They then visit the community mail room and place the QR code before the automated scanner. The machine then directs them to the mailbox to retrieve their package.<\/p>\n<p>Angela Lane, deputy garrison manager for Hohenfels, was there to cut the ribbon alongside members of the Postal Service Center and members of the Directorate of Public Works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving these lockers is a huge impact on the quality of life for our Soldiers, civilians and Family members,\u201d she said. \u201cIf everyone is like me, when we have received the email that we have a package \u2013 and it is after hours \u2013 we can\u2019t wait to get to the CMR to pick up our package. With these lockers, you don\u2019t have to wait. Also, our shift workers can now get their packages after normal duty hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lane also thanked the DPW for their work installing the lockers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a really great opportunity to show all of our traits we have within our organization,\u201d said Tobias Wassermann, acting chief of Operations and Maintenance for the DPW. \u201cIt was great to see how all the different shops and even the single workmen work together and try to fix upcoming issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carpenters, mechanics, painters and electricians worked together to complete the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are always unplanned issues or things popping up,\u201d Wassermann said. \u201cThey have solved them on their own because they are all tradesmen who have the background on site to fix the problem in a short and exact way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larry Morris, the postmaster for Hohenfels and Garmisch, also thanked the team at DPW for their work. He also thanked the postal leadership with Installation Management Command \u2013 Europe for ensuring they had sufficient locker capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a long-awaited asset for the community,\u201d Morris said. \u201cThey don\u2019t have to make the opening hours, they can go on the weekends, they can pick up at their convenience<\/p>\n<p>Morris added that, since people would not have to wait for service hours, the rush, which had typically happened because of the simultaneous arrival of the mail truck and customers, would become a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the new lockers or to sign up, visit the Customer Mail Room.
