My friend is US Army and has recently been posted to Iraq. I have been given an address and my friend and I asked to write out to him, but I am not at all sure if our forces mail service will even recognise the address as obviously it is totally different to a BFPO with it being a US camp. In the UK we have blueys we can send to the British boys and I want to know if anyone will know if they can also be used to send to american camp. If not does anyoneknow if my letter will even get there through BFPO? I have e-mailed BFPO to ask them and have had no response.
I'd appreciate any knowledge anyone has on this.

Im in same situation, make sure it has the correct address on it, then becuase u are outside the states, make sure u put USA on the bottom becuse it will go via them to get to ur friend. This also helps when you pay for postage as they then charge as if it was going to the states.
Dont use blueys. just a regular envelope. good luck, let me know if u need any more info, ill help if i can.

If a bluey did get through it would be more by accident than design. When my niece was there she used email to keep in touch, although time was very limited. I have racked my brains to think of how you'd send to an AFO address from the UK and can't think of one.
btw, BFPO is useless at replying to emails on things like this. They think the FAQs on the website take care of everything.

If he gave you an APO AE address, it will work. Of course, it will take the long way to get there but it will get there anyway.
