		<description>Not all contractors are bad, they are of some utility in some cases. However some comments above are true. If you don&#039;t have SOFA live without it.  Stop taking those trips to PI and you will live well. Some of these same guys have established such a corrupt network in South Korea that is not funny. This is just the bubble correcting itself. What you sow you also reap. You have tried to stop many from living decently, by your corrupt actions as part the systems there. Some foolish commanders even listen to you in the jobs you take. All military police in South Korea should go home. You are one of the most corrupt of the networks. If you did something corrupt there, know that it will follow you except you repent.  You laugh when some of your own comrades fail to do finagle the system the way you do. You use a corrupt code of silence that has hurt many and help you to be rotten. The U.S. does not need ambassadors of America like this in South Korea. These guys really need background checks, instead of doing check on others.</description>

		<description>Say, there, Dilan,

Do you suppose you could supply some fresh Sri Lankan teenage boys to perform &quot;domestic duties&quot;?

We would like 3 well-mannered, slightly effeminate ones with clear skin in assorted shades.  Make sure they have good teeth and as little body hair as possible.    

Also, we would like one jolly little fat one dressed in a sailor suit.

I look forward to your reply and await your reasonable quote.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It was due to incredible interest resulting in a record volume of comments which made reading and responding cumbersome, bordering on impossible...&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
I just clicked on the link and it took around a second or so to load. 
 
The only time I&#039;ve ever heard of anyone having a hard time opening this thread is when they were using there work (gov&#039;t) computer at the office.  
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;...coupled with the miserable Reply feature which results in unnoticed replies and, if a comment was known to have been made, requires tediously going back through past posts in hopes of finding it.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
If you use blockquote, you can respond in the same manner I am responding in this post.  It allows you to quote the text you want to quote, and it shows up as the newest post. </description>

		<description>Hey, GI...

This thread died.  

It was not due to lack of interest in the situation of contractors.  It was not due to lack of interest in a pattern of USFK behavior that might show insight into future actions.  It was not due to a lack of interest in the varied interpretations of regulations.

It was due to incredible interest resulting in a record volume of comments which made reading and responding cumbersome, bordering on impossible... 

...coupled with the miserable Reply feature which results in unnoticed replies and, if a comment was known to have been made, requires tediously going back through past posts in hopes of finding it.

Despite repeated requests, you let down a lot of people because you never made a &quot;USFK Contractors Could Lose Jobs Over Visa Changes Part II&quot;.

If not for us, GI, please do it for the children.</description>

		<description>another bullet from back in December.... 
CIVILIAN PERSONNEL ADVISORY CENTER (CPAC) 
 
Issue  1:  Employment for Americans (Family Member focus group 28 Oct 08) 
Suspense Date:  13 Dec 08 
Family Members feel that there isn&#8217;t enough employment opportunities for Americans on the various Army Camps. 
Recommendation:    
(1) Provide more opportunities for American civilian employment. 
(2) Advertise better what American employment positions are available on all Camps. 
Response:  This issue is very timely.  The Civilian Human Resources Agency-Korea (CHRA) is a member of GEN Sharp&#039;s Operational Planning Team (OPT) working the issue of expanding family member employment opportunities and information.  The OPT encompasses all of GEN Sharp&#039;s area of responsibility to include the other armed services on the peninsula.  Below is the purpose, desired outcome and end state. 
 
PURPOSE: To review employment opportunities for family members in Korea and provide recommendations how to improve their access to employment  
 
DESIRED OUTCOME:   Implement improvements to existing employment assistance programs in USFK to meet projected increases in demand for family member employment.  Identify measures the command can take to ensure spouses are given the maximum opportunity for employment while in Korea.   
 
END STATE:  Family members have access to a robust, and synchronized USFK employment assistance program that connects them to federal, contractor and off-post employment opportunities.  Program oversight is maintained by a USFK Well-Being or Human Resources Council.   
 
We anticipate that a number improvements will come from these efforts and will help publicize them once approved for implementation. 
Status:  Active (1st Qtr FY 09) </description>

		<description>A Quick Update. 
 
John, 
 
Back on post 253 I made several statements about the curfew I had hoped you would comment on. 
 
At the very least, I had hoped also to be called &quot;ignorant&quot; or &quot;obtuse&quot; for suggesting the curfew wasn&#039;t as &quot;legal&quot; as USFK (and their minions) would have liked us to believe. 
 
Please feel free to tell me where my reasoning went wrong. </description>

		<description>If you are having problems loading this page it is because postings with a large number of comments is causing problems with earlier versions of Internet Explorer.  This thread loads fine on Firefox but I have also created a page over at the ROK Drop Forums for this issue as well: 
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://rokdrop.com/forums/forum.php?id=18&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://rokdrop.com/forums/forum.php?id=18&lt;/a&gt;  
 
You can post on this issue over there as well without any concern for the Internet Explorer issue.  I am still trying to troubleshoot this issue, but truthfully right now I am extremely busy and haven&#039;t had much time to figure it out.   
 
Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. </description>
