I’ve always wondered why my mail would take so long to reach me in Camp Pendleton. In the civilian world, I had a 60 lb package send from California and reach the other side of the USA within 2 weeks. However, whenever I’m on a Marine Corps Base, my mail would take several months to reach me.
So I guess that somewhere down the line that the Marine Corps has something to do with my mail being delivered at the speed of bureaucracy.
One of the many reasons that I’m glad that I’m out of the Corps.
Having shit lost in the mail since 1775.
haha, i’d usually have my packages and mail sent to a friend’s address off base. Save the time and BS
That’s exactly what everyone did. Haha
I shit you not, I got a letter a year and a half after it was mailed. Got a letter addressed to the SOI address and I had already finished my first deployment.
