]]> Comment on Garrison addresses lack of participation for reveille, retreat by William Kesler http://www.hawaiiarmyweekly.com/2012/02/17/garrison-addresses-lack-of-participation-for-reveille-retreat-2/#comment-1738 William Kesler Sat, 18 Feb 2012 05:01:17 +0000 http://www.hawaiiarmyweekly.com/?p=4474#comment-1738 Nothing makes me prouder than rendering a salute to the flag. No matter what time of the day or what I doing. That being said, I think that the lack of participation with soldiers in vehicles comes from a significant need for modernization of the PA system. Simply put more PA's should be placed around post to make it easier for persons in vehicles to here the bugle sounds. Including; Housing Areas, Area X, Bowman Park Area, and the North West side of post. Nothing makes me prouder than rendering a salute to the flag. No matter what time of the day or what I doing.

This is an excellent opportunity and example for people to realize how a small gesture can make a huge impact. The families enjoyed seeing the children and having sounds of youth fill the halls. Mahalo to all though who supported this partnership and continue to share our mission.

Pelfrey http://www.hawaiiarmyweekly.com/2011/12/02/dental-command-makes-access-to-care-easier-for-hawaii%e2%80%99s-soldiers/#comment-1695 LTC Timothy R. Pelfrey Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:59:23 +0000 http://www.hawaiiarmyweekly.com/?p=3244#comment-1695 This LSS project works because the telephone numbers do not. Another fine example of taking care of soldiers. The system does not WORK!!!!! The two initiatives began June 2011 as a Lean Six Sigma project launched by David Vreeland, chief, Strategy and Innovation, PRDC Headquarters. “The days of dialing 10 different phone numbers in an effort to reach one of the three Army dental clinics located in Hawaii are over,” Vreeland said. “Soldiers will no longer hear a busy signal or the phone ringing endlessly without being answered. Soldiers will now select the clinic they are assigned to through an automated voice prompt system.” Soldiers get automatically cut-off, so there is NO busy signals or endless ringing.

If you are redeploying as part of a large unit, classes are already being scheduled for when the chalks return. You can register for these courses at https://apps.imcom.army.mil/airs/ or you can take a motorcycle safety course through the state. Lacey Fernando,
