Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 Irons Review: You need to know

Wilson say the C300 Forged is the first to incorporate power hole technology in an 8620 carbon steel iron head. It means you get the same feel as Wilson’s excellent tour level FG Tour V6, but with extra ball speed and additional playability. Five power holes in a double row on the sole increase face flex.

36 Forged Irons Tested – Which Forged Iron Suits Me?

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 Irons Review: We say

Right on the fence between a better player and game improvement iron, the C300 could easily slip into either category. The C300 Forged came about, because golfers loved the look and feel of Wilson’s FG Tour V6 (which Padraig Harrington plays) but felt a bit intimidated by the tiny head size. Wilson’s next step up the ladder were the cast C200s, which were miles away from everything golfers loved about the V6. Simon was the C300s biggest fan, loving how Wilson’s engineers have combined so much tech within a forged head. We’ve tested the C300s twice now, on both occasions it’s not ripped up any trees in terms of ball speed or carry distance, but we still love its marriage of forged head with oodles of tech.

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 Irons Review: Verdict

Compared to other players distance irons, the C300 is the only one that can boast of a full forged head, both the P790 (forged faces only) and AP3 (not forged) can’t. Compared to the Wilson FG Tour V6, C300 was four yards longer through the air, which we reckon makes it attractive to anyone who loved the V6 but hankered after extra ball speed protection and forgiveness. A decent shout for golfers looking for an excellent but sensibly priced crossover (irons that sit between better player and game improvement categories) iron.

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 irons review

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 iron review is loved by Padraig Harrington - and now us. 

We arrived at Bearwood Lakes to hit the Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 irons and were met by a grinning set of PRs.

REVIEW: WILSON STAFF C200 IRON REVIEW

The brand’s headlining player Padraig Harrington had just ended an eight-year baron spell on the European Tour with a win at the Portugal Master s – and what’s more, he’d just put the V6 irons in the bag.

The new sticks are clearly to Harrington’s liking, but how do they suit the average player?

The best looking iron from Wilson Staff – ever. Simple, clean lines, and classy branding on the backside. Gone are the multi-coloured, busy aesthetics we've seen in the past. 

The top line is slightly thinner than previous models, but only marginally, as is the sole. The head is compact, as you would expect from an iron for better players.

Sat behind the ball this wrench is stunning.

Deliciously soft, and powerful. It has an energising, meaty feel from the centre of the bat.

The V6 iron is the first in Wilson Staff’s range of “feel irons”, and it lives up to the moniker.

Billed as a cavity back iron with a muscle back feel, and we’d agree.

These irons are designed for the low handicap players, but there’s a decent amount of forgiveness added in, which may tempt the 10 and overs that strike the ball well. 

Like many other brands, Wilson has moved the CG slightly towards the toe, as this is where most players move towards in their miss hits. In the long irons, a 12 gram weight is added in the sole towards the toe side, while an eight gram weight is added towards the heel, raising the MOI and launch angle.

In the mid irons, a weight is placed in the centre to lower CG, and offer help with the scoring clubs.

Wilson are not the first brand to optimise CG throughout a set – most of their competitors also do this – but they have done so in an effective manor.

It’s one of the more forgiving player irons, and perhaps more impressively also offers heaps of control and consistency.

Struck out of the middle, we were getting consistent yardages, and felt we were able to manipulate the flight, particularly with the shorter irons.

You do have to work a bit harder with the longer irons to manipulate the ball flight, but it is possible. The price you pay for added forgiveness!

The best better player iron from Wilson Staff. Outstanding looks, buttery feel, and a decent dollop of forgiveness.

Lower handicap players will enjoy the control on offer, and workability in the mid to short irons.

At the lower end of the price scale for this type of iron, but still a big chunk of cash nonetheless. Related to performance, Wilson Staff are offering value for money, as they always seem to.

Paddy loves them, and so do we.

At address, the Wilson Staff FG Tour irons offer a fantastic blend of being small enough to feel that you can control flight and shape, while also offering confidence-inspiring size and forgiveness. Best of all however, is the feel. A well-struck shot feels just as silky smooth with these as with any of the more expensive forged options currently on the market.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

The Wilson Staff FG Tour irons have been forged from soft carbon steel to offer a more responsive feel. The wider sole and cavity back lowers the centre of gravity to help improve ball striking. The classic design is based on the famous F17 iron model created by Bob Mandrella.

These irons should suit golfers who prefer the feel of a forged club, want a Tour iron that also offers forgiveness, and like a classic-looking design.

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6 Irons

When I found out that I won the contest that MGS and Wilson threw for the PGA Championship, I was pumped! I quickly realized that I hadn't hit a Wilson club in years, so, I was very curious to go try out their offerings at the PGA Superstore. I was a little skeptical, mostly because I hadn't heard much about their irons. After scoping out a few of their offerings, I narrowed it down to the Forged C300s and the FG Tour V6s. Both were great offerings, and I was seriously considering the Forged C300s but I ultimately went with the F6 Tour V6s because they were closer to the clubs I was currently playing (Callaway Apex Pros w/ Project X PXi shafts).

I was instantly impressed with how the FGs felt. They provided instant feedback on the shots you hit and performed great. They have a smaller profile then some of the other clubs you might come across, but, that is to be expected of an iron in this class. I tried out a few of the stock shaft offerings and found the KBS Tours and the Dynamic Golf AMTs to be the best fit. I ended up going with the Dynamic Golds because they had a slightly higher ball speed, were more consistent, and had a better feel than the KBS Tours. 

I've played a few rounds with the FGs now and I'm really impressed. They are consistent and allow you to flight the ball up, down, left, and right. The AMT shafts are kind of interesting because they are weighted heavier at the bottom of the set (i.e. the Pitching Wedge has a beefier shaft than the 5-iron). I'm still getting used to the progressively weighted shafts and haven't quite nailed down my distances yet, but I'm getting there. Some of the differences I've noticed between these and my Callaway Apex Pros are that the FGs tend to be a few yards shorter but have a higher ball flight with significantly more spin. That difference could easily be attributed to the different shafts, as the PXis are lighter and designed to flight the ball a little bit lower. I would probably have to throw the same shafts into both sets to get a better idea on any differences between the heads. 

So far, I'm a big fan of the FGs and I would highly recommend that you give them a try the next time you are in the market for irons. If you aren't a fan of the FGs and are looking for a little bit more distance, give the Forged C300s a shot, they seemed like a fantastic option too. 

Now for a few pics... Unfortunately, it's been cloudy every time I've taken these clubs out to play. I'll try to snap some better pictures next time the sun is out so that you can really see these shine!

Thanks again to Wilson and MGS for providing this contest and sending me a new set of clubs! I'll add more comments after I get a few more rounds in and get a better feel for the pros and cons.

Good stuff CW. I have the V6 as well. While they aren't my full time gamer set, not a person comes into my office without picking one out of the bag and proceeds to whistle and drool over them.

I need to play them a bit more, they are the best feeling clubs I've hit when struck pure.

Why is it Important?

It is essential to include a cover letter when applying for a post office job.

Here are some of the reasons why it is essential to include this letter in your application.

Pre Considerations for Writing

A few things to think about before writing a cover letter are as follows:

Evaluate whether you are eligible or not

Before writing your letter, you need to go through the job posting to know the job requirements and descriptions . This way, you can know whether you are eligible for the position or not before writing the letter and applying. Also, a proper review of the job descriptions and requirements helps you have a precise angle on how to write the cover letter since you know what your potential employer wants.

Think of the reason to work here

Your letter needs to highlight your interests and passions for the industry. That is why; you need to review and think about the main reason you want to work at that post office. Then, you need to brainstorm and list down how the job will help your career and all that you find unique about the job. In this way, you can prepare an honest and sincere cover letter.

Have complete knowledge of the postal service

How to Write a Cover Letter

With the pre-considerations in mind, you can now write your letter. As a job candidate applying for a job at the post office, here is how you can write this letter before sending it as part of your application to a hiring manager.

These two steps are essential for a powerful letter:

Make an effective cover letter

The first thing you need to do is highlight and outline all the necessary information for a cover letter.

With the following information, you will be able to prepare an effective and powerful letter.

• Provide your information: There are specific details that you must include in your cover letter as a job candidate. This includes your full official name for identification and your contact information for more accessible communication .
• Date: The date when the job candidate prepared the letter must also be included in this letter. It helps in verifying a document as a formal one.
• Recipient’s details: This letter should also include the name, complete address, and contact information of the letter recipient, such as the hiring manager.
• Write about the job you’re applying for: The first paragraph of the letter should be all about why you are applying for the job. The reasons usually entail being a fit candidate due to your skills and experiences.
• Detail your skills, experiences, and education: the next paragraph(s) should focus on details about your skills, experience, and education related to the job. Also, try to highlight how these three essential things make you a suitable candidate. Finally, you should add examples to offer the letter’s recipient a better understanding of your work for a more convincing letter.
• Conclude the letter by thanking : The final part of the letter is a conclusion paragraph that summarizes your experiences, thanks to the hiring manager for the job opportunity and their time, and invites them to contact you for any more information or questions.

Reread the letter

After writing the letter and outlining all the vital information, the next step is to read the letter and edit any mistakes to make it professional. You can ask friends and family to help you in proofreading and editing the letter.

Sample Post Office Cover Letter

Dear Ms. Thompson,

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Mail Carrier position at the Springfield Central Post Office, as advertised on the USPS careers page. With a solid background in customer service and logistics, coupled with my dedication to community service, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the esteemed Springfield postal team.

During my three-year tenure as a Logistics Coordinator with QuickParcel Services, I managed daily delivery operations, ensuring timely and accurate parcel distribution. My role required meticulous attention to detail and the ability to solve logistical challenges efficiently, skills that are directly applicable to the responsibilities of a Mail Carrier. I am particularly proud of implementing a route optimization project that resulted in a 20% improvement in delivery efficiency, a testament to my commitment to operational excellence.

I am interested in the mail carrier job because I want to make a significant contribution to the community. The post office’s role in keeping our society connected, especially in these challenging times, resonates with my personal values. I am drawn to the idea of being a familiar and trustworthy presence in my community, delivering not just mail but also a sense of connection and reliability. My strong physical fitness, proven by my regular participation in marathons, prepares me well for the demands of the role, ensuring I can efficiently navigate the various routes in all weather conditions.

Post Office cover letter example

When you work in the USPS (United States Postal Service), the nation relies on you to deliver many important things—on time and to the right place. No post office professional is aware of the contents of the letters and parcels, but you can be sure that many of them are vital for the recipients. With great power comes great responsibility, so a post office cover letter needs to demonstrate that you have what it takes.

Wherever you work in the post office organization, there are a few common requirements. You need to be incredibly organized and care deeply about every small detail. Courier companies are becoming ever more cost-effective, so the post office needs people who do not allow any mistakes to slip into their daily work. This reliability should shine through in the post office cover letter.

While a resume contains mainly factual details about work experience, education, and skills, a post office cover letter allows the applicant to explore their personality and motivations in greater detail. What keeps you going when the workload is getting on top of you? How do you collaborate with colleagues? How do you solve problems when something goes wrong? The cover letter is an addition to the resume, so take a different approach. If a hiring manager is interested in you, they will read it.

If you do not know where to start, our library of cover letter examples may ease you into the task. Reading lots of other cover letters could spark some imagination. There are many different considerations when writing a cover letter, so don’t be too quick to dive into the details of your specific career story. Think about some of the top-line issues first.

In this writing guide, with corresponding post office cover letter sample, we consider:

• Finding the right format as a backdrop to your accomplishments
• Which aspects of your counselor role to share with a potential employer
• How to write a cover letter if you do not have much counseling experience
• Mistakes to avoid if you want the employer to take you seriously

Take a look at examples of other public service cover letters for inspiration:

Best format for a post office cover letter

Every post office cover letter should be clearly formatted and tightly organized. There is no place for untidiness at work, so your cover letter format should be simple and powerful. Don’t diverge from the norm—make sure that you are aware of the expected standards. The typical structure of a cover letter is as follows:

• The cover letter header
• The greeting/salutation
• The cover letter intro
• The middle paragraphs (body of the letter)
• The ending paragraph of your cover letter (conclusion and call-to-action)

The letter should adopt a consistently professional and compelling tone, but you do not have the space to offer any detail. Err on the side of starting stories rather than finishing them. You will not have the space—that is what the interview is for.

Our comprehensive cover letter guide delves into some of the more detailed considerations such as the visual impact of the design. When you only have one chance to secure that vital interview, everything matters.

Our post office cover letter may offer some inspiration:

Dear Ms. Lee, 

I am reaching out to express my interest in the USPS Teacher role currently open at the United States Postal Service, as seen in the recent posting on the USPS official website. With a background encompassing eight years in educational roles paired with first-hand experience with postal service protocols, I am excited to bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for teaching to your team. 

In my role as an Educational Specialist at ABC Logistics Company, I spearheaded the development and roll out of training modules tailored to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. This responsibility not only sharpened my skill set in creating and delivering effective educational content but also gave me with a detailed understanding of logistics and mail handling procedures, establishing a firm groundwork to educate others on the critical functions of the USPS. 

My Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies from Ohio State University has prepared me to construct learning environments that are both engaging and effective. My studies allowed me to delve deep into learning theories, curriculum development, and inclusive teaching strategies, all of which are vital in fostering a productive learning atmosphere. 

I am particularly proud of a milestone achieved in my last role where I initiated a mentorship program that saw a 25% improvement in team efficiency over eighteen months. I am eager to replicate such success at USPS by leveraging innovative and tested strategies to nurture a highly skilled workforce. 

I eagerly anticipate the possibility of contributing to learning and development in the USPS, where I can utilize my experience to facilitate a deep understanding of the postal system's intricacies. I am excited at the prospect of helping people to develop, further enhancing the efficacy and reach of USPS services. 

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how my background and expertise align with the USPS Teacher position's requirements and expectations. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute positively to your established and respected organization. 

Sincerely, Alex Witherspoon

Cover letter header

The header of a post office cover letter should be as perfectly formed as the address on any letter. One small mistake and it loses the impact on the hiring manager. Opt for a professional design but avoid bright colors that may detract from your career story.

Include your full name, email, and mobile number at the top of the cover letter. They should be repeated from your resume—you never know when a hiring manager may wish to get in touch. 

You do not need to include your full home address—there are potential data protection issues here. Also, the inside address of the employer is no longer required—that will just take up crucial cover letter space. It may be hard to find the address of the hiring manager anyway—they could be based at a regional office, but you may not be sure.

Cover letter greeting 

The greeting of a post office cover letter is not so hard to get right. Start with a formal “Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. Surname.” Avoid using more informal greetings, even if you know the hiring manager. You never know who else may be reading the cover letter.

If you do not know to whom the letter should be addressed, double-check the job description. The name of the hiring manager or HR representative should be there. It may prove difficult to phone such a large organization such as the postal service to find out the name of the right person, so if all else fails opt for a warm “Dear Area Team” where you include the name of the functional area where you will be working. This attention to small details will set you apart as most other candidates will likely write “ To Whom It May Concern .”

Cover letter introduction

The introduction of a post office cover letter should get into the details of the work that you do. Pay particular attention to the job description and share a first career story that is a perfect fit with some of the more challenging work that you will be doing in your future role. Starting in such as way will compel the hiring manager to read on. They won’t read all the cover letters from start to finish, that is for sure. Make sure that they are yours at least twice.

If possible, include a performance metric in the introduction of the cover letter. There is nothing that reassures a hiring manager more than the knowledge that you are keen on measuring your success. The postal service is based on efficiency, so pepper the post office cover letter with impressive numbers and figures.

Cover letter middle part (body)

The middle part of a post office cover letter should get into the intricacies of the role. Try to tell career stories that are out of the ordinary, involving problem-solving and dealing with unexpected issues. Most postal work should flow smoothly, so how you deal with uncommon issues will define your success.

Post office workers have plenty of contact with customers if they work on the delivery side, so their people skills should be prominent in the cover letter. If they work within a sorting office or in other operational functions, their teamwork skills should be top-notch. Share examples of accomplishments that show your ability to hit your targets and deliver the best possible service, no matter what the circumstances.

Look carefully at the job description as you write the middle part of the post office cover letter. There may well be hints as to the nature of your future activity, so incorporate the requirements of the future role into your story. Don’t assume that you know how this particular post office role will work—each manager may have their particular way of doing things.

Your employer may use a candidate database called an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to help them handle the volume of applications.

For a post office role, there will likely be plenty of applicants. While the ATS won’t do the selection, it does sift through the resumes and rank for certain keywords. You do not want to miss out, so make sure that you have included enough industry jargon.

Try not to make the middle part of your post office cover letter too dry. It is a very functional role, so include some personality and motivation for the job where possible. Let your boss get a feel for what it is like to work with you.

How to close a post office cover letter (conclusion and sign-off)

The conclusion of a post office cover letter should end with one last career story. Your future boss needs to understand that the postal service will be safe in your capable hands. Put their mind at ease. Show them just how ready you are to start that new role.

The final sentences of the cover letter should also contain a call to action. Mention that you are keen to find out more about the role during a potential interview. This may prompt them to invite you as they have no way of knowing what other roles you have on the go. It is no bad thing to instill a sense of urgency into proceedings.

Post office cover letter with no experience

If you do not have prior experience in the postal sector, you won’t automatically be excluded from the role. Anyone with operational experience from a range of sectors should have a chance of being hired. It will depend on the type of role that you are applying for—if your transferable skills are a match then you just need to direct your resume and cover letter to match up your career history with the demands of the job.

People are hired because of transferable skills all the time. The key here is to make the link crystal clear—a post office cover letter is the perfect place to connect the dots if your previous experience is not a perfect fit.

Basic mistakes in a post office application letter (and how to avoid them)

Post office workers need to be incredibly accurate in the work that they do. Any mistakes in a cover letter will therefore be judged incredibly harshly. 

Pay special attention to the following:

• Spelling and grammar skills are important, so use an online Grammar checker to polish the writing. Ask a friend to read the letter so that it sounds like you.
• Be specific in terms of the value that you can bring to the role—only talk about the stories that fit what you will be expected to do in the job.
• Don’t be too conversational in your tone—keep it professional.

Key takeaways

• Share your stories about your post office operational expertise.
• Match the post office cover letter with the demands of the job description.
• Allow your personality to shine through—it is important to feel your passion.
• Choose a suitable design with our cover letter templates .

Written by Mark DeGrasso

May 5, 2023.

When applying for a position with the United States Postal Service, it’s essential to submit a well-written cover letter that showcases your skills and experience. A cover letter serves as an introduction to the employer and is an opportunity to highlight your qualifications and explain why you are the best candidate for the job.

Aside from highlighting your qualifications, there are other important elements that employers look for in a USPS cover letter. One such element is your ability to communicate effectively. As a USPS employee, you will be expected to interact with customers and colleagues on a daily basis. Therefore, your cover letter should demonstrate your excellent communication skills.

Another important quality that employers look for is attention to detail. USPS is a large and complex organization, and attention to detail is essential for ensuring that packages and mail are delivered accurately and on time. Your cover letter should demonstrate your ability to pay attention to details and your commitment to accuracy.

It’s also important to demonstrate your flexibility and adaptability. USPS is a dynamic organization, and employees are expected to be able to adapt to changing circumstances and work effectively in a variety of different situations. Your cover letter should demonstrate your ability to be flexible and adaptable, and your willingness to learn and grow as an employee.

Finally, employers look for candidates who are passionate about their work and committed to providing excellent customer service. As a USPS employee, you will be responsible for delivering mail and packages to millions of people across the country. Your cover letter should demonstrate your passion for this work and your commitment to providing exceptional customer service.

By including these elements in your USPS cover letter, you can demonstrate to employers that you are the ideal candidate for the job. So take the time to research the job requirements, highlight your qualifications, and demonstrate your communication skills, attention to detail, flexibility, and passion for the work. With a well-crafted cover letter, you can land your dream job at USPS.

Essential Components of a USPS Cover Letter

When applying for a job at the United States Postal Service (USPS), it’s important to craft a strong cover letter that highlights your qualifications and skills. A well-written cover letter can make all the difference in whether or not you get called in for an interview. Here are some essential components to include in your USPS cover letter:

• Contact Information: At the top of your cover letter, include your full name, address, phone number, and email address. This makes it easy for the employer to get in touch with you if they’re interested in scheduling an interview.
• The Recipient’s Contact Information: It’s important to address your cover letter to a specific person, if possible. Do some research to find out who the hiring manager is for the position you’re applying for, and address your letter to them. If you can’t find a specific name, use a generic salutation like “Dear Hiring Manager.”
• An Opening Paragraph: Your opening paragraph should introduce yourself and explain the purpose of the letter. Let the employer know which position you’re applying for and why you’re interested in working for USPS.
• A Body Paragraph: In the body of your cover letter, highlight your qualifications and skills. Use specific examples to show how your experience relates to the job requirements. Be sure to mention any relevant education or training you’ve received, as well as any certifications or licenses you hold.
• A Closing Paragraph: Your closing paragraph should thank the employer for their time and express your interest in the position. Let them know that you’re available for an interview and that you look forward to the opportunity to discuss your qualifications in more detail.
• A Professional Sign-Off: End your cover letter with a professional sign-off, such as “Sincerely” or “Best regards.” Then, include your full name and contact information again at the bottom of the page.

Remember, a well-written cover letter can set you apart from other applicants and increase your chances of getting hired. Keep each paragraph short and to the point, and use clear and concise language. Good luck!

Common Mistakes To Avoid When Writing a USPS Cover Letter

When applying for a job with the United States Postal Service (USPS), a well-crafted cover letter can make all the difference in setting you apart from other applicants. However, there are several common mistakes that job seekers make when writing their USPS cover letter that can hurt their chances of landing an interview.

Not Tailoring the Cover Letter to the Specific Job

One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make when writing their USPS cover letter is failing to tailor it to the specific job they are applying for. Many people make the mistake of creating a generic cover letter and sending it out to multiple employers, hoping that something will stick. However, this approach rarely works and can actually hurt your chances of getting an interview.

Instead, take the time to carefully read the job description and requirements for the position you are applying for. Then, craft your cover letter to highlight how your skills and experience align with those requirements. This will show the hiring manager that you have taken the time to understand the job and are truly interested in the position.

Being Too Generic in Your Language

Another mistake job seekers make when writing their USPS cover letter is being too generic in their language. It’s important to remember that the cover letter is your chance to stand out from other applicants and showcase your unique skills and experience.

Instead of using generic phrases like “I am a hard worker” or “I am a team player,” provide specific examples of how you have demonstrated these qualities in past jobs or experiences. For example, you could say something like “In my previous role at XYZ Company, I spearheaded a team project that resulted in a 25% increase in sales.”

Making Typos and Other Errors

It may seem obvious, but another common mistake that job seekers make when writing their USPS cover letter is making typos and other errors. This can be a major turnoff for hiring managers, as it suggests that you are not detail-oriented or don’t take the application process seriously.

Before submitting your cover letter, be sure to carefully proofread it for spelling and grammar errors. You may also want to have a friend or family member read it over to catch any mistakes you may have missed.

Not Following Up After Submission

Finally, one mistake that many job seekers make is failing to follow up after submitting their application. While you don’t want to come across as pushy or annoying, sending a brief email or making a phone call to check on the status of your application can show the hiring manager that you are truly interested in the position.

When following up, be polite and professional. Thank the hiring manager for their time and consideration, and ask if there is any additional information you can provide to support your application.

By avoiding these common mistakes and taking the time to craft a thoughtful and tailored cover letter, you can increase your chances of landing an interview with the USPS.

Final Steps On Writing Your USPS Cover Letter

Congratulations on completing your USPS cover letter! Now that you have written it, it is time to take a few final steps before submitting your application. These steps will help you ensure that your cover letter is the best it can be and that you stand out as a strong candidate.

The first step is to carefully proofread your cover letter. This means checking for any spelling or grammar errors, as well as making sure that your sentences are clear and concise. You want your cover letter to be error-free and easy to read, so take the time to go through it line by line.

Next, make sure that you have addressed the cover letter to the appropriate recipient. This may require some research on your part, but it is important to address your cover letter to the person who will be reviewing your application. This shows that you have taken the time to personalize your application and that you are serious about the position.

It is also important to demonstrate enthusiasm and interest in the position. This can be done by highlighting specific aspects of the job that appeal to you, or by discussing how your skills and experience align with the requirements of the position. Employers want to see that you are excited about the opportunity and that you are a good fit for the role.

Finally, consider sending a follow-up email or phone call after submitting your application. This can help you stand out from other candidates and show that you are proactive and interested in the position. Keep your follow-up brief and professional, and be sure to thank the employer for their time and consideration.

By taking these final steps, you can ensure that your USPS cover letter is polished, professional, and effective. Good luck with your application!

Previously I have put my interpersonal and communication skills to use by interning at various food joints like McDonald’s and KFC, where I securely brought food to its destinations and adequately managed the business vehicle. I created a strategic route depending on the workload of deliveries to achieve service obligations, delivering up to 55 food orders in an 8-hour shift and maintaining a 96 percent client satisfaction score. Furthermore, I possess fundamental mechanical skills and problem-solving ability, allowing me to handle any complaints or concerns professionally. I have also obtained a certificate in Customer Service Training which has helped me hone my skills in offering customer satisfaction. I am optimistic that working with the US Postal Service would open a doorway for me to reach out to more people and align my goals of growing as a professional City Carrier. The US Postal Service is known for its outstanding customer service and timely delivery, aligning with my working style. I would like to join your team to add value to the organization and have an enriching experience. Can we discuss over a call how my skills and experience can help the USPS to reach its current goals? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Josh Clive

USPS Mail Processing Clerk No Experience Cover Letter #1

Dear hiring manager,

I’m excited to submit my application for the role of USPS mail processing clerk! We all rely on the Postal Service, and its mission to provide mail delivery services to all Americans is something I truly believe in. I’d love to participate in that mission, and ensure that people all over the country receive the best possible service from the USPS.

People have always told me that I’m a highly organized person. I’ve loved sorting and tidying from a young age, and I’m confident that I could apply those skills in a USPS mailroom. I also love working with machinery. I’m the go-to person in my family for any repairs or maintenance work – during a heatwave last summer, I was able to repair my parents’ AC unit and ensure that my family could keep cool. I thrive on that kind of detail-focused work, and I love it all the more when it gives me an opportunity to support other people. That’s why I think I’d be a great fit for this role: it would allow me to apply and develop my existing skills, while learning new things in an industry I really value.

My dedication and my eye for detail have always set me apart, and I would love to put them to use in the mailroom. I believe I can deliver hard work and great service, as well as the hands-on aptitude the role requires.

Thank you so much for your time! I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best wishes,

Evie Morales

USPS Mail Processing Clerk No Experience Cover Letter #2

I’m pleased to apply for the role of USPS mail processing clerk, which I found advertised on your website. While we all appreciate our mail carriers, I believe that the behind-the-scenes work undertaken by mail processing clerks is just as important, and I would be excited to bring my skills to a role which is often overlooked.

I am an engineering major with a degree from the University of Michigan. My studies have helped me to hone my keen eye for detail, as well as my ability to maintain concentration on routine tasks – both intellectual and physical. I have also maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies, thanks to my high levels of personal organization and my ability to retain new information quickly. Moreover, my degree has introduced me to a wide variety of unfamiliar technical equipment. This has prepared me to work with automated sorting machines, no matter how specialized they may be. I approach every task with an enthusiasm for learning and personal development, and I am confident in my ability to apply that enthusiasm to this role.

The USPS provides an important service to millions of Americans. I would take that responsibility seriously, and approach it with my sharp intellect and my affinity for solving problems.

You will find my resume enclosed with this letter. Thank you for your time and your consideration; I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Darius Mohammed

USPS Mail Processing Clerk No Experience Cover Letter #3

It is my pleasure to submit my application for the role of USPS mail processing clerk. I found this role advertised on social media, and immediately knew it was the perfect fit for my skills and experience. It would be a real privilege to be a part of the USPS, and to assist with the efficient sorting and handling of your customers’ mail.

While I don’t have any prior experience in a mailroom, I do have three years of experience as a delivery driver. While working for New Horizons Logistics, I have come to understand how important it is for all deliveries to be processed effectively. I am a big believer in the importance of customer service, and I have a long track record of making my deliveries in a prompt and well-organized fashion – and, of course, always with a smile. In fact, during my first year in the role I achieved the highest rating in the company for punctuality! That commitment to efficiency is a skill I know I can bring to the table in this role.

Having worked on the front lines of a delivery service, I know that mail carriers rely heavily on the effectiveness of mail processing clerks. I want to take what I have learned as a delivery driver and apply it to a new context, using my experience to inform my growth in the mailroom.

Please find my resume attached. I greatly appreciate your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

With best wishes,

USPS Mail Processing Clerk No Experience Cover Letter #4

Hello! I am proud to submit my application for the role of USPS mail processing clerk, which I found advertised on LinkedIn. I'd be proud to contribute to a service that makes such a difference to people's lives, and I'd love to tell you all about my passion for the post office!

Although I don’t have any past work experience in mail processing, I do have a year’s experience at Greenways, a local grocery store. My work at Greenways has called for two main sets of skills: customer service, and the ability to handle and sort our products on delivery. While I love the customer service aspects of my role, I am particularly proud of my development as a sorter and stacker. During my time in this post, I have honed my expertise in processing the store’s daily deliveries – in fact, my colleagues consider me to be the go-to team member whenever a new delivery arrives. Thanks to my keen eye for organization, I have learned how to log, sort and shelve goods quickly and efficiently. I know these are vital skills for a mail processing clerk, and I believe that I will be able to develop them even further at the USPS.

I take real pride in having acquired these skills with no past work experience. I am excited to make them the basis of my career with the USPS, and apply them every day to support my colleagues and our customers.

My resume is attached. I appreciate your consideration and your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!

You should start your Postal Service cover letter by addressing the hiring manager directly, if possible. If you don't know their name, use a formal salutation like "Dear Hiring Manager". Then, introduce yourself and express your interest in the specific Postal Service position you're applying for. Mention where you found the job posting and why you're interested in the role. For example, you might say, "I am writing to express my interest in the Postal Worker position listed on your website. With my experience in mail handling and customer service, I believe I could make a significant contribution to your team." This approach shows that you've done your research and are genuinely interested in the role.

The best way for Postal Services to end a cover letter is by expressing enthusiasm for the potential opportunity, reiterating the value they can bring to the position, and expressing gratitude for the reader's time and consideration. For example: "I am excited about the possibility of bringing my dedication and strong work ethic to your team. I am confident that my skills and experience make me a strong candidate for this role.

A cover letter for Postal Services should include the following: 1. Contact Information: At the top of the letter, include your full name, address, phone number, and email address. If you're sending the letter via email, this information can be included in your email signature. 2. Salutation: Address the hiring manager directly if you know their name. If not, use a general salutation like "Dear Hiring Manager." 3. Introduction: Start by introducing yourself and stating the position you're applying for. Mention where you found the job posting or how you heard about the position. 4. Relevant Experience: Highlight your relevant work experience. This could include previous roles in postal services, customer service, or any other related field. Be specific about your responsibilities and achievements in these roles. 5. Skills: Discuss the skills that make you a good fit for the job. This could include physical fitness (for carrying mail), attention to detail (for sorting mail), customer service skills (for interacting with customers), and knowledge of postal regulations. 6. Motivation: Explain why you're interested in the job. This could be because you enjoy serving the community, you're interested in postal operations, or you're looking for a stable job with good benefits. 7. Closing: In the closing paragraph, express your interest in an interview and thank the hiring manager for considering your application. 8. Signature: End with a professional closing like "Sincerely" or "Best regards," followed by your full name. Remember, the cover letter should be concise and to the point, ideally no longer than one page. It should also be tailored to each job application, highlighting the most relevant experience and skills for each specific role.

wilson fg tour f5

Looks. From address, the Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 irons have a similar look to a lot of other irons in the industry that fall into the category of a player's iron with a lot of built in forgiveness - or as Wilson refers to it, a "crossover" iron. The length of the head from heel to toe is somewhat compact, the top line is a medium size, and the offset is very minimal.

Today, Wilson is riding a 4-year wave of irons ranging from the solid (the C-11's, C-100's and D-100's) to the sublime (the forged FG Tour series: the 100 blades and the V2 & V4 player's cavity backs). By any measure, since 2012 Wilson Staff's recent offerings - from Super Game Improvement to Player's clubs - have been as good as anybody's. Wilson's market share is sneaking ...

Looks. For all intents and purposes, the Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 hybrid is a simple looking hybrid on the smaller end of the spectrum with a basic glossy black crown. As far as hybrids go, that's exactly what I tend to look for. The compact size frames the ball nicely. When you flip the club over, you will find the black, yellow, and silver ...

LOOKS, ETC. From the top down the F5 is a classic, glossy-black pear shaped driver. It's fairly deep-faced, and the 460CC head has a chemically etched crown. Wilson says the etching saves weight that can be redistributed to help with launch and spin. There's a lot happening on the sole, with the black accented with swatches of FG Tour gold ...

Carry Distance: 153.7 yds. The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 irons will fit the biggest segment of golfers out there. Their feel and looks will appeal to low-handicap golfers while their performance and forgiveness will fit the higher-handicap golfers. Wilson has really stepped up their game in 2016 and these irons should be a great fit for the most ...

Sound & Feel. The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 fairway wood announces impact with a deep "crack.". It isn't very loud, but the low tones are a bit surprising if you're expecting the typical high pitched fairway wood "tink.". Interestingly, for a players club, the sound doesn't change too much from mishits to pure strikes.

The Wilson Staff FG Tour irons have been forged from soft carbon steel to offer a more responsive feel. The wider sole and cavity back lowers the centre of gravity to help improve ball striking. The classic design is based on the famous F17 iron model created by Bob Mandrella. These irons should suit golfers who prefer the feel of a forged club ...

The FG Tour F5 driver will be available in two lofts (9, 10.5 degrees), while the fairway woods (13.5, 15, 17) and hybrids (17, 20, 23 degrees) come in three lofts each. All three metalwoods will ...

Tech: Wilson say the F5 features a tour-preferred head shape and hot Carpenter 455 Maraging steel face to serve as a perfect long range solution for the feel player. Low and forward sole weighting decreases spins whilst maintaining an optimal launch angle for maximum carry distance. Our verdict:

Designed for the Crossover player, the Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 irons are perfectly forged for soft feel while incorporating distance-enhancing technology in the long and mid irons for enhanced playability.

There's a decent sized cavity back so forgiveness and drop off in ball speed and carry distance were very consistent. We really liked the satin finish which gives a different appearance and eliminates glare and we felt pretty confident of hitting a good number of greens with the F5. Loft wise it's 3-4deg weaker (which is a club different ...

Performance wise, the WILSON STAFF FG TOUR F5 is an interesting piece of golf gear, that kind of "chill out" iron, being incredibly easy to hit well, thus a true confidence builder. The ball shoots off like a rocket, with a piercing-strong ball flight, nice distance and tight dispersion. In layman's terms, that translates into consistency ...

Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 irons. Completing the new Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 family are the new F5 irons, which use the same Speed Sole technology debuted in the Wilson Staff D200 irons, created for players who desire a blend of forged feel and pure distance.. This is possible thanks to a thin face-to-sole transition that expands the sweet spot lower in the face for faster ball speeds and longer ...

The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 has a deep face, which should inspire confidence at address. It has an uncluttered aesthetic on the crown, while the sole lets you know there is some cutting-edge ...

The 3-wood is a very good performing 3-wood. With the lower and forward weight on the sole to move the CG they have a very easy launching, but strong flighted 3-wood. Wilson has been killing it in terms of looks recently. The Staff FG Tour F5 lines looks as good as anything. The 3-wood shape is a very traditional kind of pear shaped head.

Club Head Speed: 102.9 mph. Ball Speed: 152.8 mph. Total Distance: 272.6 yds. Carry Distance: 259.2 yds. The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 Driver is by far their best driver to date. It looks great, feels good and has modern technology to keep up with the others. Like all drivers, it is best to get fit, I think the Fubuki shaft might not be ideal for ...

The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 driver is an early contender for the sleeper driver of 2016. Simple, meaningful adjustability, solid forgiveness, and very accurate. Introduction. If the Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 driver had a different name on it, let's say TaylorMade, I think the forums would be ablaze with praise. There would be lines on release ...

The Wilson Staff FG Tour F5 irons offer smooth lines, little off-set, cavity back forgiveness and excellent forged feel as you swing the club. Dubbed "crossover" irons by Wilson, these clubs bridge the gap between players irons and game-improvement irons. At Hurricane Golf, you can shop and save up to 60 percent off retail prices! So, before you hit those perfect shots with your Wilson Staff ...

Wilson Staff has just listed a new prototype driver with the USGA. It's called the FG Tour F5. Here's what we know: The F5 has been in development for a little over a year. Wilson Staff Tour players have been testing the F5 for about 6 months now, providing input on look, sound, feel and performance. At least one Wilson Staff Tour pro ...

On Culture War, Doug Wilson, and the Moscow Mood

“Each of the great world civilizations,” Christopher Dawson wrote in his classic work from the 1940s on  Religion and the Rise of Western Culture , “has been faced with the problem of reconciling the aggressive ethos of the warrior with the moral ideals of a universal religion. But in none of them has the tension been so vital and intense as in medieval Christendom and nowhere have the results been more important for the history of culture.” At the heart of Dawson’s provocative thesis is the insistence that Western European culture was the coming together of two cultures, two social traditions, and two spiritual worlds. The cultural formation of Europe combined “the war society of the barbarian kingdom with its cult of heroism and aggression,” leavened by “the peace society of the Christian Church with its ideals of asceticism and renunciation and its high theological culture.” 

Arguably, the Crusades expressed the best and the worst of this synthesis. There were times when the fusion of warrior-heroism and Christian virtue produced something noble and exemplary during the centuries-long effort to reclaim the Holy Land. And there were times when the fusion failed and produced something ugly and lamentable. But even the failures teach us about the aspirational ideals of Christendom. We cannot understand the rise of Western culture without the religious unity imposed by the Christian Church in the Middle Ages, and likewise, we cannot understand the flourishing of Christendom unless we understand that it grew up out of the soil of warrior kings and barbarian kingdoms.

Dawson’s thesis, though concerned with the rise of Western culture in the Middle Ages, is instructive for our own age. For many of us, it looks as if Western culture has been overrun—whether by Muslim immigration in Europe, critical theory in our universities, sexual degradation in our popular culture, violence in our streets, or plain old anti-Western vitriol in the hearts of many Westerners who have no idea how much more miserable the world would be if their deluded wishes came true. If this is the world we live in—or even something generally headed in this fearful direction—the question we in the Christian West are wrestling with (or should be wrestling with) is what to do now.

The Appeal of the Moscow Mood

Which brings me to the reason you are likely reading this article in the first place, and that is the name “Doug Wilson” in the title. “So, what do you think about Doug Wilson?” is a question I’ve been asked many times during my years in pastoral ministry. I’d say the questioners have been pretty evenly split between “I’m asking because I really like him,” “I’m asking because I hope you don’t like him,” and “I’m asking because I’m not sure what to think.” Even now, I’d rather not be writing this piece because (1) it takes a lot of time, (2) I’m not looking to get into a long, drawn-out debate with Wilson or his followers, and (3) I know a lot of good Christians who have been helped by Wilson and by the people and institutions in his orbit. I’m answering the question now in hopes that I might help those who appreciate some of what Wilson says but also feel like something isn’t quite right.

By any measure, one has to marvel at the literary, digital, and institutional output that has come out of Moscow, Idaho in the past several decades. While some internet cranks are wannabees trying to make a name for themselves by trying to tear down what others have built up, Wilson is to be commended for establishing an ecosystem of schools, churches, media offerings, and publishing ventures. For a scholarly and fair assessment of what Wilson has tried to do in Moscow, I recommend Crawford Gribben’s excellent book  Survival and Resistance in Evangelical America: Christian Reconstruction in the Pacific Northwest  (Oxford University Press, 2021).

Wilson also deserves credit for being unafraid to take unpopular positions. True, he often seems to enjoy stating his unpopular positions in the most unpopular ways (more on that later), but no one is going to accuse Wilson of being a spineless  Evangellyfish . He offers the world and the church an angular, muscular, forthright Christianity in an age of compromise and defection. On top of that, Wilson has a family that loves him and loves Christ.

Moreover, Wilson understands that opposition to Christ—his word, his gospel, and his Lordship—is not to be taken lightly. Many Christians are witnessing the disintegration of our Western world, and the Christian consensus that used to hold sway, and they are thinking to themselves, “This is terrible. I can’t believe this is happening.” To the Christians with these concerns—and I count myself among them—Doug Wilson says, “Yes, it is really bad, and let’s do something about it.”

I’m convinced the appeal of Moscow is visceral more than intellectual. That’s not meant to be a knock on the smart people in Moscow or attracted to Moscow. It is to say, however, that people are not mainly moving to Idaho because they now understand Revelation 20 in a different way, or because they did a deep word study on  ta ethne  in the Great Commission, or even because of a well-thought-out political philosophy of Christian Nationalism. Those things matter to Wilson and his followers, but I believe postmillennialism and Christian Nationalism are lagging indicators, not leading indicators. That is, people come to those particular intellectual convictions because they were first attracted to the cultural aesthetic and the political posture that Wilson so skillfully embodies. In short, people are moving to Moscow—whether literally or spiritually—because of a  mood . It’s a mood that says, “We are not giving up, and we are not giving in. We can do better than negotiate the terms of our surrender. The infidels have taken over our Christian laws, our Christian heritage, and our Christian lands, and we are coming to take them back.”

Where the Mood Misfires

And yet, for all that is understandable and sometimes commendable about the Moscow mood, there are also serious problems. In my criticisms that follow I’m not going to focus on historical or theological disagreements I may have with Wilson. I won’t be touching on Federal Vision, or paedocommunion, or his views on the antebellum South, or his arguments for Christian Nationalism, or his particular brand of postmillennialism. My concerns are not so much with one or two conclusions that Christians may reach if Wilson becomes their intellectual mentor. My bigger concern is with the long-term spiritual effects of admiring and imitating the Moscow mood. For the mood that attracts people to Moscow is too often incompatible with Christian virtue, inconsiderate of other Christians, and ultimately inconsistent with the stated aims of Wilson’s Christendom project. 

Rather than expounding these claims in abstract terms, let’s look at a couple of concrete examples.

Five years ago, Doug Wilson and Canon Press started something they call No Quarter November (NQN). The idea is that during November, in addition to giving away free resources, Wilson and his crew will show no mercy (give no quarter) to their enemies. Each year, in advance of NQN, Wilson puts out a promotional video. They always involve a good deal of fire and more than a little sarcasm. 

The  2023 NQN video  ends with a Clint Eastwood-style closeup of Wilson puffing a massive cigar, strapping on a giant flamethrower, and setting ablaze an assortment of Disney characters and media logos. Here’s what Wilson says in the first half of the video:

Welcome back to No Quarter November. 

For eleven months out of the year, I'm notoriously timid—as cautious and polite as a Southern Baptist raising funds for the ERLC. But the month of November is a time for taking no prisoners and for granting “no quarter.” If you think of my blog as a shotgun, this is the month when I saw off all my typical careful qualifications and blast away with a double-barreled shorty.

Everything we do this month will be focused on one singular goal. We want to help you apocalypse-proof your family. 

But why should you listen to me about such things? Well, when it comes to culture war and culture building, we've been at this for half a century now—much longer than such things have been cool to talk about in the green room at G3. 

Like my parents taught me: a strong family isn't possible without quick, full, and honest confession of sin, without any wussy excuse making. And especially now, it's just as important not to confess and repent of things that aren't really sins, because lying is bad and so is being a wuss.

You really should watch the four-minute video if you haven’t already. Notice several things about the mood.

First, it strikes a tone that is deliberately sarcastic and just a little bit naughty. No one really thinks Wilson is timid and cautious the rest of the year. That’s the sarcasm. The naughty part is that Wilson uses the words “wussy” and “wuss”—adolescent slang for someone weak and effeminate. These are words most Christian parents don’t allow their kids to use, since the terms probably originated as a combination of “wimp” and another word I won’t mention.

Second, the video takes cheap shots at other Christians. Wilson’s sarcastic bite is not first directed toward the wicked, the hardhearted, or the forces of evil in our world. He takes a swipe at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and at the G3 Conference. Both are conservative Baptist groups—groups, we might add, that would be on the same side as Wilson in almost every important cultural battle. It’s fine if Wilson wants to disagree with these groups; they’ve disagreed with him at times. But Wilson doesn’t mention them in the video in order to make a serious argument. He uses them for a punchline. If you like Wilson you are supposed to think “Oh no, he didn’t?! That’s hilarious.” And if you like the ERLC or G3, you are supposed to be triggered, because if Moscow can watch their opponents get triggered, that is also funny. When serious criticism is leveled at Moscow, the response often includes a smattering of mockery and memes. This isn’t Wilson using his famous “serrated edge” to make a prophetic point against a godless culture. This is intentionally making fun of other Christians for a quick chuckle.

Third, the point of NQN is explicitly about culture warring and culture building. Rightly understood, it is good to do both these things. But it is instructive to see that Wilson’s stated aim is to “help you apocalypse-proof your home.” I think it’s safe to say this is what Wilson aims to do not just in November (in an intensified fashion), but during the other eleven months of the year, and in Wilson’s mind preparing for the apocalypse means doing battle against the forces of leftism in our world. Wilson’s public persona is largely about commenting on the culture, pushing back on the culture, lampooning the culture, and getting Christians ready for the coming cultural collapse.

Fourth, the video is squarely focused on Wilson himself. On one level, this is not surprising. Christian institutions and organizations often use their founder, president, or leading voice as the “face” of the ministry. But the focus here is not on Wilson as the conduit of biblical teaching and doctrinal truth, or even as the instrument of helpful cultural analysis. The focus is on Wilson himself—Wilson as rebel, Wilson as gunslinger, Wilson as taboo-breaking cigar smoker, Wilson as the courageous hero we need in a crazy world like ours. No Quarter November is selling a carefully cultivated personality and image—Wilson’s personality and Wilson’s image.

Like most well-produced pieces of entertainment, the NQN video is not trying to make a syllogistic argument. The video excels at putting off a  vibe . And what is that vibe? It’s a vibe that communicates, “Join us if you want to get into a shootout with the culture, join us if you want to poke fun at all the limp-wristed Christians out there, join us if you want to be like Doug Wilson in trolling other people and setting things on fire.” 

Wilson’s approach depends on a fundamentally oppositional framework. The Moscow mood provides a non-stop adversarial stance toward the world and toward other Christians who are deemed (or caricatured to be) too afraid to “tell it like it is.” Moscow cannot become the  American Redoubt  for conservative Christians if it is too similar to other places, with basically the same kinds of churches, schools, and institutions found in hundreds of other cities. Differentiation is key, and this can only be sustained by a mood of antagonism and sharp antithesis. In keeping with the spirit of the age, Wilson shares the rhetorical instinct that has come to dominate our politics and political punditry: a negative partisanship that builds a following by exposing the impurity of the other side, even if sometimes the other “side” shares almost all of your own positions. The strategy is not to link arms with other networks, but to punch hard and punch often, all the while forging an unbreakable loyalty to the one who is perceived as the Outsider-Disruptor. And that means always meme-ing his critics, always tweaking his opponents, and never (that I’ve seen) cultivating a broken-hearted and courageous contrition for the remaining sinfulness in our own hearts (Ps. 51:17).

Setting Things on Fire as the World Burns

We can look at the  2021 NQN video  for a second example. Here’s what Wilson says:

Welcome to No Quarter November. 

My name is Douglas Wilson. I'm glad you decided to join us. Now, some people want to know what is it about November that makes us want to burn things? What's with that?

[Wilson takes a swig from a bottle of liquor] There’s a little libation for those evangelicals who think I ought not to be drinking stuff like that. 

The reason, the reason we're doing this is not that we think that there's a moral obligation that we have to be incendiary, because we don't have a moral obligation to be incendiary. What we're saying is that the world has mysteriously, for some bizarre reason, become flammable. 

So the world is flammable. Everything catches fire these days. All you have to do is say something like “white babies” or something like “men shouldn't have sex with unstable women”—things that would have gone past without comment in a saner time. But we don't live in a sane time. 

We're not incendiary people here at Canon Press. We are ordinary people, normal people in a flammable time. And that explains why things burn in November. . . . If it seems like everything’s gone nuts, if it seems like the world's on fire, just keep doing what you’re supposed to be doing, just stay with whatever your plans were. Keep doing what you ought to be doing. Stay at your post. Ignore the world.

The video is vintage Wilson—excellent production value, savvy, clever, and playful, yet cutting, edgy, and provocative. This video from 2021 has the same vibe as the current video from 2023, so I won’t repeat the same points. But let me make one further observation.

Wilson says that at Canon Press they don’t try to set things on fire. The world is flammable, the video intones, and they are just trying to mind their own business. This is demonstrably not true. In most of the videos, Wilson gleefully and triumphantly sets things on fire. No Quarter November is about everything  except  minding their own business. Why else do we see Wilson conspicuously drinking hard liquor and smoking a cigar? Wilson knows what he’s doing. He’s picking a fight and tweaking other Christians just because he can. He telegraphs this intent with his comment about “a little libation” for those tee-totaling evangelicals.

The supposed point of the 2021 video is that we should ignore the world, tell the truth, and let the world explode if it wants to. But that’s not what the video communicates in effect, nor what NQN, or the focus of Wilson’s whole ministry, is trying to accomplish. No Quarter November does not give us a month of posts on the loveliness of Christ, or the power of prayer, or the finer points of Reformed soteriology, or the wonders of the cross, or the total trustworthiness of the Bible, or the holiness of God, or the glorious intricacies of trinitarian theology. The month is largely about speaking into a host of hot-button cultural issues. Yes, the world is extremely flammable these days. But Wilson also enjoys striking a match. When he makes references to “white babies” or not having sex “with unstable women,” he is not trying to douse the cultural fire around us. He is trying to fan the flames, and usually with a swagger and a self-parading gleefulness. Later he will come back with nuance and qualification once the conflagration—much to his delight—is already out of control. Wilson excels at the  motte and bailey approach : make an outrageous statement that fires up the internet, and then when pressed, retreat to a milder version of the same statement, all without ever giving up the original statement.

Wilson instructs the viewer that “if it seems like the world is on fire, just keep doing what you’re doing.” But that’s not what Wilson’s brand is about. His videos are visually and thematically about setting things on fire. They are about poking people in the eye. I’m all for cultural engagement, even for some culture warring rightly understood. But Wilson’s online persona is not about introducing Reformed creeds and confessions, or about explaining the books of the Bible, or about global mission to the uttermost parts of the earth, or about liturgy, preaching, prayer, and the ordinary means of grace. I’m sure Wilson cares about all those things, but that’s not what No Quarter November and his self-promotional trailers are selling. By and large, it’s not what the other eleven months of videos and tweets and memes and blog posts are selling either. Wilson may be a happy warrior, but it is easier to spot his happiness in the war itself than in the things he claims to be fighting for. We could do with fewer witticisms front and center, and more conspicuous delighting in the sweetness of fellowship with Christ and exulting in the love of God our Savior. And if Wilson and Canon Press believe that their bread and butter really is about all the things I listed a few sentences ago—creeds, confessions, the Bible, missions, the ordinary means of grace—I’d love to see them devote an entire month (hey, why not a whole year) to  just  those things, without any snark, without any sarcasm, and without any trolling of other Christians. 

We must never forget that no matter how important Western civilization may be, we are still sojourners and exiles in the world (1 Pet. 2:11). The most important fight is the fight for faith, not the fight for Christendom. The Christian life must be shaped by the theology of the cross, however much we might prefer an ever-present theology of glory. That means blessing through persecution, strength through weakness, and life through death. “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come” (Heb. 13:14). If we want God to be unashamed to be called our God, our desire must be for a better country, that is, a heavenly one (Heb. 11:16).

The Mood Is the Message

I don’t doubt that many Christians are helped by the resources put out by Wilson and Canon Press. I have many friends who love Wilson’s stuff on the family, the church, and classical Christian education. I often agree with what Wilson says—especially in what he critiques about our present age. I may not agree with what Wilson means by Christendom or Christian Nationalism, but I too would like to see more Christian influence in our land and a return to many of the ideas and ideals that have made Western Civilization truly great. If you are a mature, grounded Christian in a good church, with a good sense of discernment, you can find a number of helpful things from the world of Moscow.

But there’s a difference between snacking on Moscow once you are already full of good Christian discipleship and feasting on Moscow for three square meals a day. I fear that much of the appeal of Moscow is an appeal to what is worldly in us. As we’ve seen, the mood is often irreverent, rebellious, and full of devil-may-care playground taunts. That doesn’t make us better Christians. 

The well-worn critique of the seeker-sensitive movement is apt for the Moscow mood as well:  What you win them with is what you win them to . And with so many of Wilson’s videos and blogs, what he’s winning an audience with is a spirit of derision, cavalier repartee, and the drinking down of liberal tears. Pugnacity and jocularity are not the occasional and unfortunate by-products of the brand; they  are  the brand.

Even more troubling is Wilson’s deliberate decision to use uncouth (at best) and sinful (at worst) language, especially language of a sexual nature. His own denomination has criticized his unnecessarily provocative language, including the use of phrases like “small breasted biddies” and “lumberjack dykes.” At other times he’s used (without the asterisks I’ve inserted) words like d*ck , c*ck , c*nt , a** , b**bs (also here , here , here , and here ), t*ts , b*tch (also here and here ), gaytards , fa**ot, fudgepackers [for male sex], and circle jerks [a term I had to look up, but I wish I hadn’t]. To my knowledge, Wilson has not expressed regret or repentance for this language; to the contrary, he has often defended its use.

Were I to use these words in public (or in private) I would be quickly confronted by my elders and likely brought before my presbytery for questioning. If I persisted, I would probably be deposed as a minister. And rightly so, for such language constitutes filthiness, foolish talk, and crude joking (Eph. 5:4). Which of the Puritans, or Southern Presbyterians for that matter, would have dared to speak this way? What candidate coming forward for ordination could get away with writing in this way? What parent would be thrilled if their daughter’s new boyfriend sprinkled his vocabulary with words like these? If such “prophetic” language is justified for the minister when he is attacking a godless culture, is the language therefore appropriate in the pulpit? According to Wilson’s logic, I don’t see why not. And should we hope to see more pastors employ these terms? Would that be a step toward the saving of Christendom, for Christian ministers to talk more frequently about b**bs and t*ts? In his influential thirteenth-century manual on the training of knights, Ramon Llull insisted that “Courtesy and Chivalry belong together, for baseness and uncouth words are contrary to Chivalry.”

Wilson has frequently compared PCA study committees to a  “stacked. . . blonde in a tight dress”  (also  here  and  here ). Once he wrote that a committee was  “as stacked as Dolly Parton  after  her new implants.”  There is no excuse for this language. To be sure, the prophet Ezekiel could use extreme language in extreme situations to show the ugliness of extreme wickedness. Likening a study committee of a confessionally Reformed denomination to Dolly Parton’s anatomy is none of these things. It’s juvenile, sensuous, and entirely without biblical warrant. This isn’t using graphic language to highlight the horror of sin; it’s a bawdy way to make fun of a group of orthodox churchmen with whom Wilson disagrees. Wilson likes to emphasize that if Christ is Lord, he must be Lord of all. Yes and Amen. But “all” means our hearts, our minds,  and  our typing fingers.

So much of what Wilson produces online strikes me as showmanship. It’s like that famous quip from James Denney that is impossible to make ourselves look clever while also proclaiming that Christ is mighty to save. If Rick Warren did videos like NQN—granted, they would have a much different vibe—the same people that love Wilson’s gimmicks would almost certainly lampoon a hyped-up, dressed-up Rick Warren close-up as self-serving cringe. At the time of this writing, you can purchase from Canon Press a limited edition No Quarter November flag for $59.99 and an NQN Special Reserve Edition Flamethrower for $1,943.

Like Doug Wilson, I love P.G. Wodehouse. His witty use of the English language is without equal. Wodehouse wrote like a trapeze artist engaged in verbal flips and death-defying metaphors—and somehow, he always stuck the landing. I can see how Wilson takes his cues from Wodehouse. Except that with Wodehouse, there was nothing at stake. He was a humorist first and foremost. The point was to dazzle with his words, while poking gentle fun at aristocratic England. But Wilson wants us to believe that the stakes could not be higher. The barbarians have breached the castle wall. The Western world is crumbling. We are engaged in a war. The apocalypse is drawing nigh. 

At the same time, Wilson’s online persona is almost always Wodehousian fun and games. So, in one video, where New Saint Andrews (Wilson’s college) tries to make an important point about the wickedness of contemporary culture, the narrator interjects with a mocking, “Hey, Wokey McWokeface.” It’s not being the “tone police” to say that this kind of insult is silly, unnecessary, and ultimately undermines the seriousness of the issue they are trying to address. Which is it—are we in the trenches against the enemy, or hosting our own late night talk show? Ironically, for all that Wilson says and writes about manhood, his online tone is often juvenile. Petty insults and childish putdowns do not display the  manly virtue of magnanimity —the loftiness of spirit that enables one to bear trouble calmly, to disdain meanness, and to display a noble generosity. 

A More Excellent Way

I’m a fan of good satire. John Witherspoon used it to great effect against eighteenth-century Moderates in the Church of Scotland. Sarcasm can be a holy weapon in the Lord’s army (see Elijah on Mount Carmel). But sarcasm and satire by the minister are best used sparingly and against those whose hearts are set against the truth. But Wilson makes fun of those who could be allies and loves to troll people who disagree with him. It’s as if all the world is a meme war to be won, and no publicity is bad publicity so long as people are paying attention to Wilson and Canon Press. I suppose I’ve taken the bait by writing this essay.

One of the sad realities is that Wilson  could  set a different mood—still full of Chestertonian mirth, but focused on better things and in a better way. After Rachel Held Evans—the progressive Christian writer and scathing critic of Wilson—sadly passed away at only 37 years old, Wilson wrote a  moving article  full of sympathy and grace. He showed genuine pastoral sensitivity, without giving away an inch of theological ground.

Wilson knows how to strike that tone—wise, gracious, resolute, and (dare I say) winsome. One can only conclude that he prefers to write in a different way. Wilson could keep all the good stuff on classical Christian education, all the helpful material on family formation, all the countercultural advice on being old school men and women. He could explain the Bible. He could highlight heroes from church history. He could blog about the Great Books. He could work to maximize what he shares in common with other conservative Christian leaders and networks. Christians could be drawn to Wilson because he shows them more of Christ rather than more of Christendom. That’s one viable approach.

But he would have to dial back—way back—the sarcasm. He would have to decrease so that Christ can increase. He would have to press pause on the perpetual pot-stirring. He would have to cultivate a depth of intellectual exploration that is more lasting, and ultimately more helpful, than a surface-level spray into the controversy  du jour . He would have to refrain from keeping his pointer finger permanently extended in search of eyes to poke. He could try to be an evangelical statesman or lean into his role as a seasoned mentor to younger Christians—especially men who don’t need permission to be brawlers, as much as they need a godly role model to emulate and a spiritual father to correct their youthful excesses. He could use the eighth decade of his life to devote his considerable writing talents to persuading unbelievers to consider Christianity, to passing on the Reformed faith, and to offering a deep, penetrating cultural analysis. I believe he could do all this if he wanted to.

Or he can pepper his writing with naughty words, play with blowtorches, and make fun of Southern Baptists. That’s the other option. It will be hard to take both approaches at the same time.
