The article informs that Mail Call has been a cherished moment for Soldiers, past and present, and most Soldiers are familiar with Army postal units. It mentions that Mail delivery is an important sustainment function for the Army and the U.S. Army has conducted mail operations beyond the military itself. It also informs that Army sustainment operations in starting airmail delivery, the Army air delivery of mail during the 1934 Air Mail Scandal and the Postal Strike of 1970.

Entanglement records for seabirds and marine mammals were investigated for the period 2001-2005. The entanglement records were extracted from databases maintained by seven organizations operating along the west coast of the United States of America. Their programmes included beach monitoring surveys, rescue and rehabilitation and regional pinniped censuses. Records of 454 entanglements were documented in live animals and in carcasses for 31 bird species and nine marine mammal species. The most frequently entangled species were Common Murres, Western Gulls and California sea lions. The entanglement materials identified were primarily fishing related. Entanglements were recorded every year suggesting that although the incidence level differs annually, entanglement is a persistent problem. It is recommended that each programme records details in standardized categories to determine entanglement material sources. Numbers of entanglements observed during these surveys are likely to be a conservative view of the actual entanglement rate taking place at sea.
