European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 1, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers the other Day while my husband was in the recep Tion Trca of our dentist s office a waiting room shared by several doctors Little boy about 5 years old came Over and took a teat near him. He smiled at my husband and said hello. My husband returned his Greet ing. All of a sudden the boy s Mother who was mated across the room began to shrieked Ward what did i Tell you about speaking to strangers thai Man a i could Kidnap you of the Little boy looked at my husband with terror in his eyes. My husband was embarrassed to death. People began poking heir Heads out of the other offices to see what had happened. When he came Home and recounted the incident i said he should have told the Mother i would t steal your Little boy. I have 15 grandchildren f my my husband will get Over his embarrassing Inci Dent but i m concerned for the child. It s Wise to Cau Tion children to beware of strangers but i fear this child will grow up terrified of anyone who might pass him on the Street or stand near him in a store. When we raised our six children we warned Hern of the dangers of talking to strangers but they never viewed everyone As a pot Nival kidnapper. I m sorry for this Mother too because she must be a nervous wreck. Meanwhile i can envision his youngster a few years up the Road spending lots of time on a Psychia to understand the reason for his Trist s Couch trying paranoia. Concerned grandma dear grandma Yon w Mode stunt Etrat Lleti Points in your letter. Children should be taught that strangers can be danger Ous but for a child to be made to feel unsafe in a waiting room full of people with his Mother seated nearby is ridiculous. It is he stranger who offers a ride or Candy or Lea Cream when he child is alone hat s the Type of person he or she Shoal in taught run from.

She was tied to this Man by More than a thread since it was he who sold the finished cloth and Kepi the Money. With the invention of the spinning wheel a woman could Supply enough Yum for 20 weavers. She was paid for her work and nol forced to marry for economic reasons. In other words being a spinster was her ticket o Freedom.

Household goods go to Texas after All 1 have a few questions concerning shipments of household goods to the Continental United states. Due to the Gramm Rudman Law my husband s tour of duty was extended until december i486. Knowing this was saving Money for the army we accepted it without question. My husband has since received orders to fort Campbell . His expiration of term Tif service is within six months after arriving there. My children and i will be returning to our Home in Texas. When 1 called our transportation office. I was in formed that my household goods had to follow to my husband s new duty station causing me to have to live without my furniture and household goods for the duration of my husband s Lour at fort Campbell. Then the army will have to move our household goods again when my husband s term of service ends. All our household Gools following him to fort Campbell will have to remain in storage White he is there because the children and i won t be there and my husband will be living in the Barracks while he is stationed there. Furthermore transportation informed me that he household goods we have left in storage at fort Dix n.j., would also have o follow my husband to fort Campbell and that we would have to pay the expense to have thai portion of our household goods shipped to our Home in Texas. It would be More beneficial to the government and less hassle for a if everything was shipped directly to Texas.

I feel that the system is unfair especially to someone like myself who has been on the e-6 Lisl for Over two years. 1 would appreciate an answer from you about my situation. Sgt. Debra a Erickson dad kissing in Germany editor s note Sec. Tony l. Coleman Coic promotions Branch 1st personnel command la Usa eur replies the army s system for promotion to grades e-5 and �-6 is based on a floating cutoff score. This system promotes Only those soldiers required to meet current strength needs of the army by mos. A cutoff score of 998 in mos 24e indicates your mos is overs Treitli army wide. However mos 24e is nol being phased out. Voluntary into a shortage mos would greatly improve your promotion potential. Since promotion is based on the needs of the army by mos advancement opportunities Are greater in a shortage mos with fewer Points required for promotion. The Only viable solution for soldiers who elect to consider classification is to pursue those areas when additional Points can be awarded on their a form 33ss promotion Point worksheet.
