Mail system speeds letters for troops abroad
Carmichael aims to move all mail within 24 hours as planes become available. Aker notes mail leaves the day it arrives and Sgt. Adams leads top mail movement. Fresh fruit and vegetables spoil in transit as they are crushed by rough handling. About one half of one percent of mail is not delivered. Insufficient addresses and troop movements are main causes. Aker and Adams oversee a staff of 17 U.S. personnel and 25 Vietnamese.
