Sincerely yours George  Page 11 letters writer decries Low regard for retirees i am writing to Iii letter to the editor in Hopes of maybe finding a solution to a problem thai crisis Here in Usa eur. The problem exists Between army policy regulations Active duty officers and retired Mili tary personnel. It is absolutely mind boggling and very sad to see individuals desperately living and working Day in and Day out for 20 to 30 years toward becoming the same individuals they selectively shun and ignore through hiring attitudes and policies and dependent education within the sex adds system. I am in t stale of bewilderment when 1 am told that in Lime of War we get called Back to Active duty to work with you because of the experience and skills we pos sess. You can bet your Sweet Little peace time medals we do in fact Posont them and we will be Here to share All that we have Learned with our if this Lime comes fellow soldiers and the Young and inexperienced will appreciate our presence. With our budget being lashed training and equip ment being reduced missiles being destroyed and Al the same Lime preparing ourselves for conventional War we retirees Are what Many Are trying 10 become. Most of us have Medili on our Chest thai represent what you Are All training your troops to be proud trustworthy in Ribeir jobs and Brave. We have Many retired military member living Here in Usa eur. These people Are on orders to report to Active duty in Lime of War. Bui the Iki time you go Lour local civilian personnel office co Check to see where they ire prioritized on the hiring list and How often the supervisors Are sending Back u the United Stales 10 fill a Job position with someone who must be trained receive housing allowances and Cost of travel i am not putting Down civilians sent Here. I am Tilting dollars and cents. Especially when Active duty Are told no Money for pay raises and family member jobs being Cut. The next Lime Yuu to to Sotir do Dos school find out How much you and your family Mem Ber when you retire but Mill pay Luct must pay to educate your child in a Dodds school. If you think became you have Given your life to the army earned medals for your country and have been All you can he that you pet a smaller rate than a civil Ian family working Here in Germany for John dare or any other american civilian firm you Are totally mis taken fi3,500 per child. We be worked All our lives All Over the world. We relearned to live All Over us world but our dedication is with our Golem men that i Why we still want la work with our government in the jobs we wot trained to do with our government. The next time you arc Al the tilling station morale support centers or cafes notes you can had out where Many of Usa eur s retired col and officer Are hired. There an tone smart officers out there who recognize thai the retired person it Ibe one for the opposition because they were bred with Ibe Yalta which Are needed to get the Job done. Officers if a retired military Man seek a position you have open and ii trained for it Lake him. You Benefit and so do your troops. Keep in mind  discriminatory policies and altitudes you make now you Abo will have to live with them when Yon retire. If you think Between the age of 40 to so ii too old to work be careful because Congress does t. They talk about in every year.
