The White Falcon
June 27, 1980
It is the policy within DOD com-
ponents to provide passenger bus
transportation services for official
use when such services are essential
to effective accomplishment of the
installation or activity mission,
and also where circumstances require
support of morale and welfare of
both military and civilian person-
nel.
Here on the NATO Base there is a
need for regular and timely bus ser-
vice—which we have in Base Buses
One and Two and others. This priv-
ilege, provided by the commanding
officer, enables us to ride to shop-
ping areas, recreational areas and
sites and places of work. But the
privilege of riding the buses is
being abused by a few persons who
could, if current trends continue,
jeopardize that privilege for all of
us.
The problem is vandalism in the
form of ripped seat covers, broken
windows, broken seat frames, magic
marker writings on seats and using
the seats as foot rests. According
to CW02 Tom Barba, the outgoii^
Transportation Officer, most of
vandalism is occurring on Base Bl
One.
"In the last two months we have
repaired 25 seats, most of which
came from Base Bus One," Barba said.
