Address????

[mrs76peeps]

Quick question - we got our form letter today. The address inside on the letter is 

SR LAST NAME, FIRST NAME MI

SHIP ## DIV 434

RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND

USS NAME OF SHIP

Great Lakes, IL 60088-3401

However, on the outside of the envelope in the return address area she has written

SR LAST NAME, FIRST NAME MI

SHIP ##, USS SHIP, DIVISION 434

#### SAILOR DRIVE

GREAT LAKES, etc...

Which one of those is correct? Does the street name matter, or is the ship name sufficient?

My son always wrote his return address like the last one you noted. However, the form letter instructed me to write it like the first address you wrote with the major exception being the street address went where the ship name was. Basically, I never wrote the ship name, so my Form letter  address looked like this:

SR LAST NAME, FIRST NAME MI

SHIP ## DIV 330 

RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND

XXXX OHIO STREET

Great Lakes, IL 60088-3401

I used the one without Recruit Training Command.

Hello mrs76peeps, The one that is on the form letter is the correct way to write it out. The first one you listed.

It is fine to post the Ship number, Ship 7.
