From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Pentagon restored normal duty tours for U.S. troops stationed in Panama. It also encouraged military families to begin returning there as stability is restored after last month’s invasion. Beginning June 1, the standard tour of duty will be 36 months for personnel with families and 24 months for single personnel. The tours were shortened during unrest last November, when many dependents returned to the United States.
