Anyone on here got any?

My cousin is in Afghanistan at the moment and given the amount of lads we have lost over there, I wanna write to him to keep his spirit up. Only thing is me and his mum and step dad dont really see eye to eye. So I cant ask them for the info or stuff on contacting him

I was wondering if anyone who had relatives or friends in the forces had a information line or email address I could skank so I can send a letter to my cousin.

Funnily enough I dont think Vodafone can get a signal in Afghanistan or I would of rang him.............

Cant you ask another family member who may have the info? Maybe obvious so sorry if you have already tried.

go to the post office and ask for 'Blue's' as you have a relative in Afganistan...should give you a load of blue letters over the desk. As for the address....could you not ask one of your family members who might see eye to eye and have a word with them?

My mate is currently in Afgan, and i have had a few mates been there. Dad was in the forces and went to Iraq when it was extremely bad...

You will need a BFPO number, then all you would need is his name and then rank on the letter with the bfpo address and it should get sent out mate

not sure how to find the bfpo tho, if you know his regiment could be worth typing it into google and then seeing what comes up

I suppose I could its whether or not ill get the info off them to be honest. Before he went away he was a little bit strange and diddnt leave me the stuff this time round. He was having a bad time with this absolute bitch of a gf he has. (4 kids 3 different dads, from a council estate, with alcoholism and drug abused background)

Raz does your dad know of any addresses or numbers I can call to get in touch with him?

He's in 2 Para Yatesy.

For some reason I forgot (like a spack) you were in the forces

I have tried the website but its pretty complex (given the timescale I had to look at it)

Cheers
