It would probably be Money Well spent if it were True. I wonder if anyone has Ever attempted to compile the actual Coil in lost personnel through frustration disillusion and anger when the members realize All this or ii nothing but Bald raced lies propaganda to keep the Public looking for the Bright Side that never quite Comet. I make reference to the annual reconciliation of Liv ing quarters allowance. Docs anyone on the higher level staff in Europe know or care that those persons who owe the army Money for 1986 reconciliation have already received a Bill from the army or have already had the Money deducted from their monthly pay checks while those whom the army ewes for excess living costs already paid have heard less than nothing it seems the financial managers who program this work ought to realize their exons to get the army s Money before surrendering the individual s is bound to cause resentment. This would be unnecessary if they processed the Rico Neil i Lions in order of Recci i alphabetical order or any other reasonable process other than the me first procedure now in of Loci. The army is not going logo broke if it does not receive these repayments. However Many of those who have through no fault of their own put oui hundreds of dollars More in living expense than they have been paid must delay planned purchases repairs to ear tax payment Etc. We paid in Good Faith and now must wait on an unresponsive Burc Cracy in cough up Money which should have already been paid. If inc responsible officials would plan and perform in a manner to preclude these irritants developing they could save much of the cosmetic propaganda in pens for or ads that gel inc horse laugh Irani the target population every Lime they appear.

As of july 31, about 7,200 2/3 of the annual reconciliations had been proc Essed. Writer seeks More Praise for Pac people for about eight years now i have wanted to write this letter but i just figured that no one would care and that was that. Now i feel this is the time and to speak out in behalf of the pen pushing desk Rockies that the army has that Are called the Pac personnel and administration Center people. So often i hear people say of those people Don t work they just sit around with Coffee cups filled to the brim and read the  Well i would like to say they arc greatly mistaken. Or maybe i should say the statement is a Gross error. I live with a Pac person and let me Tell you that it is a mind boggling Job. This person does not just have his or her Section to work for or company to work for. The entire battalion fails on his shoulders. If the higher Headquarters would like a suspense met and the Pac notifies the company or sections bul these people sit on the paperwork and this paper shuffle docs not meet the suspense Date naturally the commander is irate with the Pac. This commander forgets that there Are others touching the paperwork besides the Pac. Other things come Down on these people that i am now beginning to realize Are not their fault but arc so nicely blamed on them. For instance if a truck does not have brakes the Section will deadline the vehicle until All pans Are in and the vehicle can properly be repaired. If though the vehicle of the Pac . The typewriter or the word processor or the computer is Down it always seems that work must get done no matter what the situation. When is the compassion for the Pac people going to begin do you All forget they Are the ones who get All the reports done for the Ballarion they Are the ones who get your leaves squared away do you realize that they Are the ones who Lake care of your orders ears hers and pay inquiries Send your allotments to finance and handle meal cards ration cards requests for transfers dream sheets and Many other things when arc we the battalion commanders going to realize that inc Pac is the mainstream of the Battal Ion when Are we the company commanders going to realize thai the Pac does work for others besides those people in our company when Are we the enlisted people going to Start to realize the work this Section actually does for us and when arc we officers going to realize thai the people of Pac Are not stupid beyond recognition when Are we the people of this Ballarion going to realize thai the Pac is our Friend and the More these people Are chewed up and beat up the harder it is going to be to gel Good work out of them remember they also have Sot training. They also have it they also have cd. They also have detail and they also have the million other things to do each Day before going Home to the Barracks or to the family. Let s get out of the ignorant Mode and begin to appreciate the fact thai we have people who actually want la do the Job at Pac.
