If you know the installation where he is training, you may send it to the post locator there. Their office will locate the individual and forward mail to him. Be sure to include his social security number on the envelope so that he can be successfully located.

edit:
Including their Social Security number is not necessary, and you'd probably be better advised not to write that on the envelope.
You would need to what unit they're assigned to. The address would read out
(Service member's name - roster number optional)
(Unit - for example, "A 1/38 IN")
(Post.. would be written out just like city and state, for example, "Fort Benning, GA" or "Fort Jackson, SC", or "Fort Sill, OK", etc.)
And the zip code at the bottom.
And you just mail it the way you would any other letter.

You address the envelope to the person and only put "X, Y and guest" on the invitation.
Same as to anybody else. Put the name and address of the person clearly in the center of the envelope.
Yes, only if you want it to get to the same entity/person as is on the inside.
I would address it as follows: First name "nickname" Last name
welll were not as stupid as you think. we can read and address as good as the next person.
no their is not such a thing as an ex marine or army men! There is a saying, "You can take the boy out of the service, but you can't take the service out of the boy." Substitute "army" or "Marines" for "service." The reality of this is that military training is such that the person who reports to Basic Training is not the person who leaves; the soldier and Marine are made into a new person with new perceptions and abilities.
On the envelope in the left upper corner you have the return address for ex. the first thing would be your first and last name then below that write your address below that... you put your city, state, and zip code!

A self-addressed envelope is an envelope with your address on the front of it in the MAIL TO area. If the ad/directions include SASE...this means self-addressed stamped envelope. In this case, you would include postage so the company/organization/person can mail your request to you.
Married or not , this person may be rightly addressed as Dr.
Because if you are sending a letter to a person named Jimmy Slim, there could be lot's of Jimmy Slim's, but hopefully only one in the address you have put on the envelope.
Placing address properly and accurately on an envelope will ensure that the letter will reach its destination. Generally, addressing an envelope is easy, especially if you have performed this task quite a bit. Addressing envelopes has rules, but they are all the same whether you will be writing it, printing it or using address labels. To give you ideas, here are some simple instructions on how to properly put addresses on an envelope. • Use a black ink when you are writing or printing on envelopes. A black ink will make it easier to read, even if the envelope gets wet. Aside from that, you should also ensure that the sizes of the letters are large enough to be read, even if it is held three feet away. • The longest side should be on top when you are holding your envelope. The delivery address will be placed about one inch to the left of the center of the envelope. It should also be placed two thirds of the width of the envelope down from the top, in the front portion of the envelope. • On the top line of every delivery address, you will have to write the name of the person whom you will be sending the letter to. You need to use the correct title for the person. After the name of the person, you have to put the street address of the person. Following the street address would be the city, the state abbreviation and the zip code. • Once you are done with the delivery address, do not forget to write the return address. The return address will be placed on the top, left- hand corner on the front portion of your envelope. The format to use should be the same as the delivery address. It is important to properly place addresses on the envelope, so that you will be assured the letter will be received by your recipient. Make sure that when you write the address, it should be written legibly and clearly.
A self-addressed envelope is an envelope that already has your address written on it and is provided to someone with the expectation that they will use it to send you something back. This is commonly used for returning forms, documents, or correspondence.
