FORT BRAGG, N.C - Anthony Perry, a Postal & Official Mail Management Analyst with the U.S. Army Reserve Command G-1 Services & Support Division, conducted a Mission Readiness Exercise training event Sept. 21-26 with an active Army postal unit to prepare them for an upcoming deployment.
Perry, a retired active Army postal specialist and postal inspector, was contacted by the 14th Human Resources Sustainment Center Postal Operation Division (POD), located at Fort Bragg, to help the unit understand their roles and responsibilities when they get to the U.S. Army Central Command theater.
Perry said the Soldiers in the unit needed the training to become Postal Inspectors.
“Many of our U.S. Army Reserve postal specialists have the experience and knowledge to do the job because they deploy regularly or they work for the U.S. Postal Service,” Perry said.
“By contrast, many active Army units don’t do their postal job regularly in garrison so this training was a way to get them ready.”
Perry covered a myriad of postal operations and procedures that included a visit to the Fort Bragg Post Office APO and Training Facility on Macomb Street to observe mail clerks conducting pick-up and delivery.
“They were very receptive to the training we provided,” Perry said. “None of them have received any training since they graduated from the Postal School at Fort Jackson, S.C. The challenge is for me to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful in their job once they deploy.”
