team (n) : a cooperative unit.
A team comprises a group of people or animals linked in a common purpose. Teams are esp. appropriate for conducting tasks that are high in complexity &amp; have many interdependent subtasks.
A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members w/ complementary skills &amp; generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize his or her strengths and minimize his/her weaknesses.

How to Best Reach Us:

Stephen &amp; Jennifer Oswald
PSC 809 Box 2062
FPO, AE  09626
USA




(We realise how odd this address looks to most people, but truly this is our address.  &#8221;PSC&#8221; has to do with the Command that Stephen works for; &#8220;FPO&#8221; stands for &#8220;Fleet Post Office&#8221; and is associated with Navy installations/ships; &#8220;AE&#8221; stands for &#8220;Armed Forces: Europe&#8221;.  This is a government-issued USA address, so please do NOT put &#8220;Italy&#8221; as the country you are sending anything to as this would cause either a major delay or for the item to be sent back to you.)

It is just like sending in the United States.  Our address counts as a NY address, so the cost would be the same as sending it to New York state.  It is best to use the USPS, as some companies like UPS, DHL, &amp; FedEx do not ship to post office boxes (ours included).  If you are mailing a package, there is a special size Priority Mail, flat-rate box for FPOs (it is the large flat-rate box).  The price is $2 cheaper when sending to a FPO address (currently it is $12.50 rather than the regular price of $14.50).  The box is free @ your local post office.
