My hat goes off to you. My wife tried to be a mail carrier, but couldn’t make it past the probation period. In that 3 month period she was not by a dog twice and just barely escaped 3 other times. She came home exhausted almost everyday and she was in excellent shape since she used to run marathons.
Thank you haha. I dont blame your wife at all. There are times where I think about quitting but I'll only leave when I have a job lined up. Being a carrier is a lot rougher than one would think.

I'm grateful for everyone who's continued to uphold the values of one of the last functional public institutions in America.
