Legally no one can tell you anything, why? He is a grown adult and it is up to him to tell whomever he would like the information about what is going on.
Regarding the emergancy and using Red Cross, that is only for family members.
Keep leaving him messages, and maybe he will call you or email you when he can

So there is no way to get an mailing address? I know the base so could I put his name and then the base address? I don't know, I'm sorry I know very little about how the military works in these types of situation.

So do you suggest I address it? His name ranking and then the base's address?

I have the base address b of A school but now that he's on restriction I don't have the restriction barracks address to ensure the letter would get to him

Carrington - I sent you a PM with all the info. Just call them up.
I also totally agree with lemon, just write to the address you were originally writing to. They will forwarded it to him. It's just like when you move, they always get the letters to you somehow....

Carrington - Whatever base he's on, call the base legal. They should be able to give you the general information on the address you can write to. Just tell them "If someone is in restriction on your base, what is the general address for getting a letter to someone on restriction". They just can't give you his address, the general information is public knowledge. Since you are not specifically saying his name, it public knowledge and has no privacy act requirement. Just let them know they you already have the name, but you need the general address information so the letter gets to him.
You could also call the base post office. They will know too.... Bottomline is just don't use his name when talking to them (unless they ask), then they are not violating the privacy act.

Craig how is it that you manage to save me every time? Lol you are such a huge help! Okay so your advice to me which be call the base legal and speaking in general just ask " if someone on your base is in restriction what is the general address for getting a letter to that person?" you mention letting them know they already have the name.. I'm confused can you explain? Now, the base post office... Is that my better bet rather than going through base legal?

If it were me, I'd call the base post office 1st. They know their stuff. They can lead you to the proper address, but make sure you take to a supervisor, do talk to someone that is just there doing part time work.
What I said about legal, is talk in general terms. You don't want them to shut you off because you are talking privacy issues (ie his name). Keep it all in basic terms. What you don't want is to mention his name and have them immediately shut you down because you're not a family member. HOWEVER, if they ask for his name, then tell them. Who cares if they know it or not? It doesn't matter at this point. Just try to keep him out of the equation for now, but again, if they ask, tell them....

Okay so you would call te base post office first, any ideas of how I get that phone number? Im thinking tomorrow I will call, but once I get a supervisor where do I go from there? Ask if I could get the address for a sailor on restriction on their base?
