Those whose expectations he meets insist momentarily that he is hard working sympathetic and highly efficient. Sailors leaving his window empty handed usually Are of the opinion that from some dark Well of depravity he deliberately has delayed or More probably destroyed that letter from Home. In other words he is the mail clerk. The next time the mail specialist says there Arentt any letters for you even though two other Fellows got mail from Home the same Day just remember these few facts before you take off Fleet Post office clerks All have been mail clerks in civilian life and know their Job. All mail specialists Are bonded before they can undertake their duties to the Navy. A lot of hard work has gone into establishing a Fleet . Mail specialists Are almost As sorry for you As you Are for yourself when you done to get a letter. They will work Long hours to see that you get it As soon As possible. There a a War on.

Each entry should Bear the although in the Navy has vet to travel a single mile by ship. Quot our main trouble Quot said Lieut. Rubino Quot is to keep up with the Fleet. Movements of the Fleet Are jealously guarded secrets yet we have to know enough to see that ships get their mail within a reasonable time. We have to try to outguess them. When a ship puts in to port she May be going to stay or she May be just putting in for fuel and supplies and going right out again. If we guess wrong and change her address to the base she is Only putting into temporarily Shell find All her mail going to another address when she gets Back to her operating port. That a just one of the problems. Quot sometimes a ship gets orders to sail suddenly and we have to Rush the mail bags out to her by boat. Just before the invasion we had mail for a ship lying outboard of the flagship. We did no to have any mail for the flagship but we had to Cross her to reach the other vessel. You can imagine the Razz Berry we got from the boys on the flagship while the Crew on the other vessel cheered us when they saw we were coming to  the first thing a Sailor asks when he gets ashore is Quot Are there any letters for me Quot a construction Bot Tolion unit was by at an african port for a while. A around to the Sickbay in the Back the doctor told me sick Calk dropped sixty per cent after mail began coming  a master locator file is established at a North african base and through this most of the badly addressed letters can be directed to the right Man. In the Early Days in North Africa the army furnished planes and trucks to transport mail by land from one base to another. Sometimes mail bags were placed on freight cars and a Seaman guard went along for five or six Days sleeping on the sacks and living on Quot a Quot rations. Things have improved considerably since then. Army furnished planes 1 the mail clerks like to keep moving with the Fleet Post offices. They run into mail order lies from ships they have known elsewhere and they hear tall stories of what the vessels have seen doing in the meanwhile. They meet merchant Marine captains and armed guardsmen from merchant ships. Privileges of the Leet Post offices Are also extended to merchant ship Crews. Right now the mail specialists Are worrying about the Christmas mail Rush Quot because they understand people Back Home have been told to Post parcels and letters in plenty of time. That will be an additional headache. Lieut. Rubino has this to say a a we try to give service and if there a a hitch just be patient. If mail comes Here at All Well see that you get it. We have nothing to gain by holding it up and our Job is to get it to  he added that his biggest goal is to establish a service with regularity. It is spectacular for a few men to a receive letters posted five Days or a week ago at Home but the Speed of one delivery is forgotten when another letter posted Long before comes in two weeks later. The mail specialists want to see letters arriving at reunited intervals and in order. Quot its the kind of Job you done to vet much credit for when everything is going All right and when things go wrong everybody blames you.
