Field Printing and Publication Some day, we may have a Branch by SP5 Dave Pinnick According to Mike Frazer, Chief of the Field Printing and Publications branch, their branch is responsible for the printing or ordering of every form, publiation or locally printed documents such as test reports on post. Field printing is a support organization responsible for printing, binding and collation of test reports for. distribution to their various destinations. They print the weekly bulletin. Army Community Service (ACS) Newsletter, Civilian Personnel news bulletin. Merit Promotion announcements, .and Command directives among other forms and printed matter. IN FACT they print any government form with an R beside the form number, which means that it can be reproduced locally at units like Field , Printing. An example of an R" form reproduced here is DARCOM 2514-- which is used by many organizations here post. It Is used as a summary sheet 1292-- R is used for STE Form while. supplemental information for community relations activity reports. They also print most of the STE (local) forms which are used for many of the major office actions bn this post. DPG REGULATIONS and union contracts are some of the many other items that are handled here on post. . Frazer is assisted by Russell Larsen, who is the offset press operator, and together they provide most of the printed forms and paperwork items used here post. - The forms and publications that arent locally reproductive are ordered and distributed by the other half of the branch.

MC LAUGHLIN said, Im responsible for all the blank forms that come in from higher headquarters that are not what they consider Directorate forms. This includes Army Regulations (ARs), Training Manuals (TMs), Field Manuals (FMs), supply catalogs and other things. This also includes some printed signs, which are standard forms, but we only store blank forms," he continued, we dont store, publications. , Publications, he explained, that are ordered by people from Dugway have to be ordered through Baltimore or St. Louis. McLaughlin stores and handles approximately 6,000 different forms, from the Standard Form 63, which is the telephonevisitor memorandum used to' take messages, to EDP 1013, which is an application for merit promotion. MC LAUGHLIN must not only keep track of what forms and how many he has, but he also updates and replaces forms as they are superceded, amended or become obsolete. With all the forms he must remember, DARCOM, TECOM, STEDP and local forms, McLaughlin said, I dont dream of my job at night, nor do I count forms instead of sheep to fall asleep. I have my card file and microfiche system set up so that I know the status, amount and types ot torms I have, need or, have ordered. Between these two offices, printing and publications, they manage to keep Dugway in top form(s). . . NOW FIRST IN TOOELE .

Highly personal comments explore the depths of these mens feelings as they open up on subjects that many of them had been brought up to believe were taboo. Like many of us, they were led to believe that there was a particular type of behg behavior that a man had to follow, a form of living that was rigidly prescribed from childhood; men did not show emotions, men did not participate in sissy games, men were put on this earth to protect (read: dominate) women, etc. While it may not rank as one of the best of a series of psychological studies on human sexuality that have appeared recently, the HUe Report does present its information in terms all men can understand, and if it does nothing more .than show male readers e that there are other men out there who share fears, frustrations, and hopes about'what it is like to be a man, then the book has doen a worth- while service. m . criticized u -- 0 PROCESSING With This Coupon .Convenient boient'Loca .ww-?Hours: Mon. thru FH-- tun. to 6 ; 7 ITKIH FOILCu i - pjn4 Sat 9 a.m. to 4 IFATTQ8Y 163 East 3rd South, Salt Lake City - Phone or IN. . . the-sam- Although it lu ben wmewhat being e hemvy entiy tatothe poptyVoc&ogfcU V.
