HOW CAN YOU TELL IF A GUY HAS OD'D? For a while, an overdose and a nod look the same The head droops. The eyes close. The body goes limp. But when a person ODs, his pulse will slow down, he will stop breathing, and his skin color will chance. This is how to check for an overdose. Breathing: a man ex hales through his nostrils. Hold something below his nostrils to see if air is coming out- A piece of paper, a fcalher, or a finger will do. A piece of glass or a mirror will could up if he's still exhaling. Also (he chest will rise and fall if breathing is regular. Pulse: you can feel someone's pulse if you hold your index and middle fingers over the vein where the hand joins the wrist. Check his heartbeat. You should get about 90 beats a minute. Skin Color: white dudes will turn green, while black dudes and dark brown brothers will get grej OVERDOSE HOW TO FIGHT AN OVERDOSE 1. Keep your partner breathing. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is the only way. Even if your friend has stopped breathing, you can breathe for him as long as eight hours. Learn this technique well. First, lay him on his back, and clear any food or gum out of his throat. If his tongue has gotten stuck in his throat just move it out of the way. Second, tilt the head back by lifting under his neck and pushing down on his forehead. Third, pinch the nose closed as you take a breath. Fourth, breathe deeply and slowly into his mouth. Fifth, turn your head and watch for his chest to fall as a sign tha: your breath is getting into his lungs. 2- Keep your partner awake. Walking helps. So does slapping his face. A cold shower helps, too. If he's at all conscious, make him angry. A pissed-off human doesn't want to die. 3- Get your partner to a medic as soon as you can. They may have breathing equipment and/or certain drugs which cancel out the heroin's effect. These are Nalline, Lorfan, and Dopram. HOW CAN TELL IF HE'S MADE IT? If you can get him awake and breathing normally, you've made it. Be sure to stay with him for several hours more, just to be sure. This is because your friend may go into withdrawal- Even (hough with drawal is hell for the user, it means he's going to live. WHAT NOT TO DO 1. Don't try to shoot him with any weird shit like milk or salt water. This is very dangerous, and is no more effective than a slap in the face. 2. Don't force him to drink anything. An unconscious person could choke and suffocate on liquids. But if he can hold a cup firmly in his hands, he's able to drink something warm. Reprinted 3- Don't panic. Good information and a level head can save a from Bulkhead brother's life.

It's oalled Armed Forces Day. Starting with this year .•38 here at the G.I. Center will also be celebrating on May 19th with a party at Golden Showers Parle. The dif ference.is that we will be celebrating Armed Faroes Day. At the party.there will be music,skits and rap. After- *ards there will be a gathering at the new G.I. Center at 595-B Riaai AVe. It's really easy to gat to. The reason for the party is to express our condemnation of the Viet War escalation. We feel that the active and direct support which Subic Bay Naval Base affords in this war is contrary to the Indochinese,Filipino and American people's. •We strongly condemn the ComUSNNav Phil and its wil ling followers for their active participation in being the aggreeors against the Vietnamese people. This aid is wrong as it contributes the racial and genootdal war being prac tice by the leaders of Amerika and takes away t^s freedom of t^ose people in Vietnam who want only to govern thetc- selvee. We demand that the Base cease its support of ships on the line in the Tonkin Gulf and withdraw Det. Cubi Pt. from Vietnam and cease its support of the Mobile Missis Maintenance Unit. We further demand that the Base be * closed down and all personnel be sent back to the states. We further demand that following the closure of the baee that it be turned over to the Filipino people. some MAm <*At£ ftiaal HEW GI CENTf* mMaOhfSTElN'S Once upon a time around 1845 there lived in a little village a brilliant but power—hungry doctor.

The story comest to an end on a cark night, when the people who had so long been oppressed by the doctor and his monster, revolted and liberated themselves. After the doc and his monster were destroyed, peace v*as restored.

The Major prchlem is that the braes tries to keep these tools hidden frota the enlisted pen. The legal weapons are compiciats - under Article 138 of the U.C.M.J.,- to congress and through the Inspector General system. Article 138 is the boats "Any member of the Armed Forces who believes himself wronged by his Commanding Office^, end vho, upon d?:o appli cation to that Commanding Officer> is refused redress, may complain to any superior eommissicned officer, who will for ward the ooaplai&t to the officor exercising general court- martial jurisdiction ovor the officer egcinst wheas ttwie p.ad.e.

' Here's hew to exercise your rights under Article 133* 1. When you have a grievance - not getting a pass or leave, racial, sexual, or religious discrimination, being .beaten ©r' harassed,iillegal extra duties, seizure of proper ty,revocation of privileges - write a letter to your CO ex- . plaining the problem and asking for his help. Your letter Pago 8 , ARTICLE 138 - Cont. Puge 9 ••--Hsiib r ARTICLE 138 - prom page 8 page 9 should contain tLc statement, "This is a request for redress of grievances- pursuant to Article 138 of the " . .' . U.C.M.Jb." Your original problem does not have to be the . : fault of your C.O.j as long as it is something hs has pow er to help you with* Once you request his help, b;e has an obligation to do something about it.. . 2c If you don't get satiefaotlpx within a reasonable ttxe (two weeks at vest), flit a cbcpl&int againut your CO.

Pile the complaint with any offloers superior in rank to your CO. 3. Send copies of your eeepisjukt to the Seoretary of the Rhwy, your Senators and your Cengreeswosisnej As the law says, tho ooeplaint *ust be trveettgated snd the res,ilts sent to tho'Secretary of the »aty. They faust beboee part of your C.O.'s Berejaaent record. That's why they get results - your CO. uay not car© about j JU, but La does oars about his career. Less effective than an Article 133 complaint, but fine for dealing with routine problees such as late pay is the Inspector- general system* The IG has an office on each base and complaints can b?, made there at any time or at the re-^iar IG inspections. It's best to make the complaint in writing, end if you get no quick results, send a copy to your congressmen. Remembsr that the people inthe IG office are generally carser men and not likely to help you cor rect abuses of military authority. If your oomplaint is of that nature, try an Article 138 complaint. Congress has enacted a law making it a crime to inter fere with a servicemen attempting to communicate with a congressman.

His job, it seema, was to get a story about the present bombings in Sorts. Vietnam and Caos. He got more than ho bargained fcr on this trip., -hile ho was tatting a tour ef the snip ^ith his escorts, two officers, sevetalodf our brothers approached him, asking him if he would like to rap with the "resistance". Not only was the reporter surprised but the officers with ftim did'nt know which way to t^rnI .i (Xh.ey know they were in hot water - it was their job tetfceep the reporter out ©f con tact with just such people as us.) ihe reporter, seeing a good story, said he would meet us on the fantail of the ship at 11:00 A.M. the next day. That night we rounded up other brothers who were also against the Vietnam War and informed them what was coming down the next day. Let me say first, that it isn't easy to assemble a large group if people aboard this ship,unless it's set up by lifers. Reasons for htis aret Many of our brothers work shifts, many of the jobs are with no breaks, etc. At 11x00A.M. on the 4th of January, about 100 brothers were on the fan-tail waiting to see the New York i'imes reporter. Several brothers wore head-bands (made out of a ' handy American flag), others wore "t" shirts with peace sym bols and/or 8.0.S. P.O.W. signs written on them. By 11:15 no reporter had shown. However, we did have more than our share of ship pigs, lifers and other assorted animals. Knowing full well what was coming off, they proceeded to buat 5 brothers whp had on some of the more decorative clothes, fhis act only brought us more "together", than ever before. , • We knew we would have to wait for avhilw, so we passed "he time Singing anti-war songs. This really blew the lifer • >• *, a* Page 15 minds! Everything was together, everyone sensed it. It 12:00 the reporter and his photographer finally showdd. **y the way, two of the ships photographers were taking picture of all of us brothers who dared to participate in this gathering. No doubt, for future action they plan to take against us. »e rapped about many things, the war in Nam: our mission in it, and our being here helping in it. Also discussed was our. bombings on Christmas day, when there was supposed to be a truce going on. Haircut hassles,freedom of speech, and living conditions were also discussed. The reporter seemed very interested. He said he had been re ceiving a "snow job" ever since he had set foot on the. Coral Sea. After and hour he had to leave. We thanked him and asked him to tell his fellow correspondents about his experience. He said he would. Today on the 5th many of the brothers who attended the rap session the day before are already getting hassled by the ships pigs.

Weil, I'm sorry to say that they not going to have that powsr to thesselvsa for very longer, because the American people s.re waking up to fact that they still aavo taese5;oer"lain unalienable ite", and Tricky Dicky or the rest of his henchmen can- abuse that power anymore.

To the Congress of the United States: We, the people of the Armed Forces of the United States serving in the Pacific, strongly condemn the unjustified and criminal escalation of the American air attacks in Indochina, The Vietnamese people are fighting to liberate their nation from the control of foreign domination and to establish their own national democratic government. It is wrong for the U.S. to violate the national sovereignty of the Viet namese people. We demand an end to Mr. Nixon's war of aggression. We will no longer be deceived by promises of troop withdrawals when: we daily witness an unprecedented build-up of Navy and Air Force „ctivity in Indochina. We heartily believe that all POW's will be freed and peace restored only when U.S. withdraws all military forces from Indochina. NAME ACTIVITY 1. 2. 3. 4. PLEASE RETURN THIS PETITION,SIGNED, TO THE NEW fiiii CENTER. 595B Ri&AL. PROGRAM OF THE GI MOVfntNlT-PHILIPPINES ii.1. Movememts in opposition to the U.S. Armed Forces have risen whenever and wherever U.S. troops have been engaged in unjust wars of economic and. political expansion, Today, the rapidly growing G.I. Move- - ment is part of a broad mass mevement against the war and in response to the deteriorating conditions within the U.S. A movement which includes workers,Blacks, Chicanos, Indians,Asifins,women and students. It is a move ment with chapters at almost every strategic base in the U.S. and Asfa, including Iwakuni,Misawa,Yokoda,Yokuska,Okinawa and in thD Philippines,Clark and Subic. Here at the Subic-Cubi Chapter the- G.I. Movement was born on Nov. 7 1971 around the Barbara Dane and F.T.A. shows. Since those first actions which brought many G.I.'S into the movement we have? 1) conducted a petition campaign against the brutality of the MAA's, resulting in some reform by the .Provost uartial's Office,2) publisi.ed 3 issues of the G.I. movement paper,SEASICK, 3) held a S.O-S. Welcome Party for the CORAL SEA Ay established and operate a G.I. ,Center with rapping,counselling, a place to.have meetings and show films, 5) are now cooperating with the Filipino people to expose the use of Subic Naval Complex as a staging area for the war, which is against the U.S.-R,P. Military Bases agreements, 6) and are now circulating a petition against U.S. aggression in Indochina. we have been asked many times, 'just what are the goals and purposes of the Or.I. l-ioveuient? ' This is an important question;, and to clarify our goals and lay out a strategy the Subic-Cubi Chapter and the Clark A.P.B. Chapter held a joint meeting to draw up a program. This is the first draft of the Program for the G.I, Movement of the Philippines. 1) jrfc demand an end to U.S. economic .political, social and particularl.% military domination in the world. . , ...... me,^ a,iivA DIIUH xxiiusj o) are now cooperating with the Filipino people to expose the use of Subic Naval Complex as a staging area for the war, which is against the U.S.-R,P.

' This is an important question;, and to clarify our goals and lay out a strategy the Subic-Cubi Chapter and the Clark A.P.B. Chapter held a joint meeting to draw up a program. This is the first draft of the Program for the G.I, Movement of the Philippines. 1) Wd demand an end to U.S. economic,political,social and particularly military domination in the world. . , Many times over the last. 100 years th U.S., corporations have intervened in other countries affairs; in Indochina,the Philippines, Cuba,Puerto Rico,Hawaii, Guatemala, the Congo, the Domonican Republic rtnd other nations and territories, siezing control of the rich mineral resourbes and growing markets. In order to protect these economic interest's the U.S. Govt, has exercised political ,social and military control over these countries., Ve want all troops, su >plies,equipment and advisors out of Indochina and the Philippines, 2) We aemand full democratic rights for the people serving in the U»S. iirmed Forces. The lower ranking enlisted men and women serving in the .jtrmed Porces are subject to bullshit harrassraent and unjust punishment from ranking officers and stupid lifers. Though supposedly serving to defend a constitution which guarantees certain rights, in practice true democratic rights are denied by the whims and prejudices of' these officers and lifers who exercise virtual life and de«,th control over the lower ranking working people of the military. 3) We demand that military forced be used to serve the interests of itm eric an working people and not the monopolist corporations and thei'r corrupt politicians. Going into other countries such as V-* etnam,plus scabbing on workers strikes like the 1970 Post Office Strike, breaking up demonstrations and pickets of youth an. students like the Jackson State and Kent State murders serves only the interests of big corporations trying to isaintain their wealth and power. we aemand that the U.S.- military truly serve the interests of the mass majority of the American people , the working people, Chicanos,Slacks,Indians,Asians and women. These are the people who day in and day out work to produce and support the groat- wealth of the U.S. which is being ripped off by the big business men. 4) Ve will educate ourselves to struggle against racism and discri mination against women. The philosophies of racism and male supremacy only serves to keep the Jtmerican people divided from each other and under the control of monopoly corporations. These ideas of false superiority keep us fighting against each other instead of uniting to fight for the liberation of the whole jtiaerican people. Ve will struggle for the complete liberation and equality of all oppressed minor ities and women. 5) We demand an end to suppression of groups and individuals who 3trUjs,,liiiK for the creation of a more .just and democratic suciePy. •iJ'ltx-.-L. —J_IL.

Worlds of apathy fostered by ideas of indifference or caught up in worlds of dope. People have to re alize the hassles will not stop until we all unite as one. The brass manipulate people to drop dimes on our brothers. They' have seperated blacks and whites by a wall of mistrust and misunder standings. $6 use dope to escape our everyday problems which keep us separated and passive a," e . in many ways. We should take a closer look at our relations with each other and. how we live. Why- is it .that feelings of hostility prevail among us? it is not a good thing when so many people work together and live together, yet cannot get along together, how much do we really control our lives? In such isolated straits we can be easily intimidated and manipulated. Come on brothers, it. is time for us to show some strength, to assert our independanee3 to fight for our freedom.

July 4th in tthe States cele brates "independence day" a day marking the American Revolu tion against the tyrant British Colonists who had stationed ' British troops, robbed American resources, and were attempting to keep down"the development of competitive industry in their colony. Here in the Philippines, July 4th marks the date which was originally delegated Philippine Independence by the American Congress who was sxippo3edly "granting independence" to the Filipino people after the complete colonization of the Philippines by the United"States for44 years (excepting the period of the Japanese occupation). Finally the Philippine Independence'Day was changed to June 4th in a token patriotic gesture, and July 4th was now relegated the position of Fil- , Am Friendship Day. • "So why are.these people WHY. »p twfi." demonstrating anyway, are they against AnrericansV' you Cfeie»ft«ri.

The fact is, that was pretty much the history of the Philippines. When the Spanish colonists were losing their grip on.the Philippines and the Filipino workers and peasants had taken up arms and were under control over the whole country except Manila, the U.S. declared war on Spain'and decided to save the Philippines. When they say save the Philippines, what they meant was save it for U.S." big business. So in floated the fleet of Admiral. Dewey announcing that'would liberate the Philippines. As Spain was totally outclassed in the whole thing, they were ready to give up but didn't want to lose to the Philippine guerilla army. So, they made a deal with Dew ey to stage a mock battle in the Manila Bay at which point the Spanish would surrender to the U.S. and receive ^wenty million dollars payment for the islands. To the Filipino people, the U.S. offered its "benevolent assimilation" policy which could | be-more scientifically called a policy of genocide that rivals Vietnam. ..

Up until World War Two the U.S. held the Philippines as" a dir ect colony despite many uprisings and revolts against,- them. These were brutally suppressed and acts such as the Flag Law forbade the flying of the Philippine flag in order to crush national and pat riotic sentiments. When the Japanese invaded, General baeArthur withdrew to safer ground as Filipino guerillas once again fought on their own against the.Japanese.

ENLISTED FEN'S : LE •F t AttsuiK 11 SEASICK pA«t ti msm NEWS FROM THf DENVER According to the President of the United. States we have come to the point of "rapid de-escalation" of the war in South-east Asia, '!Land forces are being cut to a minimum!". Of course, We can not desert our South Vietnamese brothers to a merciless on slaught by the Cctnim.mi.st North. The American' people are asked; to kindly overlook the temporary "rapid ESCALATION" of air and sea forces. Trust the U.S., government to serve you best, after all, billions tare spent each year in the greatest propaganda ma-* chine in the world - just for .you! I have spent the greater part of the -last four months, on an amphibious type ship stationed off North Vietnam and have become a first-hand witness to one of the greatest military hoaxes of the South-east Asian war to date. Thanks to the miracles of mod ern, day science We have been able to build bombs which can total ly discriminate between "the enemy" and the local farmer and worker. A bomb which ingeniously decides the difference between enemy bases and peaceful villages, factories and towns...or so we are let to believe. a - ••'. » The obvious immorality and injustices of this war cannot be argued for there is nothing in this war that can be justified yet there are some other facts which lie below the surface and make this vrar even a greater horror than it seems. The severity of method with which to meet certain objectives is often overlooked. It's very well for the American people to be able to say the.Army and Marines are pulling out. No more fighting in swamps and jun gles, especially since they were basically ineffective against guerrilla warfare and the virtual impossibility, to discriminate between the coiia»on citizen and the soldier enemy. The land forces are being pulled out and the remainer of the war has been left to be decided by what can only be called "the discriminating bomb." But as I watched the constant shelling of the beaches and coastal towns from my position in the Gulf and read the reports coming in from all our other ships and activities, I began to won der exactly what was happening...how were our ships able to ac curately bit. ooly those reported sites of enemy activity from several miles off the beach and usually outside of. any kind of WHKHK&tWB pixesw SEASICK K«.bMi7 la—i iiMiMiiajM lignum •jnnwii'i i i»' iiiraawawaeaa*** visual range.

Certainly it could be done bi^P'guie,ii:ce :.yoterris*but,h to spare such expensive guidance systems is rarely done*. So how is it being done? The only answer is that it isn't. The U.S. is relying totally on this method to wage the war. The South would be crushed if not. for US fire power. Our methods of mass geno cide only.now more strongly continue against all the people of Vietnam in support of the illigitamate government of the -south. Shortly I will be returning to the U.S. but hardly can I re turn proudly. I have been dishonestly used by a government I no longer trust. How can a dishonest government serve the people to their best interests. We, the American people, have been told that we fight in the interest'of'freedom for the people of Viet nam yet we leave thousands homeless, wounded and dead. What freedom is there.in being without a home or withobT food? Wha.t freedom is there from the suffering of the loss of family and friends? Are these the prices they must pay. for this type of freedom? And what are the prices Americans must pay for freedom? A look the other way from the crimes of our government and big- businessmen'? Deaf ears and sightless eyes for our foreign broth ers and sisters and even for our brothers and sisters in the U.S. We must come together in a common effort against those who seek to decieve us and keep us in the cage-of apathy toward one anoth er. Work against this unjust war. Work agairist the lies that those who rule choose to serve.
