Syracuse Soldier In German Still Waiting For Stripe

The following is a clipping from the May 17 issue of The Overseas Weekly. It was brought to our office by Carl Godfrey and was written about his son-in-law and family at Butzbach, Germany: “For one whole year, Pvt. Rex Westerman remained a lowly E2. “All through that year the Pee-vee-tee kept on believing one of the oldest army myths around — that if a man isn’t promoted to E3 within a year, he’s automatically got grounds for discharge. “It just isn’t true. But good soldier Westerman didn’t know that. Married, broke and getting broker, he struggled along on E2 pay thinking that soon all his hardships would be over. “The 20-year-old GI from Syracuse, Ind., entered the service in March 1969, went through basic, completed signal school at Fort Gordon, then was told he’d made PFC. So he sewed on his mosquito wing and waited for the pay. “It never came. When he arrived at C Co., 16th Sig Bn here last November, honchos soon discovered that his records

contained no promotion orders. Somebody had either failed to type them up or neglected to include them in his personnel file. "Off with that stripe! “Even though Westerman’s record remained spotless, his sleeve stayed stripeless. So he kindly requested help locating the missing promotion orders, or a simple promotion instead, or a discharge. “ItXas getting pretty urgent. Westerman had brought his bride Patsy and their baby daughter Tiny over to live with him. Said a sympathetic buddy: 'They expect him to run his army life and a wife and an 18-month-old child on nothing. The man should be on welfare, not in the army!” “I kept telling them at the company,” said soft-spoken, unimposing Westerman. “But they won’t do anything.” “Finally the sad-sack private got mad enough to shout in honchos’ face that he was going to see battalion Co. Lt. Col. Donald Clark. Suddenly that same day, the unit finally cut orders making him a PFC.

“But even with the extra 016, said Westerman, shaking his head, he’s so far in hock ‘my wife and I can’t afford to do mijch more than go to a movie frnce # month and split a bag of popcorn.’ “Now all the penniless peon can hope for is a speedy promotion to Speedy 4 — something he feels he should have had by now anyway if the army hadn’t messed him up “Or if battalion boss Clark keeps his promise to check out those missing orders, the army may owe the Gi a .... of a lot of back pay. “Only two things are sure: Westerman’s not getting out of the army, and he’s sure as ... . not going to re-up!” Charles Pressler Promoted In Japan IWAKUNI, JAPAN — Marine lance corporal Charles G. Pressler, son of Mrs. Caroline Pressler of r 2 Leesburg, was promoted to his present rank while serving at marine corps air station, Iwakuni, Japan. His promotion was based on time in service and rank, military appearance, and his knowledge of selected military subjects.
