 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jessica Bidwell. The holiday season is fast approaching and the Navy wants to make sure your mail gets to the right destination. A nav admin was released announcing the new standardized fleet post office or FPO mail address formats for ships, mobile units and FPO shore commands. The new system is similar to those used for residential addresses and will improve service and reduce mail transit times. The change will include a new unit number and virtual box number along with a five digit zip code. A float commands began converting to the new system October 1st with personal addresses starting November 15th. The new format is already in effect for shore FPO's. For more information, log on to the Navy personnel command website.
