The Mail in T2K

[Raellus]

I'm taking in all of your suggestions, guys. One day, I hope to put together an article on the U.S. military's mail delivery efforts after the TDM incorporating some of your feedback.

For the purposes of my campaign, I'll probably set the story in the seminal phases of the mail delivery system. I'm thinking about using OMEGA as the starting point. Fearing massive desertions once the boats arrive home (in my T2KU, the ensuing discharge of returning personnel is much smaller), MILGOV attempts to get the mail up and running- or at least, expanding any already-established mail systems- so that returning G.I.s will have letters waiting for them and won't have to worry after loved ones. In my mind, this concern would be the leading cause of desertion for folks arriving back home after years spent overseas with no word from their families. Setting the story during the opening phases of this hurried mail delivery/collection program will give me an excuse for the system to be a little bit clunky and experimental and also to send the PCs into/through unsecured areas on their way to collect the mail.
