Help!\n\n My fiance is at Fort Knox right now and he got to call on easter and give me his address (since his letter with all that info hasnt arrived). Well it still hasnt arrived so I sent off all the letters (over 10) that I had written so far and had been holding on to until I got his non-reception address. Well, dumb me I think i wrote down an S instead of an F (kinda hard of hearing when the reception is bad!) and so I think I put INS instead of INF? (As in B-Co I-48INS3rdPOP instead of B-Co I-48INF3rdPOP). Will he still get my mail? It has his rank and everything and fort knox so it will be at the same location, just dont know if he will get it!

Oh, Honey, how awful! I hope the original ring turns up but until then, here's what I would do...replace the ring and tell him AFTER he gets home...no reason to have him upset while he's deployed, but when he gets back you two can do something special, maybe recreate the proposal, with the new ring... I hope that your "real" ring turns up...it probably will, the day the jeweler is done resizing the new one....most of all,I hope his homecoming is swift and safe

email, or ask his mom or wife or family. one of them has to have it, or know who they can ask for it. When my ex was deployed, I got his address as well as a contact person in case anything happened.

I am not a soldier...anymore.  I was active duty army for 2 1/2 years and also did a tour in Iraq.  I am now a soldier's wife.  My husband just left a week ago.  I know what you are going through.  You need to understand though that when he says he doesn't want you to worry...that's the truth.  I told my husband before he left that I don't want to know if he gets fired upon, has to shoot anyone, etc.  I would rather just stay in a lovely state called denial. LOL  When I was in Iraq I made that mistake of telling my mom when I was shot upon...I never told her about another incident.  I didn't want her to worry. (Keep in mind...is was there in the beginning)  Give him some time...hopefully he will start having some stories that he cares to share soon.  I am am yahoo messenger quite a bit...my email address is in my profile.  Keep your head up...good luck!

Welcome to the rewrite e-mail club.\n\nNot long ago I spent a good amount of time giving my oldest son, that's in the military and was in in Iraq at the time, some well thought out advice.  I left the e-mail compose area of hotmail to reference something on the Internet and when I returned, I returned to a new, blank e-mail compose page.  Man, was I pissed!\n\nI complained about this to the hotmail staff and they told me that it is standard procedure for hotmail for the sake of security, that is, any unfinished e-mail is erased.  Who thought this one out I'll never know.\n\nAnyway, my remedy now is whenever I do write something that I put an extra effort into, or is vital, I run a copy of it onto an MS Word page.  This new habit has turned out to be a blessing because with my style of writing, which is to brain-storm first and edit a whole bunch later, I can correct then paste and repaste to the e-mail.\n\nIf you don't have MS Word, use Notepad or Wordpad.

Being former us Navy, I know that abbreviations and acronyms abound in the Navy culture to an extreme. If I were tryign to mail a letter, I would address it as normal but put a ATTN: CNATTU line below the name. This will helpthe base post office help sort out where to deliver it.\n\nI hope this helps.

I cannot believe how many people are baffled by this.  I weep for the future.\n\nYou need to send the mail to the address that they give you.  This could be a residential addres, commercial or a PO Box.  You do not need any sort of address to send mail (although it helps, in case it needs to be returned to you for some reason).\n\nAddresses are written on the envelope or postcard like this:\n\nKiki\n123 Main St.\nDetroit, MI 44444\n\nor:\n\nKiki\nP.O. Box # 7\nDetroit, MI 44444

Well, maybe you've already tried this but here is the suggestion anyway. :).  I just searched his name on yahoo and came up with a few web sites with his picture.  you could also just try vic.zachary@us.army.mil.  Most soldiers have this as an email address, well, I mean they choose this style.  Good luck!  Oh I copied a couple of the web site shortcuts to my answer but it doesn't look like it worked to well.  Also, if you know which base he's from, you can contact the bases Rear Detachment, they'll definitely be able to help you.  GOOD LUCK!\n\nhttp://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LaSvCGt5VE0jkBBSlXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE3ZGRmczZoBGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMwRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANGNzU0XzE3OA--/SIG=11r6smkju/EXP=1150748934/**http%3a//www.inspiritnews.com/Troops.html\n\n\n\nhttp://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LaSuQYt5VEEhUBW6ZXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE3N3MwcXZrBGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMgRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANGNzU0XzE3OA--/SIG=12gtat4ru/EXP=1150748824/**http%3a//www.arcent.army.mil/cflcc_today/2003/may/may15_17.asp

I'm sorry...I'm not from the UK...but I'm answering this because I have given my address to a few people...but ONLY because they lived overseas. (One in Germany, one in Korea) I know it's not the UK, but I feel safer giving my address out and doing the whole "pen pal" thing because chances of them coming all the way from wherever they are is pretty slim, so I don't really have to worry about any unwanted or unexpected visitors. Plus, It's so much fun to get a letter from overseas!\n\n:)

Consider yourself prayed for.   This will be a first for me, praying for someone using their screen-name, but that's all you gave me.   \n\nI'll have you in my prayers.  Feel free to email me if you want.

Possibly .. I mean, here we have a solider who is going into a battle front and he may/may not be wounded, shot down, captured, all of the above, I personally want to thank him for defending our freedom's but as you can see this might have a "unfortunate" outcome. It is nice that you found someone that admires you and you him, just keep in mind of the possibilities that await you and all of the other families that have loved ones in Iraq right now. I don't want to tell you this is wrong or try to "throw salt" on the game in any way. BY ALL MEANS keep in touch with him he will need the correspondence, and if you "solider boy" make it back home, take some time to thank him properly.

While I understand your question, most things should be written out on formal addresses, I just wouldn't on that one. It just seems awkward. But it's up to you, it's not wrong to write it out.

Navy mom here. First----((((BIG HUG))). Next, you need to learn the Navy Mom mantra. Probably applies to all military moms--No news, is good news!. Unfortunatley, it's true. \n\nHe should have, but is not guaranteed, been able to call you the night he arrived at RTC (Recruit Training Command). There are a variety of reasons he might not have been able to, so don't worry. And I know, it's hard not to do. Since you haven't heard from him, you can call (847) 688-2405 and give them his full name and social security number. They won't be able to let you talk to him or get a message to him, but they will tell you he's arrived and what Division he's in. Once you have his Division number is, you can then got to the website I've posted under sources below and get his mailing address. \n\nYou'll probably get your first "real" phone call about week 3. But again, there are MANY variables to this including who his RDC's (Recruit Division Commander aka Drill Instructor) are. Your son may be doing quite well, but if someone else is messing up, they may all lose phone privileges. I know. It's not fair. But...\n\nBe sure to check out the other information they have at the website, including Pass in Review (Graduation). You will be able to watch for the date of his PIR on the website too. If there is ANY way you can go, then go. I promise it will be one of most moving experiences of your life. Start making plans now to attend.\n\nI can NOT stress this enough. Start writing him ASAP. Send as often as you possibly can. It's doesn't matter the length. A few lines on the back of a napkin is like gold to them. But don't try to send him any type of care package. It won't be allowed.\n\nShortly, you should start receiving a few things. One will be a "form" type letter from him with his address. But you can beat the letter if you call for the Division number. You should also receive "the box" any day now. The Navy is the only branch that does this and it can be heartbreaking. It will contain every stitch of clothing he was wearing and anything else he took with him. I sat down in the middle of the floor and cried like a baby when our son's came. Then again, he will be given the option to donate his clothes to charity so if the box doesn't come, don't let it worry you.\n\nYou may also want to check out navymomsonline.com. They are a SUPER group and will give you all kinds of support and information. \n\nAgain, I can't stress enough to write, write, write. And when you don't get much back, try to remember that they are only allowed to write on Sundays. \n\nTake care of yourself and try to remember that your son has given you a very special gift. He made you a Navy Mom. You may not understand it just yet, but the day will come when this new honor will touch you to the center of your soul and make you weep with pride.\n\nNavy Hugs.

If you want to send a care package or be a penpal, the best site to use is AnySoldier.  There, you will find troops from all branches of the military and all ranks and both sexes listed.  It will state if they want a penpal or what items they or their unit could use in a care package.  It will also give their address so that you can send it directly to them.\n\nThank you for your willingness to support our troops.  Morale and knowing the people back home care is a huge part of their lives.  Please just be cautious of websites asking for donations and such.  Even during this time and for this cause, there are many scams out there.  \n\nIf you'd like links to any other sites, please leave a message here and I'll post them for you.  I try not to post all of them because there's quite an extended list, but most of them are ones that we in the military are told are safe and trusted.  I usually just post the source link for what I think is best suited for what's being asked.\n\nThanks again from and Army wife of 18 years and 3 deployments!!

By accident he might have gotten the email addy wrong, send him a email so he can see if it is correct. Ask him to reply to it so you and he both can make sure. Otherwise I can't see how the court would or could make you prove he sent them or your son recieved them. Computers mess up all the time.
