^^^^^^

This is a definite scam.

The US Army would not write to you from a free email account (which is what the Yahoo address is).

The army and the soldier are the same scammer, which is why the original contact has not asked you for any money. If you pay the $350 then there will be some reason why the soldier cant visit you (probably needing you to send more money).

I would advise you to cease all contact with both the "soldier" and the "army" as they are just looking to scam you out of your hard earned money.
