It's the time of year when we plan our gift lists, wondering if we'll receive as much as we give. It is important that we plan our lists, however, to suit our receiver's needs. THIS IS A short suggestion list for Christmas '66, Dugway style: for all your military friends, there is an endless supply of gifts available. There's the Inspection Gift Box; this is a phony consisting of the standard display for easy fitting There are the Gift Certificates. These include a fake clearer' receipt enabling the man to hide his clothes during inspection, and then say that they are being cleaned; a five hair-cgift package for all of your hairy friends; a book of tickets for all the thrilling rides offered on nost. including a tour of the motor pool, a dunes ride and . nf mum ' . t the rifle ranm o- -, a round trip bus ride over John- son's Pass with PFC Maguire. If you need some cordial gift ideas for casual acquaintances, here are a few suggestions: a can of Brasso, containers of shoe polish, of the recipient's voice saying "HERE" for playback at morning formations, free passes to the Service Club and -best of all - a free pass to lunch or dinner at the East Area Mess Hall. (Ditto Area if preferred, but for lunch only!) What more could one desire! I Soon everyone will be out hunting, ax in hand, for the traditional Christmas tree. Unfortunately, on Dugway, about the ' only thing to settle for is a bush or a very large weed! I can see that there is a big need for some trees on Dugway so, when Arbor Day comes around, I will head a delegation of and bring the giant sequoia to Dugway.

Yes, provided the employee is not receiving any benefits for the service under the other system. If the other system is a contributory plan, the employee must, if he has not already done so, draw a refund of his deductions under the other system and redeposit the refund, with interest, in the Civil Service retirement fund. If the other system is a noncontributory plan, credit is allowable and the employee may make a deposit. The Social Security System is not a Federal retirement system for this purQ. Is extra credit allowed for service in foreign countries or for any other kind of service? actual calendar time. Q. How is credit given for service which is performed on a basis? A. Only the actual days worked may be credited. Q. WHAT DOES the term "military service" cover? A.

AS A GENERAL rule, military service is creditable gs provided it was active service, was terminated under honorable conditions, and was performed before separation from a civilian position under the Retirement Act. For exceptions to this general rule, see the questions immediately following. Q. Does the receipt of pension or compensation under laws administered by the Veterans' Administration bar the crediting of military service? A.

ARE alDECORATIONS a Christmas at ways big problem time. The problem is what to put up, and, then, how to make it have some meaning. The people in housing area will probably put up the traditional lights and ornaments, but what about the men living in the barracks? They will probably try to make do with what they have available. A broom or mop will be used as a Christ mas tree, then that will be decorated with some convenient orBrasso cans, naments hub caps, motor-cycl- e wheels, article 15s, fatigues, rundown boots, etc. The question then may come to mind "Does this really' represent Christmas?" Maybe not in the complete sense, but we all feel that the thought is there, and that's what counts!

The official definition states that a JOB DESCRIPTION IS THE WRITTEN RECORD OF SUPERVISORY CONTROLS, MAJOR DUTIES AND WORKING CONDITIONS. Personnel people like to think of a job description as a short and concise word picture of YOUR position and all other positions that are IDENTICAL or NEARLY IDENTICAL to YOUR POSITION. EACH job should be described before action can be taken to determine pay category, rates of pay and qualification requirements in order to effect appointments, promotions and re assignments of individuals. To help you to understand the terminology, the official Army definitions of POSITION and JOB are quoted below: POSITION CONSISTS OF one or more current duties established by administrative authority for performance by one person. At any given time, a position may be filled or vacant. To be recognized for pay, as well as other personnel administration purposes, a line supervisor above the position must officially designate the duty or duties as those which are necessary to further the mission of the organization for which he is responsible. If the position is filled, the duty or duties must be performed. Job includes all positions that have nearly identical supervisory controls, major duties, and working conditions. In the latest bowling reports a wwr-r- Would you believe its pos- sible for a player to score all the points in a football game for both teams! Well, it's possible, THERE WAS a game be tween aouinem 141 anu ington in which Bryon Haines of Washington tallied all the points in a 6-- 2 Husky victory. He scor- - . ed a touchdown for his own . team and later in the game was 4 tackled behind his own goal line,. , giving a safety to his opponents.

In addition, any continuing or periodically recurring duty will constitute a major duty if it either (1) occupies 25 per cent or more of the incuml)ent's time or (2) is sufficiently different from the other major duties of the position to require additional entrance qualifications or extensive training. JOB DESCRIPTIONS should be short and concise but d resent the complexity of assigned duties and responsibilities. This is all that is necessarv to cover in a WRITTEN RECORD of . a job. This record, plus existing regulatory material and personal knowledge of the organizations, function and details of the work, is used by position classification specialists in comparing the job with published standards by the Civil Service Commission and Department of the Army to determine the proper title, series and grade of the job. Many current descriptions are too long due to the inclusion of much useless detail. This useless material can be eliminated from job descriptions if a conscientious effort to do so is made by supervisory personnel. A considerable saving in time, file bulk and costs will result if this is done. WHY DO WE HAVE JOB DESCRIPTIONS? Job descriptions serve as the WRITTEN RECORD on which titles, series and grades are based and, thus, they are the official BACK-U- P for our pay checks. Job descriptions are also used in connection with performance appraisals, awards and for other management purposes. These are secondary uses though and are so treated by the position classification specialist. Under no condition should job descriptions be considered as detailed operating procedures all operations involved in performance of p which give the job. nt j 4tr SSSlllCZ A FESTIVE wsm .
