How does this work?

I have a friend who left for basic last month and didn't send me the info I need to mail them and can't get in touch with the family. Is this the app to use? All I have to do is search my friend's name and it will find them?

HELPPPP

Hello to the person who’ve come across this! My name is Chloe but I go by Ashanti. My boyfriend is in Navy training, in Chicago right now. He’s been there for 4 weeks, he has been sending me letters(to my grand parents address) so his letters goes there. I’ve been using this Sandboxx app that was requested from him to send my letters to him on. I sent him 2 letters so far but I feel like he hasn’t gotten one AT ALL I sent them from my address so if he did get one of the two letters I’ve sent so far he would’ve gotten my address. I’ve sent him a letter on 14/10 from the Sandboxx app and it said that it was delivered to him every letter I get from him I can tell that it’s days or weeks old. I put my number into one of the letters in hope that he’ll call that’ll let me know that he got my letters. Can anyone give me any kind of advice, I’m a very emotional wreck right now I one get his letters but he’s not getting mine. He’s been telling me that he needs to hear from me because he’s feeling discouraged, and I don’t want him to think that I’m not writing him because I have:((((

28/F/US sending You care packages/letters

Hi folks, I'm not sure how active the subreddit is – but I am hoping to send out a Care Package or Letter to a deployed redditor.

A little about me: I'm 28 years old, currently living in Tennessee (Southeastern USA). I’m relatively new to Reddit (stumbled onto it through redditgifts). I love snail mail – so this sub seemed like a perfect place to meet some like-minded folks. I have no preference on pals – you can be from anywhere, any gender, any age.

Professionally, I work in the arts... Personally - my interests are a little all over the place but I guess can be summed up with: painting, drawing, photography, calligraphy, reading (fantasy and historical fiction), archery (w/ a takedown recurve - targets only, I don't hunt animals), gardening, journaling, Netflix and playing Skyrim (Xbox household). My boyfriend and I have two dogs (a beagle and a scruffy mutt) and a ferret. I like cooking and baking, and drinking (alcoholic beverages, coffee, tea - I love them all).

I like: fairytales (both Grimm & Disney varieties), myth, folklore, fantasy, woodland, forests, history, animals, LOTR, Harry Potter, historical fiction, Neil Gaiman, classic literature (think Pride & Prejudice - but also Count of Monte Cristo).

Are you needing a little happy mail, or just a note from home? Or do you have buddy that could use a pick-me-up? Please PM me, and let me know :)

Pen pals

Hi, I'm Karla (24/F).

I'm relatively new to the US (2 years) and just found out about this whole pen pal culture, thought I'd give it a try and if I get to make a soldier's day a little better then that's two birds killed with one stone, if you're interested send me a PM.

Looking for a long distance penpal

I'm just sorta lonely, often, b/c I'm a homebody. I'm not in the armed forces, but was raised by a military man and I have mad respect for it and those that are or were in.

I'd like a long distance penpal I can send letters, cards, love of encouraging words or more (when I can afford postage!, lol,) to. Someone that needs it. Male or female.

I'm a 30-somethings female in GA, USA, just looking for a friend.

Thanks all.

Looking to send out Letters, care packages, or both

Looking for someone who doesn’t mind if my letters are typed, because my hand writing is atrocious.

I’m totally a chatter box and can honestly find anything to talk about. Also if you just want to receive random letters from me, and you don’t have the time/energy/ability to write back, I will be 100% happy to send you things without a response needed.

Just give me a heads up about if you want letters, care packages, or both. Please feel free to let me know what you want in a care package.

Will send a care package to A member of the US Armed forces who has just been deployed

I know international shipping takes a long time, even longer for military addresses. So if you've just been deployed and are looking at a long time away, I'm more than happy to send little reminders from home. No limits on location, it just has to be an official US military address. Man, woman, old young, military dog included, etc...doesn't matter. Will send to any soldier in any branch. No letter writing or reciprocation required, just enjoy the box of smiles!

Looking to be friends with a cool guy in the Armed Forces.

So like the title says I'm looking to be friends with a guy in the Armed Forces. I checked out a bunch if websites about this but they all seemed complicated. So I thought I try good old trusty reddit. I write you a letter you write me one. I'll send you some stuff you can't get where ever your deployed. It's the most OG way of shooting the shit. Not looking for anything romantic. (I say that because apparently that's a common thing.) So if a bit of snail mail sounds cool to you hit me up.
