H has been increased to 24 months. I must say this tour Extension business has me really hoi underneath the Collar. Did the army think i would be overjoyed with this involuntary decision what about the Soldier who s away from his wife and family what about the Soldier who was really looking Forward to a new duty station what about the non command sponsored Soldier who paid out of his own pocket Tor his family to join him in Germany with the impression he was on an 18-Monlh Lour and All of a sudden it s been increased to 24 months Why can t the army ask soldiers to extend voluntarily t understand the air Force has initiated this Type of program and it s working out very Well the question i want answered is this was the sol Dier taken into consideration when this decision was made and if the Well being of the Soldier was taken into consideration Why were the Lour lengths Ever in creased i understand tour extensions were initiated to save Money on permanent change of station pcs moves. I also understand we received a measly 3 percent pay increase to keep Down the Federal deficit. I look at it this Way if the government can t afford to give me it decent pay increase and the army can t keep its prom ise that i la be returning stateside in 18 months because of a shortage of Money then i guess the army can t afford me. Pee. Lance r. Lochman a hindi Germany editor s note maj. Mar Yrazabel. Peron your question is a Good one and one that i m sure Many others have thought about asking. I hone this informant ii helps Yoa More dearly understand a difficult problem facing the army recent pcs policy changes Are an attempt to arrive at a Long term solution to an Ever increasing problem h department of defense wide shortage of pcs dollars. For the past several Yew the army has rec elfed less pcs Money than it requested. Last year we stayed with in the budget by delaying payment of the Bill with a pcs  the amount we a Lent pay last year was simply added to this year1 Mil it became Obr Ioos to the array leaders that we com not continue to delay the Bill rather we needed to find ways to reduce it. The change in the fint Tenn Lour length to Only one of serial Steps taken to reduce the pcs bin by reducing the number of pcs num. Additional me Harej include encouraging voluntary  by redning Lead time for submission of Extension requests and encouraging consecutive Oversea Tours cots Loc Valires neb at the hone leave travel entitlement Are being offered no Only to encourage cots but also to reduce the hard ship of family separation. I can assure you that the decision to lengthen the Flatt term tour to 24 months Wax not made without care Ful consideration of the Impact on soldiers and their families. The concerns and frustration.1 you have expressed Are understood and will remain Foremost in the minds of those tasked la make these difficult decision. Our leaders remain committed to maintaining the Quality of life for the total army family. Telephone bad manners can be irksome i would like to address the Telephone manners of caller s to a private residence. The phone rings. It is answered  the reply from the caller is always who am i taking to my reply is who Are you trying to Contact the caller s reply is always a very Sharp who is this just to keep the peace i Tell the caller i do not give out any information Over the Telephone unless i know who i am talking to. I always get a very rude reply. Usually it i something like this is very uncalled for. What is your name Only there Are usually a few swear words m there. I then just hang up As an american living id Europe a person should be extra careful to me riving your name Over the Tele phone to & stranger is like inviting a stranger into your Home. That you Are calling know by announcing yourself so that person can choose whether or not he she is inter ested. You might Haxe made a few sales Wilh me if you had Telephone manners.
