Officials said that this type of fire fighting apparatus was a major breakthrough in flammable liquid fire suppression. A dry chemical knocks down die flames and a water-solubcompound secures die area to prevent flash back. le However, they went on to emphasize that die truck is a major factor in fighting aircraft fires. The one used in die demonstration was a three quarter ton vehicle with drive which gives it speed and the ability to traverse adverse terrain and get to the downed aircraft and save the occupants. THE DEMONSTRATION was held at Michael Army Air- four-whe- el field and Mike Kraus and Roily Lansh, fire fighting engineers from Ansul performed the operation. Visiting fire officials included Allen George and Robert Tanner of die Offirx of the State Fire Marshal; Floyd Peterson, fire chief, Ogden Defense Depot, Major Rumbaugh, fire marshal, Ogden Defense Depot; Darwin Van De Graff, Ogden City Fire Department; Clide Peterson, fire thief Ogden City; Deris F.

This and other changes in the Armys enlisted promotion system have crept into the scene via a Information Army Command Fact Sheet no. 44 dated Feb. 18. ACCORDING TO die fact sheet a minimum time of two and one-hayears active duty is now a prerequisite for consideration Of this six for promotion to E-months is waivable," leaving an even two years minimum active duty required before die soldier can be considered. In the new regulations up to two waivers of prerequisites may be allowed. Time in grade for all enlisted ranks remain die same, however, there are now new periods of minimum active duty for promotion in grades E4 through E9: THE PAY grade, minimum time in grade, minimum time on active duty and the maximum time available in die AD area are listed in that order here for information: For promotion to E9, the soldier must have 16 months in grade and 18 years active duty of which up to five are waivable.

IN OTHER areas, command- -' ex's of battalions and any similar organization authorized a commander or lieutenant colonel or higher, may not promote up to pay grade E6. Formerly promotion to E6 was reserved for the commanding officer of DPG. For E7 through E9, a unit or activity commanded by a colonel or higher has the authority to promote. If an individual has signed a statement of intent not to is not eligible for reenlistment he will not be considered for promotion. For promotion to E5 or higher, a minimum MOS evaluation score of 110 or higher prior to the effective date of the new regulation is required. Ibis provision remains die same, except now a waiver has been authorized for individuals with evaluation scores not below 70.

Personnel no longer are re quired to be on the job for 60 days before being considered. Evaluation data and recommendations are now being forwarded by air mail to die soldier's new duty station in the event he is transferred prior to promotion. He then gets immediate consideration rather than the long wait. Another' feature of the new regs that will assist personnel in planning for the future is a precedence" list for promotion at each activity. The roster, now required to be published, will list (in order) those next available for promotion in a certain MOS. In other wends a soldier can check the list to ascertain his standing for consideration, whether it be, first, second, tenth a particular or in ' MOS.
