[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Meaning of APO, etc.

GHICKS@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Gregory Hicks) (08/19/90)

APO  ==>  Army Post Office;  An office that routes mail for US Army units
          stationed outside the continental US.

FPO  ==>  Fleet Post Office;  An office that routes mail for US Navy
          units. For security reasons, ALL ships mail goes to an FPO.

PAL  ==>  Parcel Airlift;  Normally parcels go overseas via ship with
          a delivery time of 30-45 days.  Sending a small parcel via
          PAL ensures that the Parcel goes via Air instead of
          ship.
