Im talking about the moving vans that seem to appear on every street predominantly in the summer. Many old friends and colleagues leave and new faces with fresh ideas take their place to add .their distinct talents to our little comer of the Army. AMONG the many who have left or are preparing to leave Dugway for parts unknown are people like Col. and Ann Griffin, LTC and Jane Smith, SFC and Mrs.Athens Barnes, SP4 Tammy Hancock and SP5 Chris Beaman and many more. All of these people have been real contributors to our way of life here at Dugway. To all of you who are heading thru the pass for the last time on behalf of the entire community THANK YOU for jobs well done and lasting memories of you all, you will Ire indeed missed.

Some totally new faces appear as well, Wilfred Jackson in EEO and Tony Witkowski in Civilian Personnel. To all of you mentioned omot, we warmly welcome you to Dugway and look forward to meeting you and your families and helping you make your marks on the community. . Another regular summer addition to the community is the small faces that appear to fill Dugway families with joy. MIKE IIERENDEEN of the 65th MPs had a old Public Affairs son last month, and our 50-ye- ar Officer Dick Whitaker was presented with a daughter Cassie and a son, Mathew on June 28th who, though premature, are doing well and are ex- pected to be the prince and princess of Ophir Canyon in a few weeks. There are many things that happen with the people of an Army Base, these are just a few, and I dont mean to belittle the accomplishments of anyone, or fail to recognize anyones arrival, all make a big difference to the way we live here. take some time out this week to greet a new neighbor, say thanks to a departing, comrade, or 1 welcome a new addition.

However, emloyees have the responsibility to refuse to violate the law or regulations or to give special advantage not called for by the law. UNDER THE policy.

After are shortages the course, you would refinishing new ceive the primary MOS, reenlist and then draw, the SRB. The Army would also try to give you a station of your choice. MOST of the MOSs are in technical areas, such as signal security or intelligence, missile crew member or main-9 now. But you'll have to pay more out of that check, too. There are things like doctor bills, health insurance, education, recreation and retirement that are now part of your Army benefits. ' AND WHAT about your 30-da-y paid leave per year? Think you can find a civilian job to offer that right off the bat? But benefits and bonuses arent the e, Staying in another hitch could mean up to $12,000 in your pocket. Thats if you qualify for the selective reenlistment bonus (SRB). Its paid to soldiers in certain MOS skills. About gory and you may hold one. Since the program started in 1974, over 70,000 soldiers have received an SRB. But youre not in a critical MOS. Then 'theres another way .you may qualify for a cash bonus.

Maybe youd like to change your MOS to something else you really want to do. You may be able to reenlist for an Army school and a whole new career. School spaces are given first-serv- e on a first-combasis for E-soldiers 6 and below. If youre a first termer stationed in CONUS, you can choose your next CONUS station if you reenlist. There must be a vacancy in your grade and MOS where you want to go. If you qualify, youll be able to stay there at least 12 months. Many other first termers, like you, have used this option since it went into effect last year. whole story to staying in.

This would ment when you reenlist, regardless of your grade or years in service. Youll be locked into your job for a specific guaranteed period. Altogether, the Army has 17 reenlistment plans to help you decide to stay in. Your units reenlistment NCO knows all of them and can tell you those that apply to you. Now, lets suppose you find an option you like, but still cant take the plunge. You believe you can make more money on the outside. Its true that your civilian paycheck is likely to bigger than the one youre getting low you to hold that just right civilian job and fulfill your reserve obligations at the same time. Youd serve one weekend a month and two weeks during the summer. Whats more, youd be able to keep up your Army skills and get paid at the same time.
