Depends on how your addresses will be aligned. For a compiler targetted at
386+ processors it wouldn't be uncommon to align everything to dwords or at
least words, unless a #pragma directive specifically forces no alignment
(say on strucs).

Quick terminology:

dword   4 bytes  (you call this a "fullword"?)
word    2 bytes  (and this a "halfword"?)
