The link below takes you through to the
Support Our Soldiers Message Forum
This is a great place to leave your messages of support, to let people know about forthcoming events and to chat and share your thoughts and feelings with others who have loved one currently serving in the Armed Forces.
We've a wonderful group of people who post on a regular, almost twenty four hour basis, and these include mums, dads, wives, girlfriends, grans, grandads, children and siblings of Servicemen and women.
Everyone is made welcome, and you don't have to have a loved one in the services, you just need to be a very proud supporter of our brave lads and lassies.
To keep the Forum as it is - friendly, non-political and non-contoversial, there are some basic rules and some important information that we need you to be aware of. These are detailed below - please do read before clicking through!

FORUM RULES
We welcome posts from families or friends with loved ones in the Armed Forces
We also welcome posts from those who don't have family serving, but who simply want to say hello!
Messages of support to our lads and lassies are great - they show that people do care about them and are a wonderful morale booster
Poems - a good way to express feelings and much appreciated when shared with us. There is a special post for these
Jokes are also okay, and again there is a separate category for these but please remember that there are younger family members checking in, so these MUST be restricted to clean ones only!!
Questions - if you need to know more about sending eblueys, posting parcels or other related subject then hopefully we will be able to help
Post when you're feeling down - we do understand as so many of us have been in the same position, but also -
Post when you're up too. DON'T apologise or feel guilty about saying that a loved one is on there way home, or similar good news. It's great to hear this and even those who may still have to wait a little longer will share your happiness with you.
But!
Political comments. We do not permit any kind of political comment. There are other sites where these can be posted - ours is NOT the place to do so.
Swearing or other abusive language. The system will automatically convert any words it deems unfit and whilst the occasional d***m is okay, but that is as far as it goes.
Arguments. Any thread which, for whatever reason, turns from a discussion into an argument will be removed.
Links to other websites. If you want to post a link to an external website permission MUST be given from Karen or Agnes first. This is simply a matter of courtesy and again, if permission has not been granted the post WILL be removed.
NO information which could cause a security threat to our Armed Forces. By all means tell us your loved ones first name and regiment if you wish to do so, but NO service numbers, surnames, exact dates for R&R or returning home, and NO flight details
Pictures or videos are NOT permitted
Please also note that whatever you post on the forum goes into the 'public domain'. This means that when you post a message it will be viewable if searched on Google or other search engine.
When you place a post the form will ask for your name, email address and website details. The only compulsory item here is a name, and this if you wish can be a nickname.
It's entirely up to you whether or not you add your email address, but please do note that it will be viewable without restriction!
Finally, all posts are checked, and any which are felt to be inapproriate removed.
However if you're upset, offended or concerned by any that have been listed, please email us directly with details and we will look into this for you.
Thanks for your co-operation, and enjoy your posting!
