Telephone service will not be affected. This outage is necessary for the installation of a replacement transformer and to connect new wiring to all buildings in the compound. ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL: CIVIL MILITARY OPERATIONS (CMO) BULLETIN #001: Remember, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression". We are representatives of the United States and should make every effort to present a favorable image. Keep these guidelines in mind when you go out. Dress conservatively in public. Men should wear shirts with collars, casual slacks, and socks. Avoid wearing faded or torn jeans, T - shirts, or sandals. Tank tops and shorts are never appropriate. Jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are not to be worn by men. Women should wear conservative, loose fitting clothing that covers the arms and legs. Females with long hair should wear it up; especially blonde hair which is rare in this region. The black gown (abaya), worn by many Arab women, is a good solution. The abaya is worn closed with no modifications, such as belts or necklaces. The object is to keep the female form from being visible. Adherence to these simple guidelines will help keep you safe in public and enhance our image with our host. ANTITERRORISM TIP: All personnel are reminded to be inquisitive about strangers or personnel who seem to be involved in unusual activities. This is especially true for personnel who are carrying suitcases or other containers. Also, be alert for unattended vehicles parking in unusual places or obviously left in an area where US personnel are likely to assemble, such as bus stops. And, as always, be alert for abandoned parcels or other "out of the ordinary" activity. DIARRHEA OUTBREAK: The organism identified in the recent outbreak is called SHIGELLO SONNEI. It is typically spread by inadequate hand washing. Infected individuals may continue to have Shigella in their stool for 30 days after infection. To prevent reinfection, WASH YOUR HANDS! FINANCE INFORMATION: The Air Force Accounting and Finance Center (AFAFC) is mailing a direct deposit payroll listing to all locations for each payday. To find out your paychecks amount call the Riyadh Air Base Unit Combat Support Element (CSE) at [(B-2)] ot tac phone (USCENTAF/AC) [(B-2)]
