There is nothing more important to a deployed Sailor or Marine than receiving a care package or letter from a loved one back home. During our WESTP AC deployment, the Postal Clerks on board ESSEX kept morale high by process- ing over 300,000 pounds of letters and bulk mail. The Disbursing Clerks manage a crew payroll of over $2,000,000 a month, with cash disbursements exceed- ing $300,000. Mail and pay are often taken for granted until there is a problem; however, ESSEX ' DKs and PCs are professionals who tackle any problem with effi- ciency and accuracv.
