Keebs, look through this thread for a post put on here by someone named CeltcNewAger. In that post there is a link that you can click on that will take you to a site that will let you adopt a soldier.

Suda, I haven't gotten the letter yet. I hope to get it really soon though. I hope. Keep your fingers crossed.


I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha

hmmm... i still don't know how to get a pen pal soldier because in the website, it only has choices for US states. I am not from the US, so i would like some help on how to get a soldier even if i am not from the States.

I should be getting a response to the letter I sent my adopted soldier in a couple of days. I can't wait. I can't tell you how excited I am about it. I promise to post something on here when I get it.

For your sis, use a dating service. It's against the rules to flirt with your soldiers. Plus, if you're the oldest and you're 18, it can get both your sister and the soldier in a hell lot of trouble if they send risqué messages to one another.


I never said me and my sis WOULD flirt with soldiers. Besides, I am not the flirty type and neither is my sis. I just want to experience having a pen pal soldier that is all..... I never said i want to HAVE A FLIRTY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. Of course not, besides, if they are in the military all through their lives, they certainly have less time for romance. I just want to experience having a soldier pen pal, is all.

Cool Hydrok. I hope it goes well and goes through. I think that it would be nice to start out early when they are in basic training to let them know that people still care instead of already waiting until they are overseas somewhere like Iraq.

I sent a proposal to YNLissa, if all goes well you may be able to send some new recruits some encouraging mail to help em battle it out through basic training.

I havnt read all the posts so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but you can get a soldier pen pal through the U.S. Army. Just go their website and you'll find a section about programs to help the soldiers. Once you get their, go to the program called My Soldier and sign up Smile

I hope you and your sis can get a penpal. If she gets a female pen pal and you get a guy pal maybe ya'll could switch. But it's whatever floats your boat.

In what country do you live Jamaica? Maybe it will let you still have a soldier pen pal even if you live outside of the States.
