Comment by Chipmunk on September 14, 2024 at 12:27pm: Seahawks12 - You are welcome! I do my best when I can. I got my sailor family hugs and kisses recently, so I am back home for a bit, although still busy. Thank you for sticking around the BC Mom group and replying to posts there!

Comment by Seahawks12 on September 14, 2024 at 12:02pm: Chipmunk, thank you for always being such a great helper to us all! We can always count on you!

Comment by Chipmunk on September 14, 2024 at 11:22am: This is the format the USPS shows when I did a zip code look up by the address on their website.

101 NNPTC CIR # INDOC

GOOSE CREEK SC 29445-6324

FYI - Amazon, FEDEX & UPS may need to have it marked like I indicated below with just the street address and then city, state, zip. Keep the class # above that.

Depending on your PO, if you don't have the address exactly as they are able to read it, it will reject it when you go to send a package. We ran into that with my shipping things to my son's ship. Our metro postal system seemed to be updated a lot more electronically than another mom who lived in a very small town. Her post office took the package just as we had been told, but when I went to take my package with the same address to our PO and they put it into their electronic system, it rejected it. I did a lot searching using the zip code look up to figure out how to enter it correctly. It had to do with the box #. But it was rather frustrating. The address to the mailroom at Goose Creek should be easy enough.

Comment by Chipmunk on September 14, 2024 at 11:13am: Seahawks12 - Here you go! I still suggest going to the FAQ Nuke group and reading through and checking out the other information there, but I am copying and pasting the address information here for you.

Boxes, Packages and letters can be sent through Snail Mail ( US Postal Service ),

FedEX ( Federal Express ) and UPS ( United Parcel Service )

Using the below in processing address as the class number.

For those going to MM and EM Nuke A-Schools

FN Last, First MI ( note:FN or Fireman is used for MMs and EMs) ) 101 NNPTC Cir.

Class # Indoc

Goose Creek, SC 29445

For those going to ET Nuke A-School

SN Last, First MI ( note:SN or Seaman is used for ETs)

101 NNPTC Cir.

Class # Indoc

Goose Creek, SC 29445

(Class # will change to reflect current info as he progresses through the pipeline at NNPTC)

USPS, FedEx, and UPS all make daily deliveries on base during the week, so if you can send a package by those means, the student can receive it through the base mailing system.

Note – having items arrive before the student may have unpredictable results

- Seahawks12, once you have his class # that should be a combination of a letter and numbers and you write it in place of Indoc. Also, before you address the package, I would take it to the post office and double check. My training has always been that the address is read from the bottom to the top, so broadest to most specific. If that is the case then the class # should be on the line above the actual address for NNPTC. The mailman just delivers to NNPTC. The mailroom petty officers are the ones who need to know the class #.

Comment by Seahawks12 on September 13, 2024 at 9:03pm: Chipmunk, thank you! I will have the class # tomorrow when we talk again. You have made me feel much better today.

Comment by Chipmunk on September 13, 2024 at 8:54pm: Seahawks12 - You are welcome. When you find out your son's class # just plug it into the address as shown in the other group page.
