place. The caption states that “A 4-year-old girl stands on the dock at sunset by the USS Missouri.” The ship in the background is clearly an aircraft carrier, not the battleship Missouri. —Capt. R.G. Landrum, USN-Ret. Severna Park, Md.
[I] read with interest the article by Army CWO Fanny J. Haine [“Time- ly Teachers,” Lessons Learned, July 2011]. There is always a place for combat arms people in the service. They bring a wealth of knowledge, common sense, and experience to any job. And, I noted that the Army now has another airborne division at Fort Campbell [Ky.], the “100th,” and that the units subordinate to the platoon are now identified as “squadrons.” It truly is a dynamic and changing Army. —Col. James Smith, USA-Ret. via email
