Federal Post Card Application This year, the entire U.S. House of Representatives, a third of the U.S. Senate and 36 state governors will be elected. Do not miss out on your opportunity to take part. Visit FVAP.gov and use the online Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) assistant to help you complete the form, and find more information about the voting process, as well as your state's requirements and deadlines. To be sure you qualify to vote in this year's elections, it is recommend that you complete and submit a new one now. Be sure to update your mailing address, request a ballot and spread the word about upcoming elections. Personal Post Office Box Numbers Coming into effect by April 15, service members will be assigned individual box numbers that will continue to incorporate the nine digit zip code, Zip+4. The new system will expedite address changes, reduce cost to the military postal system, and improve service to military personnel. The change will not effect how you currently receive your mail; if personnel use a personal box or a mail orderly, they will continue with that method. Individuals will be informed of their new address by mail orderlies before Feb. 1. Please note that some service members will be required to change their shipping addresses for subscriptions and regular mail. All questions may be directed to mail orderlies or the post office. New Policy Limiting Purchase of Meat Products A new policy limiting the amount of meat products purchased on any given day has been issued by NSA Naples. The policy states that customers are limited to 8 of any single item and a maximum of 15 meat products per day. Purchases above this amount must be ordered 10 days in advance through DECA customer service 629-4871. Patrons from Gaeta, Rome and other outlying areas are limited to 8 of any single item to a maximum of 25 meat products per day with proof of residency location. This policy is intended to ensure routine availability of all products. CNIC-Directed Facility Service Reductions Beginning in January, CNIC facility reductions will impact installation janitorial and grounds keeping services. These are CNO-approved service level reductions. For NSA Naples, sweeping, mopping and general cleaning of all spaces will be impacted. Deskside waste and recycling pick-up in administrative and operational areas will no longer be performed. This will require personnel to dispose of waste in central collection points. Restroom cleaning frequency will also be reduced. Reimbursable tenants are not impacted at this time. Additional details will be distributed when available through leadership and in future PAO Notes.
