Can you believe il7 crossed out in Oakland dear Oak after nearly 32 years in this work i would believe anything on the nip Side of the Coin be thankful we live la country where nobody can Tell of we can t one if we want to. This it what make America gnat. Dear Ann Landers my letter is for the Mother who Felt deprived be cause she bad a cae arean birth instead of the natural Way. She Felt inferior As a woman because she could t Cut it in the labor room. In 1971 1 gave birth to a Beautiful 9-Pound boy As nature intended. I went through 72 hours of glorious labor and at the euphoric moment of birth my baby s heart stopped beating and he had to be pulled out with forceps. I lost a great Deal of blood and was in critical Condi Tion Abr several Days. Four hours were required to re pair my baby s Eye where the forceps caught him. It took me nine years to work up the courage to have another child. When the Lime came 1 was delighted to learn that i would have la have a a Section. My second child and the third afforded me the Opportunity of immediate bonding with my daughters. 1 could t even see my natural baby for a week take my word for it Ann a woman who is Given the Choice should be thrilled to opt for Nursery.

Then arc entirely do nun a sections being performed Onwin who could Hare their babies the natural my. The reasons Are twofold women who want to escape tin discomfort of labor and obstetricians who find it Fra Adaly rewarding. A a Section Bill is a lot higher Lhasa one for lit natural Way Tjit Angara nut syndic in columnist Landers ure Comei your  an Wale to her in Wilh 01 Tim Sura ind strip. Apo 09211, . Fenn involuntary Extension policy explained i would like to address a simple straight Forward question concerning the inability of he army to prac Tice what it preaches to someone in the upper Echelon of the command mow can the army babble on and on Over the an airwaves about the importance of soldiers not getting Over their Heads in debt when at the same Lime the army is doing that precise thing when it comes to these involuntary Extension.? it seems to me that the army is just postponing the inevitable and we the families Are paying the nigh interest rates in terms of personal disappointments and lowered morale so that somewhere on paper the expense of moving our families Back stateside will not appear until the next f Seal year. I understand the air Force promises a return to inc Continental United slates after putting in a three year tour and extensions to those who want them Why can t inc army get on he Ball and offer the same name withheld Mainz Germany editor s note maj. Mark Yrazabal. Personnel staff officer. Office of inc Deputy chief of Staft personnel he Usarek replies Yon Are Correct that the army show practice what it preaches regarding indebtedness. The Amy has a Legal obligation to spend no More than Congress has authorized. For that reason the last two Yean the army has had to delay permanent change of station pcs moves to keep from Over drawing its pcs budget. You ask quite logically How has the army let this happen unlike the individual Soldier the army does nol always know How much it will be  for example the array is authorized a fixed number of soldiers. In an Effort to be fair and equitable to each Soldier while continuing to maintain Overall readiness these soldiers Art periodically rotated Between assign mints. Each year the army requests funds to pay for these moves. However for the but several years die army has received less pcs Money than requested. Last year we delayed moves to keep from overdraw ing the pcs account. However tie amount we did no pay list year was simply added to this year s Bill. This coupled Voth another cat to the badge request resulted in a second pcs freeze. Additionally it became obvious to the army Leaden lbt we could nol continue to delay paying by los rather we needed to find ways to reduce them. Several recent pcs policy changes have been Ini titled to reduce the pcs us by reducing the Amber of pcs moves. These include to Creuling the Coati Aen Tal United state conus tour length to four years increasing the conus on Erm tour length to 24 months and programs encouraging voluntary tour extensions and consecutive Oversea Tours. In Usa eur an aggressive program is underway to promote extensions. In this regard Lead Liares for approval of extensions have been reduced Aad process ing procedures have been streamlined. These have resulted in significant increase in Lour Extension each month for the past live months. Hopefully All of these measures will eliminate further involuntary extensions and permit us to move soldiers and family members u  noted in your Tetter the air Force was faced with similar problem last year tie air Force Aba fan posted an involuntary extent Loa.
