Comments on: “Now Hear This — Mail Call, Mail Call…” http://steeljawscribe.com/2009/12/21/now-hear-this-mail-call-mail-call Looking for clues at the scene of the crime Mon, 14 May 2012 13:46:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Glenn Cassel AMH1(AW) USN Retired http://steeljawscribe.com/2009/12/21/now-hear-this-mail-call-mail-call/comment-page-1#comment-4716 Glenn Cassel AMH1(AW) USN Retired Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:10:53 +0000 http://steeljawscribe.com/?p=4121#comment-4716 The first time was with a C-1A aboard Independence long ago. We also got it occasionally on vertreps. That was a major delivery method on the last trips I made to the IO on Kitty Hawk. Once on Ranger, we watched the sling leave the Frog and hit the drink. Three days later, one of my shipmates in the Aviation Hydraulic Shop got a water stained letter from his girlfriend! Broken and smashed cookies, the rolls of Copenhagen and Skoal on the hostage cruise on Ranger. The letters and cards from people we didn't even know who gave us their prayers and love. And now such things are seen through the mists of memories from a long time ago. The first time was with a C-1A aboard Independence long ago. We also got it occasionally on vertreps.
