MARSGRAM: message form




This is a free public service, intended to boost the morale of soldiers, airmen, sailors, and other authorized users worldwide.

Please read the public website notice.


To send a message, fill in the form below. Be specific and complete with all information. Any missing information may delay delivery of your message or cause your message to be undeliverable.

1. You can not send: initial notices of death, profanity, military troop movement information, or other sensitive information.
2. You must write your message in English.
3. Use the APO/FPO address instead of the local foreign mailing address when ever possible for messages going overseas.
4. This service is only available for messages going to or coming from the following catagories.

5. Only non-commercial messages may be sent.
6. If your message is going to personnel stationed aboard a ship, use the Navy's on-line MARSgram form instead of this form.
7. Don't forget to include the telephone number of the person you're addressing your message to. Messages without a telephone number will still, however, be accepted into the network but failure to include the telephone number may delay delivery of your message or, in some cases, cause it to be undeliverable.
8. If you don't know the complete US zipcode for the addresses in your message, please look up the zipcode through the US Postal Service now.


Messages initiated by unauthorized personnel or messages
that don't conform to the above guidelines will be deleted without action.

Select the precedence of your message:

Morale and Welfare: messages to friends and family.
Routine: messages to/from military organizations and other low precedence traffic.
Priority: messages requiring delivery faster than Routine. USE SPARINGLY.
Note: this form can not be used for traffic with precedence "Flash" (Z) or "Immediate" (O). Instead, contact the MARS station directly.

Occasionally the form server is off-line for maintenance; should you not get a response page in a reasonable time, try again later. Your message will be sent to a US Army MARS station where it will be relayed by shortwave radio to its destination. If you have questions or comments, send our AEM1USA operators a message.
