FAIRMONT - Harleigh Marsh was tough enough to scrape ice from the frozen deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in the North Atlantic. Smart enough to strip and rebuild a cockpit. Responsible enough to maintain survival gear for pilots.

EDINBURGH, Ind. - Indiana's two military training bases are seeing an increased role for civilians even as the U.S. ends major combat operations in Iraq.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- Barbara Westgate has a blurry memory of filling out paperwork, standing in front of the American flag and taking an oath when she became an Air Force civil service employee 33 years ago.
Now executive director of the Air Force Materiel Command, Westgate said the experience hasn't changed much for new Air Force civilians, unlike the formalized training their military counterparts take.

[...] several ARs and FMs need to be revised to clarify the difference between corrective training and punishment. 10 Although FM 7-22-7 discourages humiliating treatment by reference to the unofficial 1909 manual, this more recent and fully official Army publication does not explicitly state that NCOs lack the authority to punish Soldiers.\n In essence, we were instructed to punish civilians, against whom we had no evidence of wrongdoing, for having lived in a neighborhood in which insurgents were purported to have staged missions.
