    Hi Emma

    Can you PM me the list too? I've considered it before but never known how.

    Cheers

    hi again

    the ANY SOLDIER address is justfor one unit, where they have 30 needing penpals, pls dont all write to that address ot that unit will be swamped and the others wont have any!
    i have written to any soldier address as there are 30 needing mail, and certainly some more need to aswell but not all of us

    choose some addresses at random and write to them, inputas many addresses as you have time to do on the site they are then saved in your address book and you simply check them all off and write one letter (well thats what i did) to go to a few difrent ppl.

    the numbers in brackets on the list men thats how many in that "unit" that would like a penpal

    happy corresponding!
    lets see who is the first to get a reply !!

    ps some one tell martin about this and get it on his email (or get me post of the month and fifty quid for my wedding LOL this has turned into a job for me!) my inbox is now empty again for hte 4 th time iva had soooooo many pms its fab!

    er can i just also issue a word of caution, as one poster mentioned she was "conned" by one guy who was married and was hassled by his wife. Well can i just advise a word of caution when giving out personal information & home addresses...

    sorry to be a party pooper cos this is a great idea & im really up for it, our troops do a fab job without a lot of recognition... but please be cautious.

    thanks for that and i want to also point out that i am simply forwarding information i received myself after i responded to a letter in the sun, like the notw one mentioned here, i presume. some ppl are pming me thinking i have set up some kind of penpal service, or its my idea, but its not, i just thought this was a good board to mention it on and spread the word really.

    obviously ppl need to air on the side of caution but please dont be put off writing im sure many of the men and women out there are genuine, if some1 starts being creepy then stop writing to them!!

    you do need to put your address on the ebluey site, just as you would with a written letter so ppl know where to write back to!

    Em x
