Perhaps one of the hardest things to deal with is the separations from the spouse. Even tougher, explained Bruggman is the return. Although separations are difficult for anyone, the return of the service mem- ber to spouse and family usually creates unexpected problems. ' : service member. Separations may happen in any marriage to do careers, but in the military the distance is also a factor. Spec 4 Rose Knight whose husband is stationed overseas, explains that he is so far away, it's not easy to talk on the phone, "you wonder how much that person will change. It's not like they are away for two weeks or even two months it's a long time. It makes for a lot of insecurities."' ; - There are regulations to protect the rights of spouses and , children of military members, explained Bruggman.

Announcements of Job Opportunities will be open between March 15 and April 15 83. Registers of qualified applicants will be established based on a random number for which a drawing will be held. As in years past, the plan calls for two sessions of six weeks each, beginning 10 June 85. A few appointments may be made for the complete 12 week period when positions are complicated and will require a longer training period to reach reasonable productivity levels. In their continuing effort to remove barriers to family member employment, Department of Army has implemented a suggestion to allow "transfer of eligibility" to potential gaining Army activities after announcements close. When an applicant demonstrates that his or her application was properly filed and accepted for consideration for summer employment at a previous location in a different commuting area, the application will be accepted at the new location, even though the local summer announcement closing date has passed. For further information contact the Civilian Personnel Office on telephone 2181. : There are many advantages to being married in the military, explained Bruggman.

The husband returns expecting to take over all these responsibilities." This change in roles causes the return to be neither pleasant or easy.

In another incident involving a servicemember, a young airman picked up a hitch- hiker, befriended him. and took him home for a meal and refreshments. Later, the ungrateful hitchhiker strangled the airman and left his body in a vacant lot. He then returned to the airman's home and brutally beat and raped his young wife. In another case, a Kansas Army National Guard sergeant enroute to Topeka ford weekend drill duty was when he stoped his car at a rest stop on interstate "He was robbed in the process," said a spokesman for , the Kansas Highway Parol.
