People in the military look forward to getting their mail more than almost anything else (except maybe leave). A great way to support the troops, without having to donate a lot of money or spend a lot of time you might not have, is through military penpals. This unique opportunity will allow you to share experiences and interests with someone traveling around the world, fighting in real battles, who you probably have never met. It is likely to be one of the most important things for the soldier whose penpal you become, as well. In this article, we’ll take a quick look at some of the do’s and don’ts of being a military penpal, as well as how military penpals can help you get started on finding one.

The most important thing to remember about military penpals is, by far, don’t press them about their experiences there. A good way for soldiers to avoid post traumatic stress syndrome is to vent off their more harrowing experiences to one or two people, and therapy after they return often comes too late to be really effective. However, you are more likely to annoy or offend a soldier by pushing him or her to tell you about what’s happened to them so far. If they want to tell you about what’s happening with them, they will tell you on their own, or ask for permission to do so.

Conversely, ask them about their interests and hobbies, what they did as a civilian and if they plan to return to being one, and tell them about your life. The reason soldiers like having penpals is to remind them of home, and one of the most rewarding things about having military penpals is the unique interest in home they can provide. Of course, you also get to watch another person grow along with you, which is one of the most beautiful things a person can ask for.
