When the Bill arrived James Wyan won dered aloud Why in hell is sprint sending me a Book he had been billed for making 4,931 Calls to at least 45slates, Washington , Japan Canada and Guam. The Calls originated from it cities. Most of the Calls were nude in Anaheim and san Diego. Not a single person who was contacted could re member the Call although Many Calls lasted for 15 and 20 minutes. One woman in Hawaii when asked about a 34-minute Call simply said i Don t like the sound of this and Hung up does or. Wysell have to pay the Bill please let me know. I am worried about him. Concerned in Miami dear Miami step worrying. This is clearly cast of fraud. Or. Wyatt in not responsible for the Bill. Stolen purses and wallets often contain Telephone credit aids.

Sex is like Money. Those who have it Don t talk about it East coast maven dear Marco thanks and i Hope that co worker in  this. Page 11 letters qualifications for enlistment explained i am a  in the army. My wife was also in the  our joint Tours of service we had a child. The service did t say much about it then except to enrol her in he deers program. A year later we decided that my wife should gel out of the service to raise the child since this was at the end of her Lour. She had been in for five years and Wasan e-5. Now our child is older and attends school. My wife decided she wants to proudly serve her country once again. The Only drawback is that prior services Nev Bers married to another service member must give up Lota custody of their child far the first tour of their enlistment. This is 1 feel discrimination against the prior Scricc members. I m sure Many others Are As disturbed about this As we Are. Once we were both in and showed the army we could take care of our child then. But now that she wants to come Back in the service the regulation says sorry you have a child and you Are married Leanoth or  i be called Many people on this Issue and As always they say sorry i Don t make the. Regulations i just enforce and  i question thai if there is a Way to make the regulation maybe we could change the regu lation. I feel the service is not giving us and Many other members a fair shake. Staff sgt Glenn Reid Butzbach Germany editor s note col. James s. Jewel chief enlisted accessions Deslon office of the Deputy chief of staff for personnel department of the army replies the restriction on enlistment of applicants whose spouses arc currently on Active duty and who have de Pendents is derived from the nine policy As that for sole parents. Inasmuch As both Foht ten would be deplorable to locations not necessarily within the same command or geographical location one would then become sol Parent with dependent care responsibility. There is no Way for the army to meet its commit Mentlo the Lauon i defense if it has significant number of non deployable personnel regardless of the reason for the Dod . This has become More significant As the size of the army a been decreased. The army s Mission demands a High state of Readi Ness tint Only on the part of each army unit but in the part of each individual Soldier. The demands if sole parenthood Are to a degree incompatible with military readiness in that in is very difficult for single events to perform their duties in a consistently satisfactory Man Ner. As a result the army s policy is to deny enlistment of Ingle parents As Well As those who would to placed in Lite position As a result of both parents being in the military. This policy provides a Clear Cut Rale to preclude he enlistment of individuals who have parental and Finan Cial responsibilities which would be difficult to meet Irbie a member of the military. Experience a shown that unit readiness is reduced when a unit contains Sou err with dependents for who they must can without the assistance of a responsible add sume. The  in work Ion and unusual Boon  As Well As inc morale factors associated by other soldiers who Percef e sate parents As mining preferential treatment within their units areal of concern to the army. This perception is Detri mental to Wilt morale and Esprit de corps. Men and women Uldera on Active duty who become sole parents through the loss of u spouse divorce or because of other reasons mint continue to perform their assigned duties. The army recognizes thai soldiers Many and establish families and u Long u the Soldier performs us or her duties complies with army Stan Dards and otherwise presents no cause for his or her separation he or she is allowed to remain on Active  policy with regard to involuntary separation of soldiers who As result of parenthood dependent responsibility or being unable to perform prescribed duties. Is proved. The Secretary of the army has authority to establish enlistment policy Consi Lient with appropriate Law. Title 10 United state code Section s05 states Only qualified effective and Aoler bodied persons May been  therefore the Secretary of the army established the qualifications for enlistment through appropriate  army makes every Effort to enlist qualified apply cants in a non discriminating manner consistent with the needs of a fully prepared Force. This policy necessarily restricts the enlistments of certain persons Likely Tobe unable to fulfil heir commitments.
