If i m teed off or have a in or feel pressured abused or underappreciated i frown. The fools who keep t phony smile pasted on their kissers it contradictory and confusing signals. Emotions Are valid.

The first thing that came to my mind was that it would be a change of Pace to be in a cavalry regiment. You see am infantry and i was right things got worse. I m 11c and my military occupational specially Calls for training just like any other specially in the army but since i be been Here it seems that tankers and scouts have top priority Over everything we Ever attempt to do. Our Job goes virtually unnoticed by everyone. Now let s see i be trained in guard duty grass cutting jeep driving Tanker target practice scout target practice and have supported every major and minor detail that helps make a Tanker and scout better at his Job. Then when it comes time for us i is to train we get no support at All then Here comes some off the Wall detail we have to support that interrupts All Means of train ing. Why not Call us the detail support platoon that s All we seem to Ever do anyway. Case in Point when it came time for us to prepare for our annual skills qualification test setae were still Given details to do that caused some of our personnel to miss very important classes pertaining to the mos. But when it was time for tankers and scouts to prepare for their test guess what you re right we once again got stuck with support details. How ridiculous can it get Well we have Arteus coming up next. I be been training my people in their jobs and functions for this test for every bit of the last year when Ever we Are not on a detail Mission. Now of All things my Driver has been put on some Border jeep driving Job which just about anyone could do and hell be absent until he leaves on a permanent change of station. Yes it s another Mountain to climb and i m food at climbing mountains but what is this mount Rushmore yeah Rush to get this done so that we can do More i think it s very wrong. I m 11c and around to be one of the very few but these actions Are quickly changing my mind. Talking to other 1 is in my area the conclusion has been drawn that we Are no needed in a cavalry regiment. If this is so hcs will never be effective because we never have time to practice or work in our jobs like we need to. If we Are not needed Here in the cavalry the army might As Well Send us All Back to infantry units where we belong. Then maybe just maybe once again we can Wear our Blue disc and Blue rope that we Haven t been allowed to Wear since our arrival at these units. During our years we be trained very hard to become distinguished with our ropes and disc As infantrymen. We Are 1 is. High Angle fire right now morale is pretty Low Here. Can you guess Why i must Stop writing now i have More details to do. Name withheld Fuma Germany editor s note col Joe g. Dris kill commander he Lith army or regt replies guilty As charged during the april May and june tune Frame our mortar Crews and redeye teams did perform More than their fair share of detail duties. At that time this regiment was involved in two major training events preparation for and the execution of level i tank gunnery and the 19d scouts going through seven weeks of m-3 Bradley transition. We apologize for the heavy Load the Lucs have had to Bear but More importantly we Are thankful for their professional support in accomplishing this vital Mission. The Ullh Jarrod Cav regt is one of the most unique units in the us. Army. This regiment has a Mission 365 Days a year of surveillance and Security of Over 350 Kilometres of the East West German Bor Der. Our soldiers have ibis Abslon 24 hours a Day and most be highly trained and prepared at All times. This regiment has recently Mercone and is still i the Proeh of one of the questions about naturalization what does it take and How Long does it Lake to be an american citizen i entered the United states in september of 1979.1 became a permanent resident i september of 1981. I decided to join the service in july of 1981. Having been in the Navy for three years i went to the immigration and naturalization service office in key West fla., re questing application forms for naturalization. The Secretary told me it takes about a year for one to be naturalized. I filed my petition to become a citizen in june of 1984. A year has passed and Noth ing heard yet. I have written twice to the ins District director in Miami and no reply was Given. I filed my petition under being in the service for at least three years even though am married loan american citizen and have an american born child. I have applied for different government jobs but most of them require citizenship. Even in the military to be an officer you have to be a citizen. Everyone wants to Progress and better themselves. If i joined the military to serve the country i Don t see Why i should not be an american. I think the ins should give consideration to people in the service who request naturalization. Could someone explain How the process goes name withheld so Geneua As sky editor s note verlan l. Beau Champ officer in charge. Immigration and naturalization service american consulate general Frankfurt replies an alien who has been admitted to the United slates for permanent residence May apply for citizenship once the appropriate residence  has been met.

Annie us Mangult sen Miguel Sla. Calallen Negros Ort Neal pomp Piryt Fotsis greatest transitions for a cavalry unit since we moved from the horse to the tank. In the but year and a half this regiment Bias com Pic led transition into the a Abrams tank. We Are now in the process of. Transitioning into the m-3 Bradley fighting vehicle. Changes of this magnitude Are no Small feat for any size unit let alone one such As ours. Considering our primary Mission that of the Border must continue with the same priority while undergoing the train ing necessary to Complete the changeover into these two new primary armoured vehicles. The priority of training in this regi ment As Well As any other unit must shift from time to time based on the current need and that of future requirements. We still however have the responsibility tonsure All our soldiers Are Guy trained in their respective military  specialities. However As of july 1 of i hit year we have completed our annual set testing of the 1ic mos. Of 93 soldiers tested 93 received a go with u Overall avenge of85 percent which is above the department of the army level. Sot scores such As these would indicate that those soldiers with the 1ic mos have received very adequate training. Soldiers in the Blackmone Are detailed like soldiers everywhere and must be pre pared to accept these task legs and details that May detract from what a Ovid be considered Normal skill training.
