VICTORY BASE COMPLEX, Iraq -- Mail for service members correctly addressed with APO, AE, is flown directly to the Joint Military Mail Terminal here. However, mail labeled Baghdad, Iraq, is sent to an Iraqi post office off base and can take months to make it to its intended recipient, if at all.
On April 12, Senior Master Sgt. Douglas Senters, 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron emergency management superintendent, and Senior Airman Sam Kearney, 447th ECES emergency manager, stepped up to help the Army process an incoming mail truck from downtown Baghdad.
The mail truck was inspected for improvised explosive devices by an X-ray machine and military working dogs after it came through the main gate. Senters and Kearney scanned the truck and its contents for chemical and radiological contamination before the mail was distributed.
Senters is originally from Randolph, Ohio, and is deployed from Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio. Kearney is originally from Middletown, N.Y., and deployed from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. Both airmen have been deployed to Sather since January.
