From the Soldier:

28 Aug 2009:
Hello everybody,
We live in a desert environment. Dust is everywhere. We all live in rooms, 2 or 3 people per room. We have 220 outlets. Many of us would very much like snacks and other kinds of foods that you would eat each day at your own home. We have no kitchens in our rooms and we eat at the DFAC most of the time. Some of the soldiers do have refrigerators in their rooms but not all of us. Microwaves would be nice for most people. We don't always have the time for DFAC and being able to heat something up in our room would be good. That way we will not be late for work!
I am representing my company and we all have the basic needs such as toothpaste, toothbrush's, deoderant/antipersirant, shaving cream, razors, etc... This would be for both men and women.
We are a multi-racial company with the men and women mixed with the same ratio %. I hope that is clear.
We do have a laundry service so laundry supplies are not neccesary.
Many of us smoke cigarettes, so those would be nice for the soldiers as well. Menthol and regular, full flavor and lights. Most of the soldiers are not smoking their regular brand because they are not available so no cigarettes will be turned down.
Cleaning supplies would be beneficial as well. Brooms, the swiffer kind for sweeping and mopping would be best, dusting wipes, glass cleaner, and towels for cleaning would be about it for that.
Paper, envelopes, pens, pencils, disposible cameras, and phone cards -AT&T only, would be most appretiated as well.

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?"

(1.): 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.

(2.): 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.

(3.): This is an approximate location. Due to safety and security concerns may not be their exact location

(4.): 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".

(5.): 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.

(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.)
