“When my voice cracked, I heard laughter as my voice emulated one not thought of as a man’s voice. From that point forward, I had to defend my manhood and deal with those guys who had seen me at the induction station with my parents in tow.”

This book reflects the thirty-two years the author served as a postal employee and a couple of significant years prior to his postal career. Many points of interest and experiences in his life formed the person he has become, and this book tells how those points in life affected his postal career and ultimately him.
A factor that significantly contributed to this adventurous journey was the time he spent in the military. Beginning with that, this series of short stories will take a close-up look at those experiences, and the stories will also address how those experiences affected his life—and why he went “postal.”
The author, Willie Roy Hargis, worked for the Postal Service for 32 years. He began his postal career as a city letter carrier in 1967. In January 1973, while carrying mail, he enrolled at Tarrant County Junior College, attending night classes. After receiving a promotion in 1975 to Building Services Supervisor, he began working nights and enrolled at Texas Wesleyan College. He graduated from Texas Wesleyan College in December 1978 with a degree in business administration.
Mr. Hargis worked as a City Letter Carrier, a Carrier Technician, a Building Service Supervisor, an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Counselor, a Labor Relations Assistant, an Injury Compensation Supervisor, a Delivery Service Supervisor, a Station Superintendent, a Station Manager, an Ad Hoc EEO Investigator, and a Labor Relations Representative.
In 1988, the Fort Worth office became a district office, and the Labor Relations Representative position was upgraded to Manager. Mr. Hargis remained in that position until his retirement in 1999. In addition to his postal career, Mr. Hargis graduated from Special Warfare School at Fort Bragg, NC, in 1966 and served his country as an Army Special Forces Green Beret Paratrooper.
