I'm sitting at home writng a few letters for guys in one of my outfits for this summer and I had a thought. "How did Mail actually get shipped and distributed?" At most events, the 1st Sgt. magically appears with a handful of mail for "Mail call." Ok, does anyone know the true story. Did the military transit it's own mail? What was the route for a letter to get from a private out to home (say Michigan in my case)? Did he give it to his 1st Sergeant, or who? To whom did they turn it over to? Who would a Regimental Staff officer give it to?
It's an area that I know very little about and haven't seen noted in anything that I read.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Will
