Methinks Gunter has something against the Marines. Is he rotten to the Corps???

Zip Codes

martes, I have no idea why the Puzzle Palace would have 6 all for itself (NOT 4). But you are correct in that ZIP codes define postal regions, much the same as postal codes all over. One possible theory is that, like telephone number exchanges, there are too many offices in the Pentagon and too much mail to be handled by one ZIP.

Even though The Pentagon is located in Arlington Virginia, the United States Postal Service requires that "Washington, D.C." be used in conjunction with the six ZIP Codes assigned to it:

Secretary of Defense 20301
Joint Chiefs of Staff 20318
United States Army 20310
United States Air Force 20330
United States Navy 20350
United States Marine Corps 20380

So, you get the bottom cookie and the filling, but not the top half.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

Which ARMY infantry division was manned by Marines and during which war?
