Military pen pals is a category of pen pals that has become very popular in recent years. If you go back to the millenium and look at search statistics you’ll find that hardly anyone was searching for military pen pals in those days (when compared with other types of pen pals searches).

Perhaps it’s the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, combined with the growing ease of use of the Internet that has led to this great upsurge of interest in military pen pals. Now it seems almost as if everyone wants a pen pal in the military!
In its endeavours to provide some of the best information about growing trends, SingleDating.com now has a small but growing section covering military pen pals, called, not surprisingly Military Pen Pals. This site provides a useful profile search point to our recommended military pen pals service, Military Pen Pals at MilitaryPenPal.net, a professionally run site where you can find all kinds of military pen pals, be it soldier pen pals, air force pen pals, marines pen pals or forces pen pals in general. (Watch out that there are many amateurish military pen pal sites out there).
Military Pen Pals, the page at SingleDating.com, also offers an article full of useful advice about etiquette (netiquette?) when emailing military pen pals and what you must be aware of. These are things you should know before seeking military penpals, so read the advice on the page first!
