Page 11 v corps clarifies re enlistment guidelines i would like to bring to the surface a problem wit the army re enlistment program. I am a first term Soldier and t would like to re enlist Hoo at i become eligible. I went to see my battalion re enlistment no to my Surprise i was told that could not re list because i did not have enough qual Ity Points. V Quality Points have something to do with Point awarded for my Grade which iiie-4, my set remit which is 72, and my it score which is 104. I was surprised to find out that i am considered to be a substandard Soldier. After getting nowhere with this individual 1 went potato Art not � prerequisite for re enlistment and no older can nor should be dealer a Eal Bomert Bate solely in or or stauty Polata.

Well i was still not satisfied with that answer to asked to see it in writing. At this Point and after Exten Sive research on my part i have still not seen in i writing in a battalion sop or within a 601-260 army re enlistment program which i must a do not cover Quality Points Al All. I Hope you can help me because 1 have exhausted allow my avenues and it looks As if the . Army will lose what i consider a Good Soldier me. A concerned v corps Soldier editor s note set maj. Shelby a. Metres command retention no he v corp a Puen the Soldier la absolutely Correct in Stu term Quality experience has shown that some Soldier who co Retow on the scale Are not necessarily bad a Dan. And thai some who score High an not necessarily Good it Dolera. Often Millers that score Low can be assisted in rating their scores through farther education training or by being recommended Tor promotion. The writer can be assured Hal All commander in corps Hare been reminded that initial term Quality Points Are not a re enlistment prerequisite. However re la not a Light a privilege that most be diet to tally eligible to it enlist by imposing a bar Tylli Tareal based an Beta that indicate those sol Dlen a Dat Hin potential for furore service. The writer hold immediately reapply for re venust meat to us or her unit commander As always v corps Leaden an dedicated to re enlisting Only those soldiers of ugh moral character personal competence and demonstrated adaptability to the require menu of the professional Millers moral code. No disheartened by sex discrimination As a senior no with Only 10 Yean experience found what command sgt. Maj. Karen Erickson ii died in the article harassment is Only changing very True and very disheartening. Senior cos and officers who deny the female sol Dier school Job and promotion Opportunity on the basis of sex Are destroying the morale cohesiveness and esp Rilde corps of the army. Cos officers and especially Superior who make degrading or sexist comments even in jest to other coi and officers in Confidence or in Public serve Only to continue the spread of prejudiced attitudes. Young cos and officers tend to Model their behaviour after their leaders and discriminatory attitudes Are included. The time when discrimination and harassment complaints can be shuffled under the table u Over. If the Chain of command is unwilling to take responsibility for eliminating All forma of discrimination and prejudicial treatment from the command and protect the Soldier from undue retribution the Soldier has every right and obligation to seek assistance through the Leo to higher command channels. Leadership reliability and competence Are not in Herent in males Only. When we All Start to realize that we All will be belter for it. Sufi sgt junes Miller St Algart slogan on american s jacket criticized on a recent weekend i observed a member of our military Community at a German vol Smarch.
