00:05.660 --> 00:06.890
- I'm Corporal Chance Camacho.

00:06.890 --> 00:10.200
I work at NAVSUP Sigonella
at the Fleet Mail Center.

00:10.200 --> 00:11.530
At the Fleet Mail Center,

00:11.530 --> 00:13.100
our job here is to process mail

00:13.100 --> 00:14.360
and make sure it's taken out

00:14.360 --> 00:16.628
and gets sent mail in a timely manner.

00:16.628 --> 00:19.050
(machine whirring)
(Man Whistling)

00:19.050 --> 00:21.250
So we get a mail coming
in from all locations,

00:21.250 --> 00:25.080
whether be overseas
Europe or the stateside,

00:25.080 --> 00:26.700
anything destined here for Sigonella,

00:26.700 --> 00:28.160
we take care of.

00:28.160 --> 00:31.670
We have services like registered
mail for the commands here,

00:31.670 --> 00:34.375
personal accountable mail for individuals.

00:34.375 --> 00:36.650
(machine whirring)

00:36.650 --> 00:39.810
So with Covid going on, the
mail here has been slow.

00:39.810 --> 00:42.640
Flights have been canceled or delayed.

00:42.640 --> 00:45.470
Typically we get two trucks
from Rome every week.

00:45.470 --> 00:48.380
So Rome will let us know when
they have available truck.

00:48.380 --> 00:50.770
Once the mail builds up and
it can fit in a semi truck,

00:50.770 --> 00:52.030
they'll send a semi truck this way

00:52.030 --> 00:54.335
with all the mail destined for Sigonella.

00:54.335 --> 00:56.460
(machine whirring)

00:56.460 --> 00:59.030
Postal is very important
for morale purposes

00:59.030 --> 01:00.450
of sailors here.

01:00.450 --> 01:02.320
Sailors be homesick and their parents

01:02.320 --> 01:04.440
or family members send them a package.

01:04.440 --> 01:06.890
And it just gives them a chance
to see a little bit of home

01:06.890 --> 01:08.040
while they're overseas.
