I've been away fro this thread for a while and sorry everyone have lost list.
I'm sure emma b has a copy of the list on a yahoo group. Just to let you know if you do want to write to someone in the armed forces you can also do this:- go to local Post Ofice and ask for some blueys then write your letter and address to a "Serving Soldier". The Post Office has a list of BFPO numbers Use any one of these that are in a warzone(PO should also know this too) if you want a reply stick your details on bluey. These letters get distributed ad hoc at the relevant HQ. I did this during first Gulf war and it works.:cheesy:0 -

I've just seen this thread, how do i be a penpal and if some of you are already writing to them can you send gifts as well??
Yes you can send gifts, but they can not weigh more then 2kg. You can send anything except Top Shelf Mags, Aerosols, anything in glass and fruit or meat. I know this as my brother is out serving in Afgan.
Hope this helps.Swagbucking since 24/7/14:
