our sailor is newly assigned to the Ashland, home ported at Sasebo, Japan. We are wondering how often they get mail while at sea on deployment, and how long it usually takes.

Mail presents a huge logistical challenge....on a carrier there can be more than 40,000 pounds of mail in a delivery....going to depend on a lot of factors and where they are at the time. Generally they'll get mail every couple of weeks at the latest...sometimes more often. Generally has taken 2-3 weeks from the US
