The following was first started by a poster i saw on he front of a desk in battalion. L added some incidents that i have seen which also contribute to the downgrade of Trust and loyalty Tor leadership in the army. Remember me a in a the a Csoti who goes into the orderly room and patiently Waits while the first sergeant or commander docs everything but pay attention to me. In a the Perrott who goes into the Supply Ropitis and stands quietly by while the Supply sergeant and his assistant finish their Little chitchat. In a the person who works hard in my Section bin a elude Inte hours when necessary never i Yrva Penor Nance coif seling statement yet stands in formation and watches others get promoted and or Given an award for doing their Job. 1.in a the person who does not grumble or complain when told i have to take care of personal business on my time but observes other soldiers in the company who can use duty time and their no s vehicle to take care of personal business. _. V / a a i m the person who watches the favourites a of the company gel out. Of Field problems weigh ins and it tests because they worked in the a a rights place. Yes you might say in a a pretty Good person but do you know what else i am i. Am the person who never intends to re enlist. It amuses me to see you spending Many hours and dollars every year to get Nie Hack in your unit when i was there in the first place. All you had to do to keep me was give me a Little attention and show me a Little Courtesy. A i have talked to several Good soldiers some i whom were born leaders who left the army because some supervisors and leaders allowed favouritism and double standards to be practice in their units. .1 believe every no and officer needs to read this and think about How they train and take care of soldiers our future leaders in the army today.

For the first time in 1 years of having to listen to an Munich i have not been awakened in the morning by my alarm clock and raucous Rock music broken by Only five Mitiu Teslof news at 6 by about 50 minutes of screaming gibberish from sub Cro Magnon disc jockeys.

For the first time in 10 years i feel an Munich is doing what it should have been doing All this time a preparing me to face the Day and the world a Frank Wiswell Munich Germany v v she finds laughter eases the tension As 1 sit at t he end of the longest week of our military ii few i relive some of my most unnerving moments being stationed in a country with potential terrorist threats and three Small children sends horrifying thoughts through my mind. Thinking the worst of everything. Spontaneously remembering certain prayers that should be said daily in Hopes your husband does t come Home with a that but there were some very Good thoughts in be turned into general House rules from that night. One of those rules is laughter my family had not laughed in so. Long. We were watching a funniest Home videos a my husband laughed at every Small clip and our children laughed at their daddy. I in turn laughed at All of them. My husband perked right up and a sense of relaxation came upon us. Laughter needs to be a part of our lives no matter what is going on. It takes More Energy to be depressed than it does to laugh. Though there is nothing funny about this crisis i beg you to read a joke or fell a joke even see a comedy. Better yet have your children Tell a joke. Hearing my children laugh and seeing them smile is a Reward in itself. Seeing my husband laugh for a Brief moment is a Reward laughter will make your face Hurt at first but for a Small moment you can Block reality Long enough to take a breath. Debbie Wojdyla Berlin. A a Ever wonder what scud stands for during the course of the Middle East crisis there has been a whole new list of military acronyms that has been introduced into the military language. Some of the new acronyms that have been used quite frequently have been aaa or triple otherwise known As anti aircraft artillery and slams standoff land attack missiles. Acronyms like these and others have one thing in common they Are used almost exclusively by Only the Allied coalition. Unfortunately there Are very few acronyms used by the opposing iraqi Force. But fortunately due to extensive research. I have been Able to find one such acronym used by the iraqi army \ a a scud a soviet constructed useless device. A pfc. Andy l.
