Comments:
To require civilian employees to be placed in a position of being relocated to another country to work, against their will, would be detrimental to the Army and it's employees. Working for the Army to support out mission is a privilege and an honor but most of us can't afford to have to leave our families and possibly be forced to work in a hostile environment. Many of these people have already proudly served our country and do not feel it would be appropriate for them to be forced to leave their current jobs. If our mission requires us to leave the U.S. maybe we should consider increasing our military workforce. I'm afraid in the future the standards of the workforce will decrease due the requirements of being forced to work in hostile environment, etc. You will force a lot of people to take early retirement, losing a lot of expertise. Young people with families will not even consider a career as a government employee. That is, in my opinion, a weak area now. We don't have enough young adults that want to grow and maintain their careers here at Robins. The government is mearly a stepping-stone to other employment opportunities. We all understand the importance of our mission and working at Fort Bragg is such an honor, please don't force us to change our lifestyle. Thank you.
