two viewpoints my husband is an e6 in the we Are recent arrivals at a Small army detachment at Hahn this is our second tour in we had approved concurrent travel and upon one of our first stops was the housing we had enjoyed living on the Economy on our previous tour in the Heidel Berg Community and wanted to do so we were at the sys or rather Lack of a system Here at the housing referral we found a Large table that had five binders on it labelled 4 or 5 upon we were told that the thing to do was look through the apartment listings and if you found one that you wanted to take out the take it to the receptionist and she would give you a promissory this note gave you three Days to go see the talk to the landlord and if you wanted there was a place for the landlord to housing referral would then pre pare the the clerks at housing referral placed new listings in the books throughout the As they often there would be crowds gathered around the table waiting for a new listing and hoping to be the first to grab the several times i saw these poor clerks almost get knocked Over As people rushed to grab the listing since everything was done on first served my husband and i were very after Only three Days we found a House to we expected that someone from housing would make an appointment to see the House and take us there to act As an inter Preter and negotiator not we found that housing referral will Only Call the landlord and make an at this meant a Large taxis were nonexistent and buses few and far we ended up renting a car and driving to see our landlord several first to get the promissory note Sec Ond to get the contract signed the next Day and third to get a condition report we were we saw married service couples who were expected to be at their duty site and unable to wait around at housing some had been Here for Over two months and were still in in on the other the system worked they had a housing similar to the government quarters when your name came up and an apartment was someone from housing referral took you to see the landlord was condition con were taken care of in the space of one Why Doest Hahn have something Sim Ilar i can understand that staffing and transportation might make it impossible for each individual to be taken out this system simply int i saw e4s get a place within a week while an e8 who had been Here a month was still waiting
