In Many cities service agencies have taken Over be cause the local governments claim they Don t have adequate funds to do the Job.

Column ill Undin nov do Imir Toller in Ciri of adv sir and urm Apo 211, us form � go claims Extension could Cost prepaid car shipment i read he article in the paper which Dcell with car shipping fees. I found it to be very informative but it got me to thinking about a subject that has not been addressed yet this concerns people who have been in voluntarily extended Here in europe1 and elsewhere due to the Gramm Rudisn Defi Cit reducing Law. What if anything can be done for those of us who bought new cars with part of the Purchase Price including having our cars shipped Back to the Stales within one year of he Purchase know this is not the military s problem Bur t do feel thai it is a fail unfair for is who paid that Money to have our cars ship Ped Back As part of the Purchase Price and then to lose it because of circumstances beyond our control. Would it be possible to gel the cars ship Ped Back by the military if you have proof thai you were in fact due to ship a car Back through a prepaid Purchase the cars i m talking about would be can thai have . Specifications but were bought in Europe. This would Only be for those people who got extended beyond their actual rotation Dale. If an answer to this question can be Given would be grateful As i m sure others would be. One Marc thing. 1 think a Case by Cace look at each person being affected by this problem or a set of guidelines for us to follow would help reduce confusion. Staff sgt Jeffery. Thomas Billburg a Germany editor s note we received two replies to this letter. The first is from col. Patrick j. Curot director of transportation Deputy chief of  to . Generally speaking the joint travel regulations Al r which event privately owned vehicle Pov shipping  for department of defense members con Tain no provision to allow non eligible for Elan  vehicles to be shipped at government expense in connection Wilt in voluntary extensions. The regulations Are based on us. Pub Lic Law and Are not vial Crable by toe Mili tary services. The Bottom line Here is usually no Tell Itle pos even when members Are Emolu tartly extended can not be shipped at government expense. There Are some specific exceptions la the women s role in the air Force i m writing this letter to you in reference to a discussion i had Between my supervisors and others in my duty Section. I m in the air Force and my career held or title is aircraft maintenance technician. The ques Tion i asked and no one could answer was this in time of War would the females who have been trained in the aircraft maintenance technician career Field go to War with us also does the air Force count them As part of our Manning Force during peace Lime conditions and then during War Lime conditions if so and in time of War they take them away for safety we will be undermanned in our career Field. Sure 1 believe in equal rights but if we Are going to be undermanned i Don t think they should be put into a High risk career Field and be considered part of our Manning percentage if so Why spend thousands or even Mil Lions of dollars training these people in these career Fields or similar career Fields with the budget die government Baa now it would be wasteful to All of a sudden return thousands of people. Any information would be greatly appreciated. A.1.c doughs j. Ete Meyer Raf Ben Loders England editor s note col Ronald e. Smith director of assignments he Safe pcs personnel replies the Secretary of the air Force establishes policy for utilization of Wor Aea in the service in accordance with tulle 10, United states code Section 8s49. The Basic policy prohibits Assize no women to aircraft whose principal minion involve Aerial combat defined As delivery of munitions or other destructive Materiel against an enemy or Aerial activity Over hostile territory where enemy fire ii sex peeled and where the risk of capture is substantial. The policy Ubo preclude assigning Vomela to duties or units where there b a High probability of exposure to hostile fire and substantial risk of capture. When training or experience to combat aircraft b a prerequisite for twi Wient. Instructor staff position Are no canted to women the Blent of the policy b to permit commander.1 to Best use and resources Dur ing a riot War Hoe scenarios. A further objective b to ensure air Force comp dance with the letter and Blent of the Law not to deny equitable assignment opportunities to women. In Mast instance aircraft maintenance duties Are performed at a location removed from a Forward combat area and where there b a dedicated trained defense Force present. Therefore the exclusion of women from aircraft maintenance specialities is not appropriate. Women in be maintenance career Field Are expected to perform the duties they ire trained for in peacetime or War. Supervise your dog says Reader this is in response to the letter writer who complained about dog owners. I have two dogs and also two kids aged 5 years and 1s months and 1 have something to Cay to both dog owners and parents first to the dog owners. I m sick of kick ing dog poop out of the Way of my Little girl As she walks in front of our apartment building. Post regulations clearly slate that you Are not allowed to let your dog do Bis thing within so fee of a residence. If you Don t know where the approved dog walk areas Are ask your building coordinator. If he does t know built that he find out. Next to to parents. If your child does t know enough nol to pick up a piece of dog poop and ask what s this Mommy he is too Young to be without continual super vision. There will always be stray dogs and irresponsible owners. So pick your Duffus up off that step follow the child around and police his play area. Then find out where the approved dog walk areas Are and make sure your older kids stay out of them. If your kids get covered because they have to wipe out their sleds avoiding toy dogs in an approved area you la get no apologies from me. Lastly to parents dog Owen and the poor childless and pet less couples who have to listen to the bickering. There Are two sides to every problem and it seems that members of a Community could pull together Loso Heit. If you tee someone letting their dog go where it should to Don t gossip. Report the owner or keep your Mouth shut. And if the sign Falls Down in the dog walk area report that too. Deborah .

Your local traffic management office has the details you May want la Check with them to see if you can qualify for government sponsored shipment under one of these Eue Ptons. In any Case 1 would strongly encourage this writer and any others who have a similar problem to Contact the car Deal to and ask for an Extension to the shipping time limit or a full refund to the shipping costs. ". " i certainty agree thai it b unfair to pay in Advance for the shipment of the Carlo the ., and then be denied thai opportune. To because of an Arni tiry Lime it Llalon set by the car dealer. The second reply is from a takes Hanfor the office of the Deputy chief of staff Logi Slisi tin Usa eur the involuntary Extension has affected in Many ways All those people who were heading Back to the Stales after july 1. Unfortunately a contract made Between you and a foreign cur dealer b not a basis allowed by Congress or the joint Trattl regulation for authorizing taxpayer paid shipment of the foreign car to the United Stales. Since the snipping costs were prepaid recommend that Yon visit the car dealer and Tell him of the involuntary Extension and ask for in Extension of the one year contractual agreement or Rem Barlement of be prepayment.
