European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 21, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers this is a letter that All parents should read and learn from. I spent a lot of time on it Ann. I Hope you print it. Dear mom and dad sorry does t help. I know you were offered a Nice promotion dad but moving a teen Ager in the Middle of High school is the worst thing you can do especially if he or she is editor of the school paper Captain of a sport steam or just enjoying High school. I know How it feels because i am that miserable child. I hated leaving my Boyfriend and All the pals i d had since first Grade. I m in my Junior year and should be thinking about the prom and sat scores. Instead i m crying my eyes out. This new school is awful. The kids Are creeps. They treat an outsider like a Leper. I am miserable in this Rotten place. I hate you. Mom and dad for doing this to me. I will never forgive you As Long As i live. Boston heartache dear a lighten up girl. Your parents did t move to punish you. They also left dear friends and now must set Down roots in a new Community. Part of getting along in life is learning to make the Best of whatever happens. The kids at school Are Proba Bly reacting to your negative attitude. You went there expecting to Hale it so of course you do. The vibes you give off say i Don t like you. This school in t As Good As the one i came  talk to the school Counselor about your anger to your parents. Ask How to make things better. You need to make Iso degree turn. If you work at it this year and the next could be the greatest. Go for in. Dear Ann Landers my father came from a family of four boys. His two older Brothers had daughters. The third brother Uncle Harry never married. Then came my dad. My parents eagerly awaited the arrival of their first born hoping for a son. Instead i was born. My Mother admitted that she was disappointed. Two years later my brother Dave came along and Mother was euphoric. Uncle Harry wrote All Over his scrapbook inv in Fivi or a letters correspondence course changes detailed first i was disappointed yesterday to learn that the army correspondence course program acc has been pared Down once again. In the past five year.1 Many courses have either been trimmed or eliminated altogether. Response time has also increased making it difficult for the enrollee to receive study materials. The newest change in policy states that an individual May now Only enrol in one course although multiple sub course enrolments Are still permitted. The acc has always been extremely popular with service members especially those who Are stationed at Remote Sites. There also seems to be a direct Correla Tion Between enrolment in the acc and Success on promotion boards and skill qualification test set. And no one can deny the Benefit of the promotion Points received for satisfactory completion. So since this program is so popular with the enlisted Soldier provides the service member who May be bored or lonely with something beneficial to occupy time and directly leads to improved mos performance Why has it continually been Cut Back if the program is either too expensive or too unwieldy to run perhaps some changes need to be made in the Way the program is administered. A committee perhaps could be asked to propose a system to assist the acc. The newest change will certainly not streamline the program. Enrollees will now simply in Roll in All of the sub courses of various courses causing More paperwork and More backlog. We need som positive solutions but certainly the curtailment or elimination of a popular training tool can not be the answer. Nancy Ozturk com Kli Turkey boy i 30 years throughout childhood Uncle Harry treated Dave and me equally but when he talked about his will which he did often he would say everything will go to Dave because he s a boy after i married my father in Law wanted male heirs but he got Only Beautiful granddaughters. I was pestered by family members about when 1 was going to try for a boy. I d like to ask those numbskull How Many times i should try for a boy four five eight eleven will you help raise and support them i have some advice for those clods your comments Are Boorish. If you must say something say it to me and not in front of my kids. They Are precious gifts from cod and i would not Trade any one of my girls for a male child. Children Are children no matter what the sex. If you Don t believe me ask a childless couple who would give anything in the world for a boy or a girl. Had enough in Tulsa dear Tulsa i with i had Dollar for every husband who shot off his month about wanting a boy and then went bananas Over the daughter he got it happens All the time so Wise up fellas. Editor s note or. William r. Lens Edua Don services specialist office of the Deputy chief of staff operation division he Usa eur army continuing education system replies the army continuing education system aces Welcome the Opportunity to discuss recent changes made in the army correspondence coarse program acc. Although not the proponent for this program aces serves As a primary delivery vehicle Tor acc through its network of army learning centers in Usa Reuh. As the author describes recent changes to a pamphlet 351-20 army correspondence Coon program Catalon limits enrolment in this program to no More than one coarse and individual sub courses it the same Lime. The army Institute for professional development reviewed More than 80,000 coarse enrolments and Dis covered that some soldiers were enrolled in As Many As 26 separate courses. Many soldiers Wen enrolled in five or six courses. Success rates Wen dismal and distribution channels became overburdened. The new procedure while allowing for Only one coarse enrolment does provide the Opportunity for Man efficient enrolment in sub courses. Chapter 6 of a Pam 3s1-20 now groups  by subject which makes ii much simpler for a Soldier to pick outs courses related to his or her prime area of interest. The aim is to help soldiers improve Job plated skills and pursue self education. Contrary to the opinion expressed by the author the army Institute for professional development believe that the ability of the Soldier to take correspondence courses has not diminished but has been improved wit the streamlining of service. Turnaround time is now expected to be 10 to 12 Days from receipt of application rather than four to six weeks.
