Before there was email on ships, I remember soon after the COD landed, anxiously
awaiting hearing: "Now Mail Call, Mail Call" on the ships 1 MC. On one WestPac cruise (73/74), we use to have different
bugle calls (USS Ranger) in lieu of the bos'n pipe and the one for mail call we would sing "I gotta letter, I gotta
letter, youuu... gota post card!!!!"
