Hello, how long does it usually take for mail to arrive to the soldiers? I keep receiving letters from my soldier but he keeps mentioning howhe hasnt getting any letter from me and Ive sent about 4 already. I want my soldier to know and feel the support via the letters, not to think Im not writing him. He says in one of the letters that someone with part of his last name (he has 2 last names) keeps getting called for letters and he's even stopped raising his hand when theh say the name because he doesnt think they are for him. Please help, thank you.

Hello,
As stated in the FSG:
Fort Jackson is a large military installation and it takes time to get mail to your Soldier. It is a five step process for roughly 13,000 pieces of daily mail; arrival at the Fort Jackson post office, to our brigade, to each of the five battalions, and then to one of six companies in our battalion, and then sorted one more time to each of the four platoons. This entire process could take 3-5 days after it arrives in Columbia, South Carolina! Not to mention the last 4 steps are all HAND sorted. Mail may take as long as 2 weeks (10 business days) to get to your soldier. Do not let this discourage you, your soldiers are explained of this process as well.
Hope that helps!
Kayla
