In the past, responsiblity for informing family members about the workings of the Army was left to the soldier. This worked fine when the and passed on accurate soldier was information to the spouse, but that hasnt always been the case, according to the people at the Pentagon who staff the FLCL. Many wives call in, not knowing what services are available to them," says Jane Surles, supervisor of the line. Some are unaware even of what rights or services they have as members of the Army community. For three months, Mary M. has received no support money from her active duty husband, who is stationed in Germany. Shortly after his arrival there, he wrote a letter telling her he no longer wanted responsibility for the family. The kids and I are about to lose our apartment, says Mary, and I dont know what well do then. They both have colds and should see a doctor, but I just cant spend the extra money. well-inform- ed - .

Calls received at other times are recorded and answered as soon as possible. . The Family Life Communications Line serves a dual purpose, reports Surles. It provides information and referral services to get family members in touch with existing Army resources, and its a way for the Army to communicate back about its family programs and initiatives. Surles also heads the family assistance branch of the Armys quality of life office, the sponsoring agency for the FLCL. With the seven toll-fre- e incoming lines ringing about 11 times daily, more than 800 calls have been received during the first four months of operation. Most calls come from wives of active duty soldiers, but they come also from other family members, soldiers. Department of the Army civilians, and even from the other services. . Some callers, says Surles, want an immediate answer to their problems; others seek information about services that are available, but not always advertised. A few merely want a friendly listener. Callers generally reach a command counselor three rinjp unless all three staff members and Surles are tied up cm other calls.
