Contact the soldier when you find out where he or she is. Soldiers love receiving mail overseas because it gives them a taste of home amid a trying and busy deployment. If the soldier doesn't respond for a while, don't worry. They keep an extremely busy schedule and don't have time to respond right away most of the time.
