Yes, you're right -- it's military and not technically a postcode (neither is SAN TA1). I'd guess, however, that many people would throw it into the postcode field of a form since it rather 'looks like one' (although one wouldn't expect to encounter too many of these while doing validation).

Yikes, there's also BFPO...
Is that actually a postcode ?
AFAIK it's the acronym for British Forces Posted Overseas and is just part of an address that doesn't have a postcode, as not all addresses need them. For instance Named Freepost addresses don't have them.
