be trained to support themselves Early the notion that men Are going to take care of us is As obsolete As the buggy self Reliance and Independence Are two of the most Beautiful words in the military policeman comments on Law enforcement As a military policeman i take great Pride in trying to provide the Best Quality in Law enforcement that i but today the military police Are a dying when i came into the my corps in i was taught How to provide police support to the military i was instructed on How to be a today the Mili tary police is falling apart at the the maps Arent instructed the Way they used to be and when they arrive at their new duty they dont even know the basics in Law what Are the higher ups doing to the military police the army military police Are falling and its no ones fault but the Gener Al who sits behind his desk and because he gets a whim he decides to change what the maps Are instructed the military police now Are receiving More combat support training and less Law enforcement but when that my graduates from my school he is put out on the Street to provide Law enforcement to the military How can you ask an my who is not properly trained to protect you and provide valuable police service what is even worse is that they Are replacing us with they Are going to put civilians on the military installations to replace us because it would save the government Money or at least they say it i would like to know who thought that one a civilian will Start out at a gs7 or gs8 and will go up from but he will Only put in his 40 hours a week and 20 hours overtime per month their overtime is limited by believe whoever you Are who thought this plan these so called Money savers wont put up with All the Petty stuff that we go the civilians that they Are going to re place us with wont have near the police training that we it really scares me to think about someone out there on Seatbelt violations anger Mother having mentally written this letter Many i am finally disgusted enough to put it to i live in Pitburg while i feel very fortunate to be living in such an and attractive the Bla Tant disregard of the childrens Seatbelt Law and at nearby Span Dahlem up sets me i have seen preschoolers hanging out of car jumping up and Down on the Back hanging Between the front bucket and lying Down in the Back window space All of this while the car is i have seen babies held on the in the front seat a Seatbelt around both mom and in the front seat a girl standing next to her while the latter was driving their and an sitting in the car but not strapped his parents were All of this while the car was mov i knew i had to write this letter when i saw a woman driving a Van while holding an infant on her the baby was drink ing a Ive heard All the excuses he Doest like the car so i cant keep him in in Only going to the Exchange ill drive and we cant afford a fancy so i rigged this in not talking about people driving with one Bolt missing from their License or the person who uses too much bleach at the what i far too is parents who Are either too naive or cocky to properly restrain their precious thus ensuring their i feel sorry for these Why Doest she record the License number and report these people you in usually driving and do not wish to cause an Accident while searching for a i have mentioned my concern to various Security yet these violators Are still being allowed to drive onto the one Reader has suggested that these parents do not love their i doubt most Are probably just extremely it takes time and Effort to make sure the kids Are Safe and but Arent they Worth it i dont claim to be a perfect but my Twoy Earold has Ridden in her approved car seat since we take it on for use on and she likes her own special an and Lonnie Anderson have shown us repeatedly what can happen to an unrestrained child in an you May drive but the other Guy Doest always and what about having to hit the for whatever reason if you Stop and your child gets How will you say youre sorry please think about it boiler Pitburg Germany lets turn those radios Down because its a warm sunny saturday id love to open my but i dare a fellow housing resident has set car or tape speakers at the highest volume so that even with every window and door i am still bombarded with pop Rock and country Western i enjoy All types of music but not when in trying to write and study As is the Case this the playing of Rock and country music at excessive volumes is not uncommon today in most i wonder if this phenomenon stems from some psychological or sociological need of our younger generations today when i was growing up in the 60s i dont remember being blasted out of my the local swimming by some inconsiderate individual who insisted on forcing everyone within a three Block radius to listen to musical not everyone enjoys Rock and country music i ask these Young people what if i played my classical tape at a similar vol ume in front of your quarters windows and you were either watching television in enjoying your peaceful Home come on folks lets respect each others right to peace and quiet think before you touch that please and location withheld whats the Deal with duds whats All this Racket i keep hearing about duds Over there in Germany i for think that this is a serious problem and something should be done about it immedi from what Ive been these duds can be very and Many people Are injured by them each that in in Light of the fact that the War ended so Many years one would think that these duds would have been cleared away by if we want to prevent further especially to our innocent something ought to be done right away about the remaining duds in the european wait a did you say Dodds of never Kennedy Densa Turkey patrol who is supposed to represent and up hold the Law Ana they dont even know i can at least say that there Are enough of us old timers left who were instructed How to be a policeman to be Able to teach the Young maps How to do the Job and do it right and care about what they Are i dont know about but i Hope that at least some of the military Community would like to have the police service done by maps instead of at least a Mili tary policeman is in the service and can understand what the service member and service family is going i would much rather be policed by some one who understands and cares instead of a civilian who is just interested in a i didst stay in the military police for six years just for a i could have taken my College and my police training and experience and i could have worked for a department where i would be getting three times As much Money than i am i stayed because 1 cared and i enjoyed pro Viding police service to the military comm so if you want to hire civilians you May just As Well say goodbye to the military police because there wont be any maps they will All get out and work for the Var ious police just think of All the Money the police departments will if you dont want civilians on a military installation telling you what to then i ask the service members and their families to put pressure on the higher ups and con Gress to Stop what is going pressure them to put the Quality Law enforcement training Back into the system and provide the military police with better equipment and above dont hire civilians to do the Job that the military police Are already trained to Edward Mcdonald Germany european edition Usa editor in chief us Proctor Deputy editor in chief managing editor Blackwell Mcdermott production manager circulation
