Replies daring the Back to school Sale period the Stock of boys fashions was Low Doc in Large part to forecast based on our previous year s requirements. Those fore casts made in january 1987, were jul above 10 percent for boys fashions Ami Casul pants and 25 percent in boys knit designer dress and sport i Horta. The main reason for the Lack of clothing was an it prec dented 46 percent inc tour in Overall sales for this period As compared to the same period last year. Needless to my our forecasts just could t meet the demand. Orders have been increased for boys Levi Lee and Farrah Slacks As Well As boys Basic shirts for the remainder of this year. You should see some improvement Here. There an Many factors involved in forecasting sales for he next year i., value of the Dollar change in customer mix increase in military personnel assigned Etc. We Are certainty looking at All of these factors and on orders for boys fashions for i print sinner 1988 have been increased by nearly 50 percent. We expect a similar increase Fot the Back to school Boring season. In addition programs have been developed with wives clubs to have military Community representatives sit on committees with Exchange management to identify merchandise problem such As yours. We sincerely regret any inconvenience our custom ers May have incurred. Chief1 called a slur to warrant officers hey. Chief or what s up  if you have heard these terms in your military career you May want to Stop and read How one chief warrant officer feels about it hey  the phrase is used freely by officers some uninformed warrant officer cos and Junior enlisted soldiers. Chief is not an authorized term with which to acknowledge chief warrant officers of the United states army. Unknown to Many in the army chief is used to acknowledge enlisted Navy chief Petty officers and air Force chief master sergeants. Of course chief is de fined by Webster s dictionary As head of a body of persons  the phrase hey chief is demeaning to a military officer the Only publication where Chier is Dis cussed is the officer s  there it indicates the term chief May be used in informal conversation when addressing a chief warrant officer the offi cer s guide is not an official publication just As the army times is not an official publication. Additionally Many Young soldiers Are growing up in the army totally unaware of the Correct manner of verbally addressing warrant officers or chief warrant officers which i mister or , As appropriate. In written correspondence All warrant officer Are addressed by their rank e.g., to Smith cw2 Johnson Etc not or. Smith or or. Johnson As is very common throughout the army. There Are Many soldiers of All ranks officers included who believe a to i is a chief warrant officer or through professional indifference address All warrant officers As  Are All commissioned officers leu tenants Are All enlisted soldiers privates 1 think not. So if you encounter a chief warrant officer or War rant officer who does not appreciate being called chief he or she is Only asking for what s due in accordance with current official regulation and policy.
