Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., Nov. 8, 1968 Personnel Spec. Assigned to Biggs Chaplains Corner A personnel specialist with Military Personnel Division at Dugway has been reassigned to the Defense Language Institute at Biggs Air Field, El Paso, Tex. SPECIALIST 5 John P. Boyle will be attending the 47 week course in the Vietnamese language. Upon graduation Specialist Boyle will be assigned to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam as a translatorinterpreter. He has been stationed at Dugway Proving Ground since April 1968. Specialist Boyle is a native of Maiden, Mass., where he graduated from Maiden High School in June of 1964. PRIOR TO being assigned to Dugway he spent time in Karlsrhue, Germany, and later with the U.S. Mission to Saudi byi CII (CFT) Patrick J. Adkini All of us want to be considered as mature people. Very often we hear expressions, "he is very immature for his age" or "she isn't mature enough for marriage", etc. Really how many of us know what maturity really is - or whether we are mature or not? Maturity means three things. The first of these is preparation. Maturity just doesn't happen. Several things must work together to develop maturity. Guidance is needed, usually for its full development. Experience is needed before one develops it. Theory alone is not enough. A serious application of oneself in order to learn from life is needed. The person must be determined to learn by reflection, by listening, by putting together pieces of experience to form a set of values for himself. Guidance, experience and the determination to grow up mentally are the three steps which lead to maturity. As a result of the preparation, one must have a developed sense of responsibility. This is the heart of maturity. It means the willingness to accept the obligations of one's state of life. A person with a sense of responsibility can be depended on. He foresees the consequences of his actions. He doesn't have to say over and over afterwards, "I'm sorry. I didn't think anything like that would happen." A person with a sense of responsibility looks ahead, plans ahead, and likes to act this way habitually. An immature person is like a child who neither looks back nor ahead. He finds it a burden to have to think ahead, to plan, and to fate the consequences of his actions. The mature person doesn't want to act any other way. He is emltarrassed if he fails to act intelligently and is proud of being mature. A third mark of maturity is initiative. A person with initiative doesn't have to be told what to do or to le reminded over and over to do something. He likes to think for himself. He notices what needs to lie done and does it. He doesn't do merely the minimum, hoping he won't le asked to do more. He wants the Job done right and does what he can do to make sure that it is done right. If he joins an organization, he doesn't sit luck a passive member. He looks to see what he can contribute, not just what he can get. He is a giver rather than a taker. These are the tests for maturity: A sound preparation, a sense of responsibility and initiative. Each one of us will have to examine himself to see if we pass the test. It ought to lie interesting to find out. - ".. , J I t I , 1 I t New GI Schooling Bill Passed for Draftees A proposal to permit soldiers with only 18 to 24 months of service to draw up to 36 months of peacetime GI Bill benefits was signed by President Johnson after having been passed by Congress This new bill in increases the present GI Bill Irene-fi- ts by 50 per cent. At the old rate-on- e day of school for each day of service - a draftee could accumulate only 24 months of GI Bill assistance for 24 months of service. A soldier would have had to serve an extra year to accrue a full 36 months entitlement. THE NEW bill provides extra school assistance for all men who have served on active duty since January 31, 1055. The bill is a part of a major congressional overhaul of veterans education programs. Other provisions of the new bill are: 1. Extended educational benefits of the War Orphans Scholarship Act to widows of men who are killed as a result of military service and wives of men who are permanently and totally disabled mid-Octob- from service-connecte- causes. d I. PERMITS veterans eligible for education benefits under two or more veteran's programs to draw up to 48 months of educational entitlement. Under the old bill they could draw no more than 36 months of total aid. The provision under the new bill benefits soldiers who have already used up full entitlement under the World War and Korea GI Bills and orphans who received aid under the War Orphans Scholarship program. 3. Permits veterans to take farm cooperative training on a half-tim- e time basis. or three-quartUnder the old system they were required to attend 12 hours of classes a week while working fulltime. 4. Permits payments for flight training to be made monthly in stead of quarterly. ENROUTE TO the passage of the new bill, the legislature turned down a proposal which would have permitted veterans to borrow up to $500 from the Veterans Administration to obtain a private pilot's license. A license is required for a veteran to take flight training under the peacetime GI Bill. The legislation kept the CI Bill allowances at the old bill levels $130 monthly to single veterans; $150 monthly to married veterans, and $175 monthly to veterans with two dependents. Veterans with more than two dependents received $10 additional for each child. The new bill's proposal was sponsored by Senators Ralph Yarborough (D.,- Texas) and Edward M. Kennedy (D., Massachusetts). The new CI Bill permits draftees who are separated up to six months ahead of normal discharge date and who satisfy their draft obligation to draw the full 36 months CI Bill entitlement. Educational benefits for widows of men who are killed as a result of military service would lie in addition to any they may lie receiving from Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC). The bill provides wives with up to 36 months of aid and an educational allowance of $130 monthly. They would have eight years to start training. - can five If"They that liberty to er SSCS-sssaw up obtain a little temporary safety de- santial serve neither liberty nor safety."
