European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - May 1, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday may1, 1987 the stars and stripes Page 11 letters professionalism Oft mistaken for cheese Arm Landers this is for the recent writer and All of you who feel As he does about  i have been in he army for a Little Over 14 months now. Came in As an it and in in months have been promoted to specialist four. I was promoted ahead of almost Alt of my Peers. I have heard All of the cheese eater jokes and get accused of it daily. I find that most if not All of the Jokn and comments come from those who Are Hill e 2s and e-3� my Peers whom i have passed in rank. Now t have yet to pour anybody a cup of Coffee or Lake out anyone t trash or even Tell my first sergeant How squared away he is and i Haven t kissed anyone s anything Jim because a Man Falls out for formation with spit shined Bacou and a pressed uniform and bum his butt All Day to Ethi Job done does t mean he eats cheese. Obviously he stands out from the crowd but there s nothing wrong with taking Pride in one s per Sonal appearance. It it these of you who look ratted Alt the Lime who Rale with the necrophilia is amt dog  can1 you see How in Refl Eeli on you that is what is disgust ing what i even More disgust inf it How you Sil around and whine about in. My advice to you is get off your backside and prove to your Leaden thai you deserve the promotions and other Benefit. Otherwise thut up. There t nothing Wane than having to Luten to Kirbo by whine about How he in getting a raw Deal. I and everyone else in Europe hive now Beard your Job Story. I Hope you re not disappointed that it Wun t an officer who wrote a rebuttal to your letter. And you got it front it i not who you know but what you know and perform inc counts. Try it sometime. Site. 4 will Ltd f. T Baacl Offenburg Germany i am not denying the fact that Here Are people in the army Ivhon kiss up to the Boss or Brown  these people detract from the general military atmosphere and give justification for soldiers like this writer to develop an anti cheese Altitude. However i believe that this specialist is gelling the word cheese confused with the word professional ism. A the past i have seen the word cheese used to describe soldiers who Are trying 1o improve themselves by going up for Soldier of the month boards by Shin ing their boots or even showing Basic military Courtesy which is required. The effect Given is that if a Soldier docs these things he is eating cheese or Brown nos  cos Are sometimes pressured into rendering inac curate report for fear of being called a  if he reports someone missing from formation he is eating cheese to the first sergeant. This is not eat ing  this is a specific no responsibility accountability . I sincerely believe that people who use this term so flagrantly have at some Point been out done out prompted or out matched by someone else and Are justifying their defeat by accusing these people of eating  i agree with the writer in thai Brown nosing does go on but i disagree in his terminology. A very Good word for be a atm action at the writer de scribed them it obsequious definition marked by or exhibiting a fawning men Tilenni. If this person would like any other guidance in prof Eudonal military Matten i would be More than Happy to try to educate hint in these endeavours. Sit Jeffrey l. David 7th signal brigade no Academy Mannheim germ in writer talks about army fitness training 1 am concerned that the leadership of the army has taken the myth Long distance running is Good for you too much to heart. The current army philosophy seem to equate running Long distances with fitness and re Multi in immortality. From Persona experience i know hat we have a lot of Tot Dien can run Long distances in running shoes and Trade a is out ire not fit far combat you Are fit for what Yoi train for is a saying frequently heart in the sports world but never in the army. Three years ago i was a platoon sergeant Ai an in Fantry Post in the states. We had frequent battalion runs. Five Miles in 40 minutes was our goal and we could afm Osl make it with no one filling out when a 1 5-mile Road March appeared on the raining schedule i was unconcerned. We had jogged 10 Miles of the course on several occasions and a of my people made a least 22$ on the same it lest that we now use. But it was not to be a Good Day. The first severe blisters showed up at seven Miles. At the 10-mile Mark we Pul on our masks for a mile. One of my Best run ners went Down with heat exhaustion.

A full Rucksack Load bearing equipment be with steel pol dds and breathing through a mask make a big difference. If you Don t train for it you can t do it and 1 Don t care How far you can run. Quite a few of our senior officers and cos run Long distance because they think that it makes them immune to heart attacks. Actually the opposite is probably Sirur. While running you arc several limes More Mikety to have a heart attack than while you arc resting. There is no statistical evidence that running de Civ ases your risk of heart attack or contributes to longevity although there have been studies. Every time someone Dies during or after a Long run a not infrequent event you hear these Marathon cars malt ing excuses. He did t do enough  he had a history of High blood  his father had a bad  the truth is Rua Nir ii no Panacea. Re member Jim finn i am not opposed to running. I even do a Little of it myself. But ii must be recognized that in is no substitute for a fitness program and that in can be very destructive to the Skeleton if overdone. Vake up army.

Dear Ann Landers your answer telling the woman that her dog would adjust to the new baby was not your Best. Dogs have a definite place in the pecking order. If the baby is Here first the dog will accept it. But if the dog is there first it will resent the baby and treat him like an intruder. A few Days before your column appeared a to news reporter told about a dog who was the pet of All the children and seemed to gel along of with the new baby. Bui one Day when the woman turned her Back the dog jumped into the crib and began to rip the baby s face. The bloody baby was rushed to the Hospital and stitched up and is going to be Alt right. The dog was Pul to sleep. Our daughter and her husband had two toy poodles both s years old when their daughter was born. These dogs were pampered and terribly spoiled. They never got a Chance to attack the baby but they snarled at her As Long As they lived. In my opinion parents should gel a new dog after the child is born. They can then be sure that the dog will be lovable and protective rather than a killer. . From Montana dear  my Coni Pllante Tell by thai does Rary in temperament and Peno Nallet Abutai Bemani do.
