Can I send a letter to a marine corps base?

[miclexis]

Ok, my marine friends. Can I send a letter to a marine corps base without knowing if the soldier stays on base or not? Would they still give it to him if he doesn’t reside on base? I could easily ask him but I want it to be a surprise. Help me out.

You need to have him give you the duty phone for his unit.




Or the mailing address for his unit. Command will typically give this to their guys.




My question is, is this friend already past boot camp? Because if so, they will definitely have access to their phone. So sending letters will be pointless.

He’s a Sargent now. We’re going no contact so I wanted to send an anonymous card

[miclexis]

He’s a Sargent now. We’re going no contact so I wanted to send an anonymous card. So basically I’m fucked unless he gives me the information himself? Sigh 😔

Most people receive letters but I believe that he’s gotta be registered in that department of the particular Marine Corps I’m sure they would give it to him when he shows up for duty, even if he doesn’t live there, but why not just send it to his personal base wherever he’s living

[miclexis]

Because I don't know where his personal base is lol. We’ve been in no contact but I just wanted to do a cute jester

[Iron_Man]

Well how did you used to talk to him before try the same route

[miclexis]

We kinda broke up so we’re not talking rn

[Iron_Man]

Well, you say most people come back maybe he’ll contact you how long has it been?

[miclexis]

We broke up last week. 2 days before Thanksgiving 😭. It was more of a situationship but I think we bout grew feelings for each other

[Iron_Man]

Let me know if he calls you

[miclexis]

Do y'all usually reach back out after breaking up? lol I’ll keep you updated. I may need help navigating if he does!

[Iron_Man]

Oh yeah, I reach out, but I don’t usually break up with people yes I can work with you

[Jmmmfi4]

CALL THE BASE

[miclexis]

WHAT DO I SAY? 😭

[Jmmmfi4]

OBVIOUSLY YOU ASK WHAT YOU JUST ASKED

[Danny_dan92]

It doesn’t work this way.
