NOTE: The Multi-National Corps-Iraq states that anyone who owns, maintains or posts to a web site or web log must formally notify his chain of command. Any Soldier Inc. supports this policy of course and requests that you comply. Posting to this web site may fall under this policy so please check with your chain of command.
We do not allow any politics or classified information on our site, so there should not be any problems.
We welcome any Commander to email us anytime at Support@AnySoldier.com
There is a good article HERE about the new restrictions on what should not be posted on a web site. We use the method, "If in doubt, leave it out."

NOTE Army Personnel: Be sure you comply with AR 530-1 "Operations Security (OPSEC), updated 19 April 2007.

I have read the AnyMarine.com web site and understand the concept of the Any Soldier Inc. effort.

I fully understand and agree that:

  • This effort is based on the honor system and is completely voluntary.
  • This is not about ME. I agree to be a conduit of support to the folks around me. While I may ask to join for just 2-3 people, I will be expected to justify why so few. Any Marine® is NOT an adoption agency.
    If you are looking for support for yourself, contact another support group.
  • There is not another contact with us that I am already getting help from. NOTE: If you apply to be a contact and you are listed as an alternate for another contact already, both of you will be removed from this site. Multiple contacts within the same unit will also be removed unless there is a need for more than one contact.
  • I will receive mail addressed to me, with the line "ATTN: Any Marine®" (or) "ATTN: Any Female Marine" under my name.

  • I will check each and every package for contraband and safety and distribute the contents.
  • There are no safety filters in this except for me and my soldiers.
  • I realize I may get mail that is not what I consider positive or motivational. There ARE people out there that will send me political, religious, and advertising junk. I will NOT take this as a measure of our support. Any Marine®'s suggestion is that I use this junk as butt-wipe and email Support@AnySoldier.com the names and addresses of anyone sending me junk. Any Marine® will block the access of these bottom-feeders to the Any Marine® web site. I won't stop the support to my folks because some nutcase sends us junk.
  • If I get anything illegal, I will notify your chain of command immediatly, and notify Support@AnySoldier.com. I will give as much information as possible, pictures if I can, and ask my chain to keep the item as evidence. Any Marine® will contact the FBI and work with them to prosecute the offender.
  • Any Soldier Inc. tells folks not to send home-made items like cookies, and requires that your soldiers not eat anything that is not in a factory sealed package.
  • For safety's sake I will follow the, "If in doubt, throw it out!" rule. Safety comes FIRST.

  • I will pass on this mail and packages to the soldiers that don't get much or any mail first, but I am allowed to keep anything I deem I should within the intent of the effort.
  • I am not allowed to sell anything I get from this effort, send back to my family, or otherwise use for my personal gain.

  • I must provide updates at least once a month (if at all possible) by simply sending an email to Support@AnyMarine.com.
  • The only acceptable updates are text in email (No PDFs, Word Docs, etc) and pictures as attachments to the email, and AnyMarine.com will do the rest.
  • I realize that the AnyMarine.com site has a search engine so folks can identify units that request particular items. This is important so being specific is very helpful, such as: socks, white, ankle...or t-shirts, brown, short sleeve.
  • Keeping the supporters smart and interested in my updates is the way this helps me help my Marines .
  • Updates may be sent with no more than 2 pictures attached to the email. The pictures must be larger than 640 pix in width and if you are able, reduced to that size to help with bandwidth.
  • Updates will not include any pictures of family members.
  • Email addresses will not be part of any updates.

  • NOTE PLEASE: When you ask for things, PLEASE be specific! Remember, supporters want to send you the right things and YOU are the only way they know what to send. Need something like socks for example? Then be sure to mention the type, color, etc. Also, if you need anything tactical, we have a great sponsor, Extreme Outfitters. If you can provide a link or product number, anything, that really helps you get the stuff you really need and not junk from Wallymarket...

  • What I write on this application will be read by many people, so I will NOT USE ALL CAPS or all lowercase, check my spelling and grammar, etc.
  • I realize that I am talking to a mostly civilian audience, many of them are children.
