The lines of an official mail address are discussed
in the following paragraphs:
Title of Official in Charge —Navy correspondence
will be addressed to the official in charge of the
activity (such as Director, Commander, Commanding
Officer, and so forth). When known, the action
officer’s name may be placed at the end of this line or
an optional line may be used to identify a specific
person or section within the activity.
Optional Line —This line may be used to direct
mail to a specific person or section when the name of
the activity line and the title of official in charge line
do not adequately identify the addressee.
Name of Activity —Although the long title will
still appear in the Standard Navy Distribution List
(SNDL), for addressing purposes, the short title Plain
Language Address (PLA), less city and state, will be
used. For example, the activity line for Commander,
Naval Supply Systems Command, will be addressed
“COMNAVSUPSYSCOM.”
Delivery Address—This line, except for ships,
will consist of either a street address, post office box
number, postal service center number, and box number
or unit number.
Examples
Street Address: 1775 JOHN PAUL JONES BLVD
Post Office Box Number: PO BOX 405
Postal Service Center Number: 4 PSC 467 BOX 291
Unit Number: UNIT 30001
Unit Number with Box Number: UNIT 62001 BOX 426
City, State, ZIP+4 Code —The post office (city),
state and ZIP+4 will appear in that order on the bottom
line of the address. Except for MPO addresses, the
standard two-letter abbreviation will be used for the
state. In the case of MPO addresses, APO or FPO is
used instead of the city and “AE” (Armed Forces
Europe), “AA” (Armed Forces Americas), or “AP”
Armed Forces Pacific) rather than the state.
