mail call
Barracks postal announcement
Mail call is the scheduled time when mail is distributed, especially in military contexts where letters and packages from home are handed out to service members.
The term evokes anticipation and emotional connection: Everyone gathered for mail call, hoping for news from home.
It extends to any organized distribution of mail in institutional settings like prisons or summer camps.
