First NCO Academy
Class Graduates
graduated NCOs to "put into
effect the knowledge we have
learned at the Academy." He
stressed the importance of
Junior NCOs attending the
Academy.
At graduation the NCO
receives 30 promotion points
which are valuable in pro
motions. But the experience and
leadership ability he acquires is
worth far more.
Ability counts in doing a good
job and a good job is the key
to getting ahead. Proficiency
coming from knowledge is much
more valuable than a few pro
motion points.

New MP Uniform
To Replace Old
A new uniform for military
policemen has been proposed
and may soon become a reality
under the auspices of the MVA
program.
The uniform pictured in the
photo replaces the traditional
fatigues with wash-and-wear
DA No Longer
Storing Wills
March 6 DA discontinued the
storage of wills as a convenience
to Army personnel.
In the past when a service
member died the will was on
hand without either his next of
kin or DA worrying about it
so it seemed. However any
delay in the storage mainten
ance or transmittal of a will
retained by DA could have had
far-reaching legal implications
in the settlement of an estate.
This could have caused a great
deal of worry particularly if an
updated will had turned up else
where designating entirely dif
ferent beneficiaries.
In view of this all wills of
service members presently on
file are being returned by
registered mail as promptly as
possible.
Breakfast Buffet
khakis and a flight jacket
which reverses to visible orange.
A civilian-type police badge
will be used in place of the
old MP armband and the com
bat boots will give way to low
quarters preferred by the
Northwestern Safety Council and
the Northwestern Traffic In
stitute for their safety.
A conventional police belt will
replace the "Sam Browne" belt
worn now. The .45 calibre pistol
will be exchanged for a .38
which is considered to be more
accurate at greater distances.
A new hard rubber club and
Mace will replace the old
wooden billy club.
A manikin displaying the
proposed new uniform was the
subject of much controversy and
conjecture at the quarterly
meeting of the Central Texas
P6ace Officers Assn.
