Try looking up www.vatican.va for a list of Catholic churches close to you. The results might be surprising. Or try goggling Catholic churches in the desert. Or better yet, just ask your army chaplain to let you confess to him. I think that is what they are there for.

I’m assuming you are currently deployed?
If you can find a Catholic priest, then you could just ask him. Otherwise, God knows your heart, and if you are repentant He would not hold it against you if you could not make it to confession.

I am deployed. That helps a lot. I thought the same but needed some more advise on it thank you.

i heard from a priest once that if you are truly sorry for your sins, and repent, God will forgive you. But nothing can replace the sacrament of confession, its def a sure fire way of being forgiven and one receives many graces from going.

Fr. John Hardon S.J.always suggested to make a good examination of conscience and then make a perfect act of contrition before going to sleep at night. Good advice for us all. God Bless, Memaw

Find a Catholic Priest Chapl. and ask him to hear your confession.
In the meantime ask God for the grace to make an act of perfect contrition (out of love of God)
Here is what that is:
1452 When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called “perfect” (contrition of charity). Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible.51
1453 The contrition called “imperfect” (or “attrition”) is also a gift of God, a prompting of the Holy Spirit. It is born of the consideration of sin’s ugliness or the fear of eternal damnation and the other penalties threatening the sinner (contrition of fear). Such a stirring of conscience can initiate an interior process which, under the prompting of grace, will be brought to completion by sacramental absolution. By itself however, imperfect contrition cannot obtain the forgiveness of grave sins, but it disposes one to obtain forgiveness in the sacrament of Penance.52

There is an Archdiocese for the Military which sends chaplains in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Chances are, there is one of them around, somewhere…hopefully!
The Church teaches that contrition out of sorrow for having offended God (called “perfect” to distinguish it from the imperfect contrition out of fear of hell) united with the firm intention to confess as soon as possible suffices to remit mortal sin and restore sanctifying grace.

Pray for the opportunity to go. It might seem like a long-shot, but I have found that God has a way of answering those prayers.
