concerning your generally excellent and informative daily Magazine feature concerning the stray animal prob Lem throughout having lived in for Over a i must disagree with some of the statements attributed to a member of the More on promotion work Sheet i am writing in reference to the new pro motion Point work Sheet that went into effect May the specific portion of the work Sheet in mind is the civilian this portion of the work Sheet awards a High school dropout 10 Points if he or she showed Initia Tive to receive a High school diploma or ged while on Active on the other the individual who showed the initiative prior to joining the the individual whom recruiters were looking for to join the the High school receives Zero for his Initia talk about equal Opportunity i also read in the letters to the editor that if the High school graduate completed a College course he would be awarded 10 is this True if so it sure Hast been passed Down from the major commands to the local regional personnel centers because people Are not being awarded the Chenault Germany editors note major Phil enlisted promotions Sec army military personnel Cen replies this letter has brought up a Point of interest that is shared by a number of his contemporaries on the recommended lists for promotion to in the army this reply will better explain both the procedure and the intent behind the awarding of 10 Points for Edu cation on the a form 3355 promotion Point worksheet part 5c civilian Educa Tion for education award 10 additional promotion Points to any serv ice member who completes one of the Fol lowing actions while on Active duty obtains a High school completes any accredited Post secondary course or test improves it score note if recommended for promotion to the above action must have been completed while the Soldier was an you will note the words for education this is a telling Factor to get the 10 if the Soldier has accomplished one of those three items while on Active will be awarded the additional 10 Points in the area of civilian in this the individual appears to be somewhat sarcastically attacking the system with a question about equal oppor the army wants the Best people it can but More important than the amount of schooling a person has prior to entering the service is the Effort that individual makes to improve after coming on Active the additional Points Are not limited to High school someone with a High school diploma who has entered on Active duty can get the same 10 Points for competing a College course or a Dantes educational improvement Means just educational improvement this word is not passed Down from the major commands to the local regional personnel centers pcs because this is a department of the army policy and it is printed directly in the promotion Point work any other questions the Soldier May have pertaining to this form should be routed through the unit Punco to the local military personnel office or local regional personnel pen
