    Are you in a position to comment about published reports that DOD
    wants the 76th Division to go away and the politicians are fighting
    it?

33.3RUMOR CONTROL = 1LANDO::DENNINGWed Nov 29 1989 18:0631
    
    
    
    
    
    The following is just what I have heard from others. I have not seen
    anything in writing.
    
    
    $ SET RUMOR_CONTROL/ENABLE
    
    I have had some conversations with many people on this including the
    CG. WE talked for about an hour on this.
    
    Somebody, I don't know who, wants to combine the 76th Div and the 78th
    Div due to the low qualified strength of Drill Sergeants in both
    Divisions. What would happen is that some battalions in both the 76th
    and th 78th would become companies. The 76th Div HQs would disappear
    probably along with the 76th MTC. The 76th Div Drill Sergeant School
    would become part of the 78th's school. No biggy here I am already
    assign the the 76th Divisions Fort Dix annex anyway.
    
    People I have talked think this will not happen in the near future.
    I really don't care one way or the other. If it did happen it would mean
    many reductions in E-8, E-9 and officer slots. But the bottom line is
    if your are E-5 thru E-7 and Drill Sergeant (X) qualified you will have
    a job.
    
    That's all I know
