that i like working and living in that i am Here by and that i would like to stay longer than the initial three years that i signed the reason that i am writing is because i think that the military sector sometimes forgets the civilians and they fail to keep them informed As to information that is normally provided to the such As whom to Call if you have an Mili tary police or Polisei what to do if you have a As far As i Are not required to take the head Start but yet the military get some kind of Intro Ducin to the area that they Are living in and introduction to the in the military have formations on a regular and at those formations they Are advised of upcoming and of potentially dangerous situations that exist in the the area i live in had a demonstration that supposedly All Europe knew or at least All of the military but yet i had not heard of the demonstration was supposed to be a peace but we Are All aware of How demonstrations that Start out peace fully can turn ugly in a few civilians Are always the last to know any and usually the Only Way that they find out anything is simply by they Are not included on any distribution list and it is simply taken for granted that they know that they Are supposed to take time out of their Busy work Day and read a Bulle tin Board that has never had anything on it before pertaining to civilians in order to find out that there has
