· SSA team to inspect
by Robert J. Ashley
Here it is Friday, Oct. 9, and
you're looking forward to a long
weekend. You've just wrapped
up a long and arduous week and
your plans are just to stay home
and tackle the pet project you've
never quite been able to do
because of one thing or another.
You arrive at home just in time
to hear the phone ring. Your
white gloved inlaws are due to arrive early Saturday morning!
(Well, there goes the long
weekend and so much for pet
projects!) The rest of the evening
is getting your house set up for
guests, i.e., changing the linens
on the spare bed, dusting and
vacuuming the whole house,
loading up the dishwasher to
clean off the dust on your best
china. Break out the silver polish
and get the silver out! Oops,
who 's getting the windows?
When you return to work on
Tuesday, you too will be receiving special guests and will have to
get last minute checks completed
in your office before the arrival
of the AMC Security Support,
Activity Inspection Team (SSA)
who will have arrived from
Georgia to accomplish their inspection of WSMR.
Do you have the following appointments in writing and up-todate, Security Coordinators and
Alternates, OPSEC POCs? What
about your authority to approve
reproduction of classified information? ls your end-of-day
checklist posted? Do your security training records for FY 87
show 100% completion for
military and civilian personnel?
Are surveys on file for conference
room, vaults and open storage
areas?
In addition to access lists
restricted areas posted, are the
supplementary controls enforced
if required? Are key and lock
control procedures IA W AR
190-51 and WSMR 190-6?
In conclusion a final reminder,
all reports regarding this inspection will have the attention of not
only the outgoing CG but most
definitely the incoming CG and
the AMC commander!
Best of luck during the inspection. If you have any questions,
direct them to the Security Directorate at 678-3233.
Jeffcoat A CA speaker
Clyde E. Jeffcoat, CPA,
Director of Finance and Accounting for the Department of Army,
formerly of El Paso, will address
the El Paso/Las Cruces Chapter
of the Association of Government Accountants at White
Sands Missile Range Oct. 14.
In February 1987, Jeffcoat was
promoted to the position of
Director of Finance and Accounting for the Department of the
Army, reporting directly to the
Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Financial Management). He is
responsible for Army wide
policies, systems, and operations
and he oversees the activities of
18,000 personnel at 300 field offices around the world, as well as
the employees at USAF AC.
A member of the Senior Executive Service, Jeffcoat is the

Services for PFC Glancy
Memorial services for PFC Darren T. Glancy will be held at 4 p.m.
today at the Post Chapel.
PFC Glancy died Wednesday morning from injuries received Saturday in a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 54.
The 20-year-old soldier was assigned to A Battery. He is survived by
his parents, Thomas and Connie Glancy of Phoenix and one sister.
The family asked that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the
Old Soldiers' Home.

DA directs standard pay day
from the
Civilian Personnel Office
In order to establish uniform
pay practices for civilians
throughout the Department of
Army, DA has directed all
civilian payroll offices to
establish a standard pay period, a
standard payday and a 12 calendar day pay lag for all DA
civilian personnel.
Since the WSMR Finance and
Accounting Division (RM-F)
already pays employees on the second Thursday following the end
of a pay period, which is the
twelfth calendar day following
the end of a pay period, this
aspect of the DA change will not
affect employees paid by RM-F.
However, establishment of the
standard DA pay period will affect WSMR employees as
described below.
Under the new DA requirement, the last pay period of the
1987 leave year will cover the
period from Dec. 20, 1987 to Jan.
2, 1988, with payday occurring 12
calendar days later on Jan. 14,
1988. Under the present WSMR
pay period cycle, the last pay
period of the 1987 leave year was
scheduled to cover the period
from Dec. 27, 1987, to Jan. 9,
1988, with payday occurring 12
days later on Jan. 21, 1988. In
order to synchronize the WSMR
pay period cycle with the standardized DA pay period cycle,
WSMR will have a one-week
transitional pay period from
Nov. 1-7, 1987. The changeover
process will occur as follows:
Pay Period Hours Check Date
Oct. 18-31
80 Nov. 12, 1987
Nov. 1- 7
40 Nov.19, 1987
Nov. 8-21
80 Dec. 3, 1987
Nov. 22-Dec. 580 Dec.17, 1987
Dec. ·6-19
80 Dec. 31, 1987
Dec. 20-Jan. 2 80 Jan. 14, 1988
The transition to the standardized DA pay period cycle will af-
feet WSMR employees in a
number of ways. We strongly
recommend that you carefully
review the following material in
order to ascertain what impact
the changeover will have on you.
All WSMR employees on compressed work schedules will be
placed on the standard five day,
40 hour work week for the oneweek transitional pay period
from Nov. 1-7. Those employees
assigned to compressed work
schedules prior to the Nov. 1-7
transitional pay period will return
to their compressed work
schedules beginning with the new
pay period of Nov. 8-21.
This will mean, of course, that
these employees still will have a
day off on either the first or second Monday of the pay period;
however, since the new pay
period cycle begins with the pay
period of Nov. 8-21, employees
should mark their calendars acContinued on page 3

COMMENTARY
State safety record not rosy
Letters to the editor
NMF&G thanks,
item not complete
Editor:
On behalf of the New Mexico
Department of Game and Fish, I
would like to thank the Military
Police Company at White Sands
for their invaluable assistance
with the hunter training program
in the Las Cruces area.
SSgt. Hogan and his troops
sacrificed much off-duty time to
the program and are to be commended for their efforts.
We are looking forward to
continuing this excellent working
relationship.

Editor's note: The following
letter from W. Dean Short refers
to an article by Hal Haskins titled, "Home budget still key to
family finance. " The article in
question was provided by the
American Forces Information
Service, a Department of Defense
organization which provides
stories of interest to the military
community.
Mr. Short's business card
states that he is an investment
consultant and has a master of
business administration degree.

tained an article on the home
budget.
I realize that the author, Hal
Haskins, is not a local. However,
his article could have unfortunate
consequences for Las Cruces and
WSMR families.
Mr. Haskins has provided no
funds for unforseen contingencies nor is any provision made for
variable expenses on health or for
fixed health insurance. He has
provided for "other" under both
categories.
The foregoing weaknesses are
as nothing compared to the major defects. There is no provision
made for either religious or
charitable contributions. Toportray the model financial picture
for a family as one which provides no funds for one' church/God or for one's neighbors
for charitable gifts would
discourage other than selfish expenditures. The Christian, Jewish
and Moslem faiths are all contrary to this strictly atheistic
budget. What a tragedy it would
be if our whole nation functioned
on a Hal Haskins family budget.
I am enclosing a copy of my
business card that you may see
my qualifications for criticizing a
budget.
W. Dean Short
New Mexico's traffic safety
picture is far from rosy as the
third quarter of the year draws to
a close. The most recent figures
show the total number of people
killed on the state's roads and
highways is up six percent over
the same time (January-August)
in 1986. Two aspects of the situation deserve closer attention: seat
belt use and the urban/rural
discrepancy.
Among front-seat occupants of
passenger cars-subject to New
Mexico's mandatory safety belt
use law-the year-to-date increase in fatalities is slightly less
than the total percentage: only a
five percent increase. However,
the number of deaths among
front-seat occupants of vehicles
exempt from the law (pickup
tucks, vans, etc.) has increased 31
percent.
The difference becomes even
greater when the 1987 year-todate figures are compared to a
pre-law (1983-85) average: exempt vehicle deaths are up 56 per-
cent compared to a one percent
increase in passenger c?.r
fatalities.
Also of concern is the difference between urban and rural
fatalities. Last year, 69 percent of
all traffic accident fatalities occurred in rural areas of the state.
The same ratio applies to the 363
people killed so far this year: 69
percent in rural areas and 31 percent in urban areas.
It appears the number of rural
deaths may be increasing because
during the same eight-month
period in 1986, only 61 percent of
all fatalities occurred in rural
areas. On New Mexico's rural interstate highways, the number of
deaths more than doubled between April 2 (when the speed
limit was raised to 65) and
August 15: 56 fatalities in 1987
compared to 26 in 1986.
New Mexico is not alone in this
urban/rural discrepancy. The
latest statistics from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration show 58 percent of
the nation's traffic-related
fatalities take place on rural
roadways and 42 percent in urban
settings.
The New England Journal of
Medicine in its May 28, 1987,
issue cites a number of factors for
the high death rates of motor
vehicle occupants in rural areas
including higher speeds, worse
roads, poorer access to trauma
care, more use of high-risk
vehicles and less safety belt use.
Mary Justice, Executive Director of Safer New Mexico Now,
the state seatbelt coalition, said,
"We do have some rural areas
where seatbelt use is extremely
high because citizen groups have
actively promoted safety belt use
and local law enforcement agencies have strictly enforced the
state's adult and child occupant
protection laws."
Justice said the number of
fatalities on New Mexico's rural
roads and highways would not be
so high if more motorists,
especially those traveling in exempt vehicles, would remember
to buckle up.
People Fitzsimons' concern
Thomas Fitzsimons saw
government as an extension of
the relationship found within
families, ethnic communities and
business groups. These groups
had played a major role in his rise
to wealth and status. He wanted a
government strong enough to
protect and foster the growth of
these elements in a healthy society.
Experiences in the revolution
reinforced Fitzsimons' nationalist sympathies. He
demonstrated his devotion to his
adopted land by springing to its
defense.
His talents brought him great
wealth, but he never lost sight of
the aspirations and concerns of
the common people. He retained
their respect and affection
because his career reflected both
a sense of civic duty and profound honesty. He judged each
political issue on ethical grounds.
Fitzsimons was born in Ireland
in 1741. His father died soon
after bringing his family to
Philadelphia. Thomas and his
twin sister Ann married into the
city's growing community of
Irish merchants. In 1763 Thomas
went into business with his new
brother-in-law, George Meade.
The new firm's emergence
coincided with Parliament's attempt to regulate colonial commerce and raise revenues to fund
troops stationed in the colonies.
Merchants· felt the burden directly and emerged as leaders of the
resulting storm of protests.
Young Fitzsimons eagerly joined the patriot cause. Popular
respect for his political judgment
and economic acumen led in 1774
to his election to a steering committee directing the protest over
the Coercive Acts and to the
city's Committee of Correspondence, the patriots'
shadow government.
Thanks to his growing wealth
and wide-ranging connections,
Fitzsimons
contributed
significantly to the speedy
mobilization of Pennsylvania's
military forces. Lacking a militia,
local patriots organized a force
from the ground up by forming
volunteer
units
called
Associators.
Fitzsimons raised and commanded a company in Col. John
Cadwalader's 3rd Battalion of
Infantry. During the summer of
1776 these citizen-soldiers faced
their first mobilization as part of
the Flying Camp, a mobile
reserve stationed in northern New
Jersey to prevent any sudden
British shift toward Philadelphia.
Fitzsimons' company went on
duty again in December to guard
the Pennsylvania side of the
Delaware River against British attack.
Complaining in his diary of the
hardships the company was enduring in the bitter cold of that
famous winter campaign, a company sergeant noted that Capt.
Fitzsimons was "very kind to our
men." Concern for the wellbeing
of others, a hallmark of Fitzsimons' military career that
echoed through his later life,
formed the basis of his broad
political appeal.
Unable to cross the river .
because of deteriorating weather,
Fitzsimons' company missed
Washington's great surprise victory at Trenton. The unit joined
Washington in time to participate
in the victory at Princeton.
Pennsylvania authorities then
asked Fitzsimons to help oversee
the state's navy which formed the
primary defense of Delaware Bay
and the river approaches to
Philadelphia. Fitzsimons helped
plan the capital's defenses,
organized logistics, coordinated
defenses with neighboring states
and negotiated regional strategy
with Congress. Eventually
Philadelphia fell to the British.
From this disaster Fitzsimons
learned that no matter how well
organized and defended one state
might be, its safety depended
ultimately on the united strength
of all the states.

Standard pay period--------------------------------
..
Continued from page 1
cordingly to identify their Monday off under the new cycle.
Employees will receive two
checks in November (dated Nov.
12 and 19) covering three weeks'
work and will receive three
checks in December (dated Dec.
3, 17 and 31) covering six weeks'
work.
Any employee with "use or
lose" annual leave must take this
leave prior to Jan. 2, 1988, in
order to avoid forfeiture. This
date is one week earlier than the
current WSMR pay period cycle
would have allowed.
Taxable income for 1987 will
be increased by one week as will
withholding for income taxes.
An employee who earns compensatory time normally has 13
pay periods to use it before it is
converted to overtime pay; the
one-week transitional pay period
will be counted as one of the 13
pay periods. In effect, compensatory time previously earned but
not yet taken will be converted to
overtime pay in 25 weeks rather
than 26 weeks.
The deductions for allotments
to financial institutions for savings of net pay or for voluntary
child support payments will only
be 75 percent of the normal
amounts during the month of
November since employees will
receive two checks in November
covering three weeks' work
rather than the usual four weeks.
Overtime will be scheduled and
worked in the normal manner
during the transitional pay period
of Nov. 1-7. Overtime which is
reported on supplemental or corrected time cards will be paid in
the following pay period.
All fixed-sum deductions except U.S. Savings Bonds will be
reduced by 50 percent for the
one-week transitional pay period.
Fixed-sum deductions include optional tax withholding, health insurance, life insurance, charity,
savings, union dues, voluntary
child support deductions and
Thrift Savings Plan (flat rate).
Deductions based on a percentage of pay will be withheld in
proportion to the employee's earnings for the one-week transitional pay period. Examples of
these deductions are federal
taxes, state taxes, retirement,
Medicare, FICA and Thrift Savings Plan (percentage).
No deduction will be made
toward purchase of U.S. Savings
Bonds for the one-week transi-
tional pay period.
Computation of Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) overtime
for firefighters will be based on
the one week transitional pay
period of Nov. 1 - 7.
Employees will accrue one-half
of their normal annual leave and
sick leave entitlements for the
one-week transitional pay period.
One-half the normal employer
contributions will be made during
the one-wee~ transitional pay
period for health insurance, life
insurance and Thrift Savings
Plan (flat rate).
The WSMR Finance and Accounting Division is sending letters to all financial institutions
and to all government agencies
that regularly receive allotments
of net pay from RM-F informing
them of the one-week transitional
pay period and the transition to
the standardized DA pay period
cycle.
Employees of the U.S. Army
Commissary-White Sands (paid
by Fort Sam Houston, Texas)
and the McAfee U.S. Army
Health Clinic and Dental Clinic
(paid by Fort Bliss, Texas) also
are covered by the DA requirements for a standardized
pay period cycle, a standard payday, and a 12-calendar day pay
lag.
Commissary employes already
are on the standardized DA pay
period cycle; however, in order to
establish a 12-day pay lag, Fort
Sam Houston will implement a
conversion to the standard DA
payday beginning with the pay
period Oct. 25 to Nov. 7. All
paychecks for that pay period
will be dated with the pay date of
Wednesday, Nov. 18, 1987. For
the pay period Nov. 8-21, all
paychecks will be dated Thursday, Dec. 3, 1987. Thereafter, all
paydays will be on Thursday, 12
calendar days after the end of the
pay period.
Checks will be mailed from
Fort Sam Houston on the
preceding Monday, the ninth day
after the end of the pay period, in
order to reach Commissary
employees in a timely manner.
Employees of the McAfee
Health Clinic and Dental Clinic
also are on the standardized DA
pay period cycle. However, in
order to establish a 12-day pay
lag, the Fort Bliss payroll office
will implement a conversion to
the standard payday beginning
with the pay period Nov. 8-21,
1987.
This transition will occur as follows:
Pay Period
Nov. 8-21, 1987

On Sept. 30 an era came to an
end at WSMR with the shutdown
and turn in of the IBM 360
Telemetry Processing System.
This system which had been in
operation since 1967 had been
feeling its age and suffering in
terms of reliability, processing
capability and maintainability.
Oct. 1 marked the first fiscal
year that the Telemetry Data
Center (TDC) supported range
tests without the IBM 360 system.
It also marked the first fiscal year
that the TDC was not charged
with causing a mission abort or
cancellation due to telemetry processing equipment trouble.
During Fiscal Year 1987, TDC
supported 363 real-time missions
and 139 playback missions
without a failure. This was due to
the Augmented Telemetry Controller System (ATMCS) which
serves as an interim replacement
of the IBM 360 system until
delivery of the Telemetry Data
Handling System.
The ATMCS was designed by
the Systems Engineering Branch
(NR-AE) of the Data Science
Division, National Range Operations Directorate. Several pieces
of equipment had been bought to
serve as temporary fixes for the
IBM 360 system's problem areas.
By making use of this equipment
and designing new interfaces,
NR-AE was able to develop and
implement the ATMCS in-house.
A Value Engineering Proposal
approved by RM-MP and forwarded to TECOM on August
19, 1987, showed that this
resulted in a cost savings of
$1,097,297.30 for WSMR.
TDC capability has increased
notably with the ATMCS. Data
from up to six different objects
can be processed in real-time.
This data is used by project for
making critical GO-NOGO decisions and by Missile Flight Safety
to ensure that the test is conducted in a safe manner. After a
successful test the data is analyzed to show how the test met objectives. In case of problems during a test, analysis of the data
becomes more critical in order to
pinpoint causes of the problem.
The various instrumentation
systems at WSMR can answer the
"who," "what," "where" and
"when" questions of a test.
However, only telemetry, which
consists of the internal
measurements generated by the
test object itself, can answer the
big question "why." Why did the
system succeed or why did it fail?
With the ATMCS, that question
will be answered for testing at
WSMR.

Employee 'quaker' after LA visit
A White Sands Missile Range
employee who is originally from
Ohio and who has lived in Texas
and New Mexico since 1958
recently became a "quaker."
Don Hill, a motion picture
director at the Visual Information Division, says religion has
nothing to do with his new identity. He just happened to be on the
21st floor of the Holiday Inn in
Los Angeles a week ago Thursday when the earthquake struck
the area.
Hill was on assignment to
Hollywood. He was just getting
ready to leave the hotel when the
earth tremor struck at 7:42 a.m.
There was a grating sound and a
"bump" and the building began
to sway. He estimates the
building swayed ten feet or more.
"The swaying didn't bother me
so much because I know those
newer buildings in California are
stressed for an earthquake. But
the bumping and grating was
scarey," he said.
Hill said he was fortunate the
elevators were in op-eration.
Many people were stuck in
elevators between the floors of
several other hotels.
The 'quake, which measured
6. 1 on the Richter scale, killed six
people and injured 'more than a
hundred . It destroyed buildings
and left a sea of broken glass. As
many as 15 aftershocks have been
counted since the original tremor.
Jojola capti1res coi1pon contest
The Commissary just finished
another coupon mania contest.
The winners are: !st prize,
Joan Jojola, GE dryer (431
coupons); 2nd prize, Florence
Ash burner, VHS recorder (408
coupons); 3rd prize, Richard
Highman, 3 man tent, 3 sleeping
bags, 3 backpacks (402 coupons);
4th prize, Kathy Eschrich, Green
Giant telephone (238 coupons);
5th prize, Amey Haddad, radio
telephone (234 coupons); 6th
prize, Wanda McDowell, sleeping bag and backpack (205
coupons); and 1th prize, Patricia
Angel, Green Giant saving bankmusical (190 coupons).
The Commissary is happy to
award these prizes. This is just
one of the ways to show appreciation for the community's
patronage. By using coupons and
vendor price reductions (VPRs),
valuable dollars can be saved,
dollars to be used for other needed items to improve the quality of
lifestyle- perhaps a babysitter to
allow a busy mother some time
off, extra gas money to enjoy a
Sunday drive or extra money to
tip a favorite grocery bagger.
The vendors who serve the
Commissary donate all the prizes
free of charge that are awarded
for coupon mania, door prizes
and various drawings. This is one
way both vendors and Commissary personnel can thank
everyone for supporting the

Qs & As on CSRS/FERS
What everyone should know about FERS Benefits
Information for employees
who plan to retire soon
after transferring to FERS
Q. I am transferring to FERS
during the open season. I plan to
retire next year at age 55 with 30
years of service. Will I get credit
for my sick leave?
A. Yes. Credit for your sick
leave will be added to the CSRS
portion of your annuity. The
amount of sick leave will be the
lesser of the amount of sick leave
you have when you transfer and
the amount of sick leave you have
when you retire.
Q. I am 56 years old and I am
transferring to FERS during the
open season. I plan to retire next
year. Will I get immediate costof-living increases after I retire?
A. Yes. The portion of your
annuity that is computed under
the CSRS rules will receive
COLAs according to the CSRS
COLA rules. That portion will
get full COLA increases when
they are paid to CSRS retirees,
except that the first COLA increase will be prorated according
to how many months have passed
since you retired.
The portion of your annuity
that is computed under the FERS
rules will receive COLAs according to the FERS COLA rules.
That portion of your aRnuity will
get no COLAs until you are age
62. Then you will get COLAs that
are 1 percent less than the costof-living increases as measured
by the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), except that FERS matches
the CPI up to 2 percent.
Q. if I transfer to FERS, can 1
still get the lump sum payment of
the money I have paid into the
retirement fund?
A. Yes, unless you retire on
disability or a qualifying court
order awards a portion of your
annuity or a survivor annuity to a
former spouse. When you retire,
OPM will send you an election
rate with and without the alternative annuity. OPM will also
send you tax information
prepared by IRS.
Q. I understand that when I
retire, CSRS computation rules
will apply to the years and
months of my CSRS service and
FERS computation rules will apply to the years and months of
my FERS service. What happens
to left over days of service under
each computation?
A. Both CSRS and FERS use
only years and months in annuity
computations. Left over days are
dropped. This is true even if your
left over days of CSRS service
and left over days of FERS service total a full month.
Q. ls there any minimum
period of service required under
FERS before I can retire under
FERS?
A. No, except that you need 5
years total civilian service to
retire. Your past CSRS service
counts toward this 5-year requirement. (See the next three questions about how a benefit is computed and when it can begin.)
Q. When do annuities begin
under FERS?
A. Except for disability or
discontinued service, FERS
benefits begin on the first day of
the month after separation for
retirement. (The CSRS provisions allow benefits to begin the
next day if an employee separates
for retirement on the first, second
or third of the month.)
Q. If I am under FERS and
retire on one of the first 3 days of
the month, will the CSRS portion
of my annuity begin the next
day?
A. No. You are retiring under
FERS, not CSRS. The FERS law
lets you keep the benefits you
earned under CSRS by applying
CSRS computation rules to your
service under CSRS. However,
for most other purposes, the
FERS rules apply to your annuity.
Q. I plan to transfer to FERS
on/about Dec. 13, 1987, and
retire at the end of the month.
Will I get a FERS benefit?
A. No. Since you won't have a
full month of service under
City Barber & Beauty Shop
Q. I am 50 years old with 20
years of service. My agency may
have a RIF next year. If I transfer
to FERS and am R!FFed next
year, will my annuity be reduced
because of my age?
A. Yes, the portion computed
under CSRS will be reduced for
age. There is no age reduction
under FERS for involuntary
retirement based on 20 years of
service and age 50 (or 25 years of
service and any age), so the FERS
part of your annuity won't be
reduced. The CSRS age reduction

Q. I am 53 years old and
already have 31 years of service.
If I transfer to FERS and leave
the government, can I get my
unreduced annuity at age 55?
A. Yes. You will be eligible for
an unreduced annuity at age 55.
Remember, though, that you
can't keep your health or life insurance as a retiree. Also, you
will not be eligible for the Special
Retirement Supplement.
Q. I am now covered by CSRS
Offset because I returned to
Federal Service in 1984 after a
break in service of more than a
year. I plan to transfer to FERS
during the open season and retire
a few months later. Will I be
eligible for a Special Retirement
Supplement?
A. Yes, if you meet the
minumum age and service requirements for an immediate
unreduced annuity. This is
because your service that is subject to FERS computation rules
begins when you returned to
Federal service in 1984 under the
"interim" retirement plan, making 1985 your first full calendar
year subject to FERS computation rules.
Q. I am transferring to FERS
with 20 years of service. I plan to
retire in 1989 when I reach age
«J. Will I get the Special Retirement Supplement?
A. Yes. You will have met the
age and service requirements for
an immediate unreduced annuity-in this case, age 60 with 20
years of service. Remember,
however, that the Special Retirement Supplement is subject to an
earnings offset, and if you earn
too much in another job, after
you retire, your Supplement may
be reduced to zero.
Q. I am a 46-year-old
firefighter with 23 years as a
firefighter. If I transfer to FERS
now and retire in 2 years when I
have 25 years of service, will I be
eligible for the Special Retirement Supplement as soon as I
retire?
A. Yes. You will have met the
age and service requirments for
immediate unreduced retirement
as a firefighter you will also have
1 calendar year of service under
FERS. Since you qualify for
benefits under the special provisions for firefighters, it is not
necessary for you to meet to the
minimum retirement age applicable to other types of immediate retirement in order to be
eligible for the Supplement. In

Q. I have 43 years of service
under CSRS and I want to avoid
the "80 percent limitation." If I
transfer to FERS, can my annuity
exceed 80 percent of my average
pay?
A. Yes, but only if it is the
FERS portion of your annuity
that causes the total annuity to
exceed 80 percent of your average
pay. The CSRS portion is still
limited to 80 percent of your
average pay. You reached the 80
percent level at 41 years, 11
months of service. CSRS deductions that were withheld from
your pay after you reached the 80
percent level are first used to pay
any deposits (for past nondeduction service) or redeposits (of
refunds) that you owe. Any
money that remains can be
returned to you or used to purchase additional CSRS annuity
under the voluntary contribution
provisions of law.
Q. I am 55 years old and I have
15 years of service. I plan to
transfer to FERS and retire next
year. Can I postpone getting my
annuity to lessen the age reduction for being under age 62?
A. Yes. Remember, however,
that you can't keep your health
and life insurance if you defer
getting your annuity. Also, your
high 3 will deminish with inflation while you wait for 7 years.

FERS, you won't get a FERS
benefit. (Like CSRS, FERS only
uses years and months in annuity
computations. Left over days are
dropped.) Your annuity will be
based completely on your CSRS
service before you transferred.
Your benefit won't have a FERS
component to it. Note, however,
that since you will be retiring
under FERS, your survivors'
benefits would be computed
under FERS rules.

Set aside a regular time to ride
but vary your route. Try to avoid
routes with high traffic volume.
• Don't try to lean too far

crouch can tire you out and cause
back strain. Ride at an angle
that's comfortable. Raise the
handlebars if they force you to
lean forward.
• Stay relaxed while you ride.
Don't grab the handlebars in a
death grip, and keep the upper

• Learn hand signals and
obey traffic laws.
• An easy way to determine

hard enough to work up a sweat,
but not so hard that you become

method is to take your pulse.
Press your neck artery for six
seconds and multiply the number
you get by 10. To get your maximum pulse rate, subtract your
age from 220. Shoot for 75 to 80
percent of your maximum pulse
rate when you ride.
AMV accidents doWn
The downward trend that
began in 1982 in Army motor
vehicle (AMY) accidents continued through 1986 and resulted
in the lowest accident rate in 12
years. Programs to improve
driver safety and maintenance in
AMY operations have produced
a 26-percent reduction over the
past five years.
The Army motor vehicle accident rate for 1986 was 2.32 per
million miles driven, an improvement over the previous year's rate
of 2. 71 and better than the
average rate of 2.93 for commercial carriers. This is especially
noteworthy in view of the higher
risks involved in off-road, tactical AMY operations.
To further reduce AMY accidents, the Army has revised its
regulations governing driver
selection and licensing to include
standardized driver training. The
Army is also buying drivertraining simulators, and vehiclespecific driver training packages
are being developed for each tactical vehicle.

People Fitzsimons'----Continued from page 2
Fitzsimons was concerned
about inflation and other serious
economic problems that marked
the latter years of the revolution.
Pennsylvania, like many other
states, was unable to cope with
these issues. Fitzsimons' experiences in uniform and in later
helping Robert Morris to
organize banking support for
Washington's army convinced
him that stronger central authority did not pose a threat to liberty
and was in fact the only solution
to the new crisis.
Pennsylvania sent Fitzsimons
to the Continental Congress in
1782. There he concentrated on
financial and commercial matters
supporting the growth of
domestic industry and the payment of the nation's debts, particularly those owed to the
soldiers of the Continental Army.
He differed from more extreme
colleagues in arguing "that the
weight of the taxes fall not too
heavily upon any particular part .
of the community."
After the war, Fitzsimons served in a number of state offices
and was selected to attend the
Constitutional Convention in
1787. He spoke often on issues
relating to commerce and
finance, arguing that the central
government should have the right
to tax both exports and imports
to raise revenue and regulate
commerce.
Following the convention,
Fitzsimons returned to the state
legislature and ll"cl ~ fight for a
special convention to ratify the
constitution. He believed that
since the document derived its
power from the people, the people must approve it through
representatives elected solely for
that purpose.
Fitzsimons sat for six years as a
Federalist in the new House of
Representatives. He served on
several important committees
and was chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. Defeated
in 1794, he devoted the rest of his
life to business and charitable affairs. He died on Aug. 26, 1811.
He suffered financial reverses in
old age, but this shook neither his
faith in the common man nor his
sense of obligation to those less
fortunate than himself.
Seventeen WSMR-TECOM employees were honored at the Commander's Length of Service luncheon held at the Officers Club on
Sept. 30.
Range Commander Maj. Gen. Joe S. Owens presided over the
ceremony, recognizing the honorees by presenting them with certificates of service and lapel pins for having att3ined 30 or more years
of service with the federal government.

ACS treats hundreds of incest cases in the Army
by Jenice Armstrong
A career Army sergeant started
sexually abusing his daughter
when she was six years old. When
his wife found out, she confronted him and demanded that
he stop.
He agreed and left the
daughter alone for eight years.
However, when she was about
14, he started abusing her again.
Realizing that she couldn't solve
her husband's problems on her
own, the wife moved her children
into a shelter and turned to the
Army for help.
Each year, Army Community
Servkes' counselors treat hundreds of military families suffering from incest. In 1986, 644 sexual abuse cases were reported in
the military community, many of
which were handled by ACS.
The incidence of sexual abuse
mirrors that of the civilian com-,
munity, although Army social
workers think that the extra
stresses of military life may help
contribute to some cases.
However. that link hasn't been
scientifically determined, they
said.
In the sergeant's case, his
career had stagnated at the time
he attempted to resume his incestuous relationship with his
daughter. He was assigned to a
job which gave him little satisfaction. Also, the wife had begun
working nights and leaving him
at home alone with the children.
In treating the family, ACS
took jmmediate steps such as suggesting that locks be put on the
bedroom doors and recommending that the children never be
left alone with Dad. Counselors
also set ground rules for behavior
to prevent the playful activity
such as wrestling or tickling,
which often preceeded the
father's sexual advances. The
sergeant, who revealed that he
had been sexually abuse by his
stepfather, was willing to be
treated and agreed to undergo
psychotherapy treatments.
The .Army's treatment program consists of primarily four
stages: identification, reporting,
Counseling and medical treatment services are provided
through the installation medical
treatment facility or coordinated
with local civilian services.
Military treatment programs
range from comprehensive services for the family and child to
monitoring assuring that the
abuse doesn't recur. Also, often
the chaplain has special resources
such as parent education or
couples' communication classes.
An integral part of the Army's
treatment of sexual abuse cases is
regular communication with the
service member's commander on
progress being made in treatment. This command authority
has been useful in motivating
families to participate.
Some families are fearful of
admitting that they have a problem because they are afraid of
what impact it would have on the
soldier's career. Army policy is to
attempt to treat both the offender
and the family using both civilian
and military resources, not
automatically separating them.
Each commander is responsible for being familiar with the installation's rehabilitation procedures and disciplinary policies
treatment and follow-up. Other
services include community
education, prevention efforts
which support good parenting,
crisis intervention and emergency
shelter and counseling.
Under the Army Family Advocacy Program, a coordinator
develops community education
and prevention programs, coordinates civilian and military
resources, assesses the special
needs of families and publicizes
information on how to report
child abuse.
The Army Family Advocacy
Case Management Team, composed of both military and local
civilian services, is responsible
for diagnosing, evaluating and
managing cases of child abuse
and neglect. The team includes
Army Community Services, law
enforcement, pediatrics, legal
services, civilian child protective
services and other personnel.
The team also coordinates with
local child protective services to
identify ways military services
can be used to protect the child
and treat the family.
fled chile ristras add to coloi
New Mexico's autumn landscape, accented by the brilliant
red of chile drying in the sun, is
an exciting picture for natives
and visitors alike.
From mid-September until
frost, green chile matures and
turns a deep red color. New Mexicans have traditionally harvested
and strung red chiles into colorful
strings or ristras. The chile is
hung outdoors in the sun to dry.
In recent years ristras have
become popular as home decorations and a market has developed
for red chile wreaths," said
James Sais, horticulturist for the
Cooperative Extension Service at
New Mexico State University.
"A mistake often made by
people who acquire a newly
strung ristra or wreath is to bring
it indoors immediately. The ristra
should be dried first. Without
proper drying outdoors, the chile
may rot or turn moldy.
"Since the ristra can be used
for a home decoration now and

relating to family violence, and
for insuring that soldiers receive
proper treatment for abuse.
Army officials are required to
report child and spouse abuse
cases to an Army Central
Registry, which records incidences of abuse and is used for
background checks for people
seeking jobs to work with
children.
Overall, the success rate of the
Army in treating families suffering from sexual abuse has been
fairly good. However, social
workers admit that there still remains a lot to be done to teach
commanders and the community
at large to confront their own
biases and fears on the issue and
realize that it could happen in any
family, said Maj. Rene
Robichaux, chief of family Advocacy at Walter Reed.
The sergeant's family is still
undergoing therapy, but counselors are optimistic that with
counseling the family will remain
together.
"They are just in the beginning
stages," Robichaux said. "It's
going to take a fair amount of
time."

. Dollar drop overseas troubles U.S. service families
by Jenice Armstrong
In recent years, the rate of the
dollar overseas has dropped
dramatically leaving U.S. servicemen and their families hard
up for funds to cover basic living
costs-a problem compounded
by a trend toward longer overseas
tours.
But there are places where they
can turn for help. Army Community Services has overseas
facilities where soldiers can learn
financial planning, checkbook
management and debt liquidation. Free classes also are offered
in how to develop a savings plan,
consumer rights and responsibilities and credit management.
"Army Community Services'
mission is to teach the soldiers
and their families to manage their
money to the best of their
ability," said Issac Templeton, a
consumer affairs program
manager at the U.S. Army Community and Family Support
Center.
"The dollar doesn't buy as
much now overseas as it used
to," Templeton continued.
"What we're trying to do is teach
soldiers to stretch their paychecks
to cover their basic living costs."
ACS' emphasis is on prevention of financial problems,
managing credit, planning for
PCS moves, encouraging the use
of commissaries and exchanges,
saving for the future and providing economic survival tips.
As part of its mission, ACS officials continually are upgrading
their facilities and resources in an
effort to meet the needs of
soldiers in the throes of economic

To help soldiers out, the Army

given permission for noncommand sponsored families to
return to CONUS on military
flights on a one-time basis.

Credit card deals
Consumers interested in low
annual percentage rates and fees
on credit cards are increasingly
turning to credit unions to find
the best deals and most service.
White Sands Federal Credit
Union offers members the VISA
credit card at 14.5 percent APR,
25 grace period and $5 annual
membership fee.
Comparing rates and fees of
credit cards before applying for
them is the best way to ensure the
card fits your needs and gets you
the most for your money. By doing so you can see the up front
savings and savings potential of a
credit union VISA.
Helen McAllister, branch
manager of White Sands Federal
Credit Union, maintains that its
lower rates and fees are due to the
cooperative nature of the credit
union movement and the credit
union's desire to meet members'
wants and needs.
Union, with $45 million in assets,
serves 17,391 members.
