Unofficial Ambassadors ‘Dependents as wellas their military sponsors ‘ae looked upon by peoples overseas as examples of the Amarican way of life. For this reason, ‘the presence of mlitary personnel and their de- pendents in foreign countries. automatically places them in the position of unofficial am- Dassadors of the United States, iret a2 an American family overseas it is important to reali what a very ennspieuous groap you are going to he. Your acions will be watehed con stanly by thousands of foreign eyes. Natural- Iy tis places a very heavy responsibility on you bbeeause these people judge your eountxy more by what they see Arserieans do than by aay- thing else. For the daily life of an Ameriesn family, you must remember, ia just about the moat ropreaentative thing about your countey— ‘what you eat, wear, say to each other; how you govern your éhildfen and treat other peopl hhow you manage your home, employ your free ‘time, speak of your country. All these add up to the real, hard-core American in the eyes af foreigners. Foreign people usually accept with some reserve the things your newspapers, radios, and magazines say. Foreigners will make allowances, to ame extent als, for the sctions of single Americans-—people alone and away from home. But what foreign people see fan American family do. becomes Americana ‘and remains fixed in thelr minds along time. 41, Why Soldiers Need Cooperation of Local PaopI ‘To do an effective job in a foreign country, ‘our soldiers need the cooperation of the people ‘in that country. While itis true they have gone into friendly countries only at the request of these countries, the soldiers naturally ean do a better job, and do it faster, if they work among friends on the indiviual plane. Friendly ro- lations are therefore important not only in pro- moting harmony on an international seal, but are important to the soldiers individually, in their dally work. 42. Good Relations Good relations between Americans and other ‘poopia ara not hard to artablish. ‘Tha ohiaf ro ‘quirement is a sincere desire to understand one ‘another and a willingness to accept one another as friendly human beings with excellent reasons {for being different. Americans visting foreign ‘ouniries, however, have a difleult timo reallz- ing that whenever someone looks odd to ther, ‘they quite likely Jook odd to that other poraon, ‘Wherever Americans go, they tend to think of ‘tho other fellow as the strange one—even if i his homeland they are visting. Yet the Ameri ‘an postion overseas is no different from that ‘of mon and women of other lands who visit tis country. You are visiting thelr country—thelr strocts, their shops, thair homes. You are but a ‘small part of their way of lif, and should act accordingly. 43. We Judge Foreign Countries by Foreign Visitors 44 Most of you can recall observing foreigners hore in the United States. Sometimes it was the way they spoke; sometimes it was the clothes they wore that made them stand out ‘Bot there was never any mistaking the fact they were different from you. Living among these Deople—ea yuu will ston bw doing-—yuu are ook only going to look as diferent to them as they Aid to you, but you are going to find them react- ing to the things you say about thelr coantry in the same way you did when they spoke of your country. As you will recall, your fret impulee st hhome on encountering strangers in need of as- sistance was to help them in overy way you could. Their gratitude for your help, coupled with the admiration they usually showed for your eountry, made you want to do even more{or them. Moreover, the favorable impression ‘thoy madeon you inthis way usually was strong. enough ta override any adverse erltelam af that ‘country you hoard later. °. Ifyou wil just remember how conspicuous ‘these foreign men and women loaked to you, ‘and the strong impression you gained of their ‘countries through them, it will kelp you see the importance of watching carefully everything {you say and do oversous. Also your mannor of ‘reas while overseas i extremely important, ‘You should always be careful that the lothing ‘you wear while in public is proper for the oo ‘casion andin good tate, 4A, Dopondonts Overseas Are “Gusts!” of the Army 4, It is mportant for you to remember also ‘that while you are overseas as a visitor in a foreign lax, you ave actully going tobe, in a sense, a guest of the Army. ‘The Army's mission overseas ic @ hard one. Tt is training its own ‘units, teaching its allies to use American weap- ona, farnishing logistic support to ita own and allied units and, at tho same time, acting as ‘active components of international defense forees. ‘These tasks give your forces abroad vory litle sme to look after the neods of fami- Ten °, The Army, of course, realizes that men in the service are more sstis ied and generally do their jobs more enorgetially when they can hhave thefr fallen with thom. That's why the ‘Army hag gone to such grest lengths to bring fs many dapendents overseas as possible, and ‘why itis doing everything in its power to make them comfortable, But housing, feeding, and caring for Army familie is stil definite and serious drain on Army and local eivilian re souress—extra supplies are consumed, adition- al sdministrative personnel must be employed, fand to some extent the mobility of the Army Iteelf Ie hindered. Families can be accepted ‘overseas oaly to the extent thet the morale factor outwoighs logistical, tactical, and other considerations. By eliminating waste and ask ing for no more in the way of servis and sup- plies than you noed, you ean make the Army's Job of supporting you easier. Tt x important {for you to remember, therefore, that being able to join husbands, fathers, and sons overseas is stil very much a privilege, You are simply fortunate that the mission of the station to which you are going permits it to accept do- pendents 45. Why You Must Be Prepared for Em jencies ‘4 Missions everywhere, however, are subject ‘to change. While commanders overseas want to ‘do everything posible for dependents, a change Jn a mission may foree some oversea posts t0 restrict the freedam of dependents at times, . No post wanis to restrictor inconvenience dependents. But you must remember that your ‘Army overseas is “on guard” 24 hours a day. ‘At any time, and ina matter of hours, the foress ‘of war could be uncashed dirvetly upon it, Tals ‘means that dependents overseas may face ro- stritions they are not familier with in the States. But as part of the Army overseas, it is ‘well for you to remember that conditions not of your own choosing make various regulations ‘mandatory for the well-being of all. 46, How To Use Your Time Profitably ‘& Army women have always tried to help their men to do a beticr job. By Keeping good ‘homes, by serving on Army welfare committees, Dy keeping abreast of Army affair, and by such simple: domestic talks aa caring for a man's ‘uniform and looking after his health, Army wives, mothers, and daughters have done their sare to make ita better Army. Overseas, these tasks of family management vill stil be with you, but reeponsiilities will be greater. As 8 Yule, dependents overseas have more free tie ‘than they doin tis country. ‘This is due partly tothe inereased evilablity of servants—which, of course, some of you may not eare to employ “end partly to the almost complete break ios ‘Army families make with their old circle of friends and relatives. Free time, however, is like a two-edged sword. It can cut for oF against. If used advantageously, you and your {families can benett tremendously; if not, tree ‘time can bore you miserably. >, Finding ways to use this extra time over seas isnot dificult First of all, your children are going to claim a lot of it.” Although the ‘Army overseas operates a good school system for children, you wl probably fin that counsel- Ing and galding your children properly wil take ‘more time than it did at home, Remember, at hhome you had such things as television, service organization programs, and public playgroundstw keep your eslldren busy much of the time they were out of school, “Overseas, however, ‘they will be turning more and more to you to keep ther fully cceupied and happy. And itis ‘important that ‘hey do so because you will want ‘them to tale fll advantage of this experience. @, Tours of duty overseas give children, as well as grownups, a first-hand view of what the ‘world is really Uke. There is so much ehildren ‘an learn that will be helpful to them later in Iife. “Youngstor lecrn languages quickiy and srenerally make friends a lot more easily snd ‘tekly than adults, You should take advantoge Of this ability and encourage friendships be- ‘hwoon your children and forelgm boys and girls ‘in every way you ean. After al, these children fre the men and women of tomorrow's world 47. Children Need Expianations 4, It is particularly important, t00, that you talke your ehildken to visit as many’ points of historic interest as posible, and that you touch them something of the background underlying ‘the customs ant traditions of foreign people. Overseas, special low-cost tours usually are available to service families to visit as many ‘famous places 5 possible. In addition to help- ing your children learn more sbout the worl, these trips will also help you broaden your own experience, ', American children, too, are quick to realize ‘that for some rion they have a lot more than ‘ost foreign beya snd girls And they usualy ‘want to know why. This gives you an excellent ‘opportunity to explain to them some of their advantages —thy American aystem of free enter- prise and equal opportunity for all its vast size fand tremendous material resourees. But you should tell them, im addition, that Americans have boen more fortunate than others in avoid- Title land and too many people. Te is most im portant also that they understand that they have more because the American Way of life has given thom more; not Deeause they are any Detter a¢ indivduals. Children should know, too, that: many foreign people who have come ‘to America have become rich and influential; ‘that, in fact, much of the American eulturo— art, ‘music "Iiterature—was brought to this fountry by foreign people; that the American ‘way of life owas a. great deal to its forelan ©. Overseas, a noted before, same of you may want servants; others may not. But thelr effect fon your children i always an extremely im- portant point to consider. Yourg ehiléren sre ‘very impressionable and form their opinions of Toreiga countries and peoples argely on the basia of personal contacts, inclucing Ubose with servants. For this reason, you should bo ex- tremely careful that you hire the right type. ‘And, just aa ia the cage at home, you will find {you will do fa Detior with a codk OF tad Who is proad of her country and its ways than one who talks constantly of eseaping to America or Some other far-off plac. 48. Children Help Relations Abroad Too Your children, too, you mast remember, are just as much ambassadors of good will a8 you are. Loving, wellmannered children can be a tremendous help in showing foreign men and women a better picture of American life. ‘Spoiled youngstors, on the other hand, hamper four best efforts at promoting good ‘relations abroad I fs also important that your children retain thelr ability to look aftar themselves, ceven if they have & maid. Inssting that chik ddron overseas continue to pick up their own ‘ays, goto bed without coaxing, and dress them- selves wil pay off handsomely Iter. Undesir- able habita they pick up overseas, remember, will be yours to undo alone after you have re. ‘turned tome, 49. Uniform Carries Greater Weight Overseas a. Because they are solders in uniforms, the heads of your families are even more eonspieu- fous than you are, and their ations usually have ‘far greater effect on foreigners than you ‘normally would think pomsble. To understand why this is $0, you should understand thet to ‘many people of the world, the Army is th all- important arm of govermment—often the gov- ernment itself The word of an Army man, ‘therefore, in many places is viewed as the lear itself speaking. Through generations of experi- fence with one form of military dictatorship or another, many foreign penple heve acquired the habit of attaching undue importance to the epinions of anyone wearing a uniform, b. Americans, ofcourse fel a soldier is just another citizen. He has the right to spoak his 2‘mind the same as anyone else, and with no great- fr consequence or significance involved. But verses this soften not the caso, and overseas you must gesr much of your conduct to the Senstbities cf other people. As pointed. out before, to prevent unfortunate misunderstand ings, members of your families must watch ‘everything thay say and do, remembering that theee poople sre just as impressionable as you ‘wore when yeu first encountered “foreigners.” 30. Wellare Programs Need Your Help Al ‘Overseas the Army conduets numerous social wolfare programs, both for American service personnel and for loal civilians. These programa include concerts, dramatie produc- tions, festival, athlotc contest, arts and crafts ‘exhibits and Gemonstrations, model sirplene ‘meets, teenage clubs, Boy and Girl Scout troops, cultural clubs, Christmas toy projects, and ‘many children's parties and activities "These ‘programs nocd volunteers to acrve ae organ fers, dramstic coaches, erafta instructors, demonstrators troop loaders, and in many other capacities, Tt makes no difference how litle talent you have, your services are needed and will be appreciated. You will find your work ‘sa voluateer also provides many avenues for friendship ané information wot otherwise open oan Ameriem in a foreign land. , Tn adit, dependents are encouraged to participate in she community affairs of the host nation by serving in welfare organizations, ar ‘eipating im youth activities, actively eupport- ing women’s dubs, and associating themselves ‘with Toeal professional or Robby organizations. Also, some Army dependents organize special programs of their own, using their own funds. ‘The German Youth Activities Program ia typ cal of what caa be done by Americans on their own time to improve our relations abroad, By means of parties, games, and other activities, this program has won worldwide acclaim Zor its success in demonstrating to German boys and girls what we mean by a democrat society. ‘To find out how you can help with these various Kinda of welfare programs, you have ouly te contact your lcal special cervices officer. .

The Army Chapel is a eanter of service, cultural, and educational activities in Army hhousing areas around the world.

Fer the most part, they are easy to entertain as they pretty wel follow the same ‘ales of woclal etiquette that you do. Moreover, they like to eat and they Ike to talk. You will also find foreigners well-versed in the art of so- called “small talk,” and careful to avoid con ‘troversial or embarrassing subjects. By being good listeners you can learn more, be mare popular, and. probably serve your country better, °. Tobe fair to yourselves and your country, however, you neod to keep as Well Informed as possible about current affairs, expecially those ‘aubjects that interest foreigners. ‘Two subjects definitly out of the latter extegory, inidental- |y, are the grim details of your early struggles as service wives and domestic gossip. Foreign- fers automatically diseount American hardship {ales And forlack ofa sold basis for converse- tion, you can easily give foreign men and women ‘picture of Amoriea-—and ite Army-—you don’t Intend. Bad asthe effects of gosip are at home, they are infinitely worse overseas where foreign ars hoer, foreign minds often misunderstand, and forelgn tongues may magnify. ‘. In talking about Army life overseas, you should be guided as always by your own feelings about foreigners in America. Think, for instance, how you would feel to have someone ‘characterize a tour of duty in the United States as “a raw doa,” and your country as place to ‘which peopie are "shanghaied.” You wouldn't think much of person so tactics as to say such ‘thing, no matter how he felt. Im short, the whole business of selling America right goes hac to an old rulo—let your audience guide your speech. Naturally, Ameri- can standards are the only ones for you, but not always for others; and no amount of talking them up on your part will make them 30. Ine steed, throwing them In front of other people Jn a highhandod, “holier than thou” attitude ‘merely builds antagonism. Love of country and high regard for our ways ie, of course, eon ‘mendable, but you must be careful nott let this feeling lad you to treat the ways of others with contempt. Living. in. someone else's country places the burden for “getting along” equarely fon you. 53. Why We Should Buy Cautiously Overseas 4. A matter of real concern to our country the deficit im the international balance of pay- ‘ments. This deficit places « drain on the gold reserve of the United Statas and endangers our national eeanomy. In November 1960,_ this problem led direety to the placing of restric: tions on the numbers of dependents overseas. ‘Those retrictions were subsequently lifted, not bbeause the problem had been solved but, rather, because the President gave us the opportunity ‘to make an equally effective voluntary contribu tion to its solution, ®, Consequently, a responsibility has been placed an each member of the Army family, ‘whether military, clvilian employee, or Army Gependent, while serving overseas, to enter Wholehearéediy into a positive program to re- duce personal expenditures which contribute to the gold outfow. Your sponsor's new com- ‘mander will explain what is being done in his {immediate area to solve the problem and how you as an individual can contribute toward its Solution. ‘, However, since you will be making some purchasos oversoas, and sinco American spend. {ng habits overseas have alwaye been some ‘thing of a sore spot in our foreign relations It might be a good idea to include here = few pointers on oversee shopping in general. 4. Fiost, you must realize that mast foreign soldiers are paid a grost deal ese than Ameri can solders, rank for rank, and to protect the {feelings of other poople allied with us in a com- ‘mon defense, you neod to be careful that your buying always represents actual needs and is done as inconspicuously as possible. Naturally outbidding others when supplies are sbort leads to hard feolings. Free and easy spending, though it may make you the idol of a few shop: ‘eopers andthe like, makes enemies ebewhere . Also, what you buy overseas, use wisely Nothing irritates other people more than wan- ‘on waste—especially of food and other life necessities, Moreover, in examining foreign ‘merchandise ~or anything els of foreign origin for that matter—avoid unfavorable compari- sons with American products and services, {f- Ibis well to remamber that the average American buying in a foreign market place i tually at a disadvantage. “He is unfamiliar with foreign currencies to begin with and, in addition, isnot always as well versed on points ‘of quality as ho might be. Foreign merchants 31meanwhile are just as adept as your own incut- ting comers that do not show. Returaing home ‘with second-rate merchandise bought at frst {ate prices is discomforting to say the least. ‘The Army-Air Foreo Exchange Service over- eng stacks just about everything you wil want to buy abroad and is ina position to spare you ‘much of the risk of buying in unfamiliar shops But there is no denying that most of you get @ curtain amount of plessure out of shopping in ‘strange places. On these occasions, the more ad vanes preparation you make, the better your Duys will be. For instane, if you have decided definitely that you want to buy certain items like expensive Fags, carved chests, fassware, {You would be wise to check the price and quality ‘of these same items as now offered Zor sale in ‘the United States. Then when you go shopping overseas, you oan staigh prieae asked there ‘against prieos asked at home. But in doing #0 you should remember that the United States Dice includes transportation charges, Import ties, and retail and wholesale markups, ‘Other people who have gone overseas have found it helpful to take along a few eatalogues from United States stores, or have them rent. Jn addition to Keaping them posted on what is being offered in the United States, these cata- Jogues are helpful in obtaining items that can ‘not be secured readily oversens, ‘The Exchange Service, of course, stocks « much more complete Hine of merehandise there than it dees in the ‘United States, but there are always a few ape- cial tama and aizee that have to be obtained from home. 1 A further consideretion when eontemplat- ing purchases overseas concerns the shipment of items purchased into the United States. All ‘members of the Army family shouldbe familiar with tho laws applieable tothe customs require- ‘ments and procedures related to the fres entry (of personal and household effects into the ‘United States, Smuggling violntions ean result in the las of free-enty priviloges and even the seizure and forfeiture of effects. If you have Any questions concerning shipment of specie. items into the United States, have your sponsor resolve such questions with the military authori. ties at his oversea duty station. Tt i important ‘hat you know the law and abide with its pro- Visions. Failure to do so ean prove to be Very costly a 54, Additional Advice at Oversea Stations In briefing yourselves for this new tite overseas, there ar, of eourse, anumber of other points that eould be touched upon. But as a rule ‘Army families are given additional orientation ‘when they arrive at thelr new stations overseas ‘and are briefed at that time on all toms peculiar to-n particular country or part of the world ‘This section has sought only to outine features ‘nd responsibilities of oversea life common to all areas of the word, Tn particular, it has boen emphasized that ‘as Army familia you will have tremendous in fluence abroad, and that this infuenee should, tall times, be helpful to our national objectives. Tt has also bean pointed out that transporting ‘Army families overseas and maintaining them there on Amerlean standards is an expensive and dificult undertaking for our ecuntry. This makes family life overseas a privilege you ‘ust protect, Naturally, being ableto keep your amiles together is just about the most im- portant thing in the world for yea. But you ‘must also look upon this coming venture as & ‘wonderful opportunity to enrich your lives and ‘the lives of your children. So much of America’s culture, so much of the richness of our daily life has roots in old world traditions and eas ‘toms thet you owe it to yourselves to make the most of every opportunity to steep yourselves in the art, mule, and learning of tie countries you visit. ©. As good Americans you would probably do all these things without any speci reminders, but it never hurts to spell out obligations ox ‘asionally. You have too much at stake—both ‘personally and on behalf of your ntion, Army, and families—to leave sny stone wnturned in ‘your efforts to improve your understanding of and, therefore, your relations with the rest of the world. d. One further reminder. his section on conduct abread has frequently referred to in- digenous peoples of ather lands a foreigners, ‘Americans must understand, however, that they are the foreigners while abroad, and that their hosts overseas do not always measure success by the same standards that Americans use Great care must be taken to avoid disrespect or criticiam for the host country’s custome, cll ture, mores, political systems, and oficial,ar LETTER FOR PREGNANCY NOTIFICATION NDIX 1 Date SUBJECT: Preunancy Notification 0: (Transportation Ofer designated to assist you.)
