By Dennis Steele Twas the night before the General Inspection, and Private McQuiddle lay tossing in his bunk, anticipating the inspection. Restless and tangled in the sheets, he was plagued with nightSuddenly the door crashed open, kicked from its hinges. Two shadowy figures entered and spied McQuiddle, now halfway off the bunk and staring wide-eye-d into the darknes. Without words, they grabbed him and dragged him from the room, peeling floor wax with their hobnail boots. Petunias! Geraniums! Mums! "Lets Help Each Other Grow. . . THEY pulled him kicking and twisting down the hall and into the latrine, where he was thrown to the floor. Spotlights came to life and en- gulfed McQuiddle, cowering and blinking in the comer. Finally the figures spoke: "We are the inspectors. Private McQuiddle. And, we have found a gig. . . " 1120 North Main Tooele, Utah 802-769- 6 Admittedly, not many soldiers will endure nightmares or lose much sleep GREENHOUSES INSTALLATION over an upcoming General Inspection, arid the IG wont break down their doors to gripe about water spots on the faucets. But, there are many misconceptions about the inspection. UNTIL a soldier gets his feet on the ground in the military, which Im told is at approximately the mark, the yearly inspections are nothing but bad news. Latrine logic dictates that anything which causes so much extra work cannot be good for the soldier - a thought that is far from the truth. Sure, there are extra hassles time spent buffing floors and getting personal gear ready. AT the same time, though, every facet of the soldiers Army life - financial, personnel, etc. - is getting the same polishing. And thats where the soldier benefits greatly. The whole system, from top to bottom, will be looked at to make sure that its working right. Everything from the duty rosters to pay inquiries, will be checked to make sure its kosher, with an eye to making things ' better for the command and, more importantly, for the individual. Thats 10-ye- mares. 01071 might take all his equipment for incandescent bulbs and have to make a return trip just to pick up the parts he needs. . a situation thats compound-- . edif the John Doe happens to work at Ditto or Baker Lab. . .it wastes gas, time and money Normally, theres someone in every building who's the handyman in his or her spare time, why not identify that person and next time theres a problem necessitating a call to FE have them check out the problem first and call it in so that they can describe it as completely as possible? By working together on this, we can get more out of our limited FE staff and conserve valuable energy as Incomplete descriptions of prob-- , lems are wasting a lot of gasoline here1 on post and everyone who calls in ... xs?r; The other way, the electrician problem. FOR EXAMPLE, "This is John Doe, my light is busted. If you were the electrician getting this request, thats testamount to saying the world is flat. . it doesnt really tell him whats wrong. pos-woi- ds fulfil V . - scents; the switch was OK; the power lines are OK; it must either be bulbs, starters, ballast, or the fixture itself, and he could bring the tools and parts to correct it in one trip. I recently submitted a suggestion to the Energy Awards Committee that, while it was not accepted, did bring out a real problem here at Dugway. Without getting into detail on the suggestion, the problem that arose was that people calling in work orders to Facilities Engineers (FE), are having problems communicating the in volume. An electric guitar shrieked, making my hair stand on end. And then a voice, THE voice, came up from the dark unknown depth of the room downstairs and loudly demanded to know. . Do you wanna boogie? I looked at my dock. Id spent a whole six bucks on that thing, and now it lay in a dozen pieces on the floor, victim of the deadly disco drums. I quickly threw on my robe. Stomping downstairs, I came to the door from which the booming voice asked again. .. Do you wanna boogie? I pounded my fist bn the door, making up swear as I went along. After a few minutes of conti- nuous pounding and kicking and shoving notes under the door, it opened. The velocity of the music that burst out of the room as the door opened almost knocked me down. I steadied myself and glanced inside the room. There Steven Sflven is a staff writer for the Castle, Fort the machine it was bright lights blinkin bass off a st eady Bdvoir, Va.

After a while the soldier finds out about the IG complaint section and may feel they are able to leap tall building and solve any complaint instantly. Neither impression is com- Many people get things in shape to pass the inspection, but let them slide until its time to get ready for the next. A General Inspection is a starting pletely true. The IG has a difficult job. IGs must walk a tightrope of neutrality. They must judge each case, much in the manner of the judiciary system, except their laws are the Army regulations and they impose no sentences. The most important thing about a point for improvement. The system should certainly be right then, just as it should be for the next inspection, --whenever that may be.
