Town hall addresses rules of road:
From the Stars & Stripes, Pacific edition, 27 February 2009:

CAMP CASEY, South Korea � Stop at stop signs. Use turn signals when turning. Park in parking spaces.
This seemingly simplistic advice consumed the first half of a work force town hall meeting Wednesday for employees of U.S. Army garrisons Casey and Red Cloud.
Lt. Col. Hans Hunt, 2nd Infantry Division provost marshal, said a recent spike in traffic violations pointed to a need to educate many of the work force�s drivers about what�s expected on the roads on post in the Camp Casey and Red Cloud area.
"A year ago we were handing out one ticket a day," Hunt said. "Now we�re handing out about 10 a day."
Most of the tickets go to Korean employees.
Hunt said he�s received requests from the U.S. Forces Korea Korean Employees Union to explain the rules on post because union members didn�t understand why they were receiving tickets. |
