My company signed up for AdoptAUSSoldier's frontlines program. Trying to get a package together for the holidays.
There are several acronyms which I'm fairly certain are the rank of the contact person, but I'd like to be sure.
I don't want to post anything publicly for security reasons - especially since I don't know what it is I'd be posting. Would someone be willing to contact me through FReepmail and help decipher?
Drop me a PM.
You need to post more info so we can assist you.
APO = Army Post Office
FPO = Fleet Post Office.
You know, it’s always baffled me... officers rank insignia; why are the lessor ranks (i.e., 2nd Lt., Maj.) gold, and the higher rank (1st Lt. Lt. Col.) silver?
Gold is more coveted. Has higher monetary value, doesn’t tarnish, and holds a higher place on the periodic table.
So what’s the deal?
Thanks everyone. Several FReepers have contacted me to help. It is very much appreciated.
Thank you for doing care packages. They mean so much to those who are deployed.
