Navy Postal clerk association; the Navy Postal Clerk rating will soon fade away into naval history. The Navy Postal Clerk Association (NPCA) was founded 18 February 2004, to encourage, promote and maintain comradeship among Navy Postal Clerks--both active duty and retired--and to preserve the history and traditions, the contributions, and the legacy of those who proudly served to "move the mail" and promote morale for sailors and marines at sea and on foreign shore around the world in peace and war.
The NPCA will meet at a reunion at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, 3-7 May 2010. As "old goats" pass away, new blood is needed to carry-on, lest too much be forgotton. Anyone interested in joining the NPCA should visit the NPCA website athttp://npcreunion.dreamhost.com/index.php where there's also more information about the May 2010 meeting/reunion. If you cannot attend this reunion, such get-togethers are normally held every two years rotating around our Country for fair convenience to members. Anyone interested in joining the NPCA and/or attending the up-coming meeting/reunion can also e-mail direct to the NPCA@roadrunner.com.
