Fill out the address correctly
You must address all mail to a specific Marine. You can no longer address mail to "Any Servicemember" or "Any Marine" due to security concerns.

Mail it early
Letters and packages take anywhere from as little as 7 days up to 21 days to arrive in Iraq. Especially during holidays, assume it will take 3 weeks to get there so plan accordingly. Same applies to important dates such as birthdays. Letters and cards less than 13 ounces are sent First Class Mail while everything more than 13 ounces is sent Priority Mail.

Use free USPS Flat Rate shipping materials
The U.S. Postal Service will send you free Flat Rate shipping boxes, Customs forms, Priority Mail labels and tape for sending packages to Iraq. Call 1-800-610-8734, select option 1 (Express Mail, Priority Mail or Global Express) and ask the service agent for the Military Kit (or Mili-Kit). By using Flat Rate boxes, you can save substantially on postage. The local Post Office will also have these on hand if you want to pick them up locally.

List the Marine's address inside the package
This will ensure your package gets to the soldier in the event that the address on the box is unreadable or the box has been opened or is damaged.

You may also want to number your letters and packages to Iraq as they may not always be delivered in order, and to ensure that they all get to the soldier.

Check the size and weight
Your package can't be more than 84 inches long or be more than 130 inches when you total up the length (the longest side) plus the girth (thickest portion), or weigh more than 70 lbs.

"To all whom this may concern, I would personally like to thank all of those who have recently contributed their time and efforts in what I believe to be an awe-inspiring and frankly quite dramatic display of support from the home-front. The correspondence and care packages have been coming in at an overwhelming and nearly monumental pace. The "Any Soldier" campaign has seen tears from some, given hope to most, and has been inspirational to us all. Your relentless support has provided the simple reminder that any one of us would proudly die for a grateful nation in our ongoing fight against terrorism." "Freedom is not Free" Sergeant Brian Horn Iraq, Nov 2003 "I couldn't be any more proud to have been apart of such an honorable organization as AnySoldier.com. This is priceless, and I would like to thank all of you who entrusted me to be your contact. To have been able to distribute the mail personally as a contact to soldiers who get next to no mail at all and for that brief moment see the look of hope in their faces of good things to come. The hope that somebody out there does care. That somebody does in fact love them as they deservingly should be loved. The hope that some day their involvement in the fight on terror was to preserve those that believed in them so much through and through, until their fight was done. We fight so that maybe, just maybe your grandchildren won't have to. Pray for us in all that we do." Sergeant Brian Horn Afghanistan, Nov 2005 Responding to the many requests we get from folks looking for pre-packaged care packages, we are proud to introduce "TreatAnySoldier.com"! There you will find several care packages designed by Sergeant Brian Horn's Mom, who was an Army MP herself. With Brian she developed packages that are sure to be appreciated. For folks who simply don't have the time, or just can't leave home and want to do something, this is just the thing. You can include a letter sent inside the package.
