ATTN" line to "ATTN: Any Female Soldier" if your package is for a female soldier!

DO NOT expect, or require, a reply from a soldier.
DO NOT use this program if you expect or require a reply.
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, during war they move around a lot, often they become part of even 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 number may be for a large unit, or a location. An APO number for Baghdad today may be for Frankfurt tomorrow.

(Note 3.): The "Expected to leave" 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 a war, it IS the military, we ARE dealing with the APO. The only thing that does not change in the military is that things will change. PLEASE NOTE that a soldier will be dropped off our active list 30 days PRIOR to their end date to 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 soldiers 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 soldiers.
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 mailing restrictions courtesy of Oconus.com (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 ...)
