European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 17, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday september 17, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear  Landers you Are glad your parents did t miss the boat Well i fee the same Way about my grandpa rents. But let s not go overboard with the Flag waving. For Many years America has been scooping up the wretched refuse of every Shore. The oppressed and Downtrodden who came Here have contributed to the Yankee Dollar but they also have profiled from it. Your senti mental Hooray for America attitude is out dated Ann. Here Are the figures in the Miami Ajea for 1984. We had 425 murders 41,584 burglaries 12,519 robberies and 17,572 motor vehicle thefts. We arc known As the gun capital and murder capital of the world. Some of this action can be attributed to Castro s dumping but the truth is that our Borders Are without Protection because the . Government no longer has an efficient immigration program. In other cities where the immigration Rale is High there also is a High ratio of crime. Three fourths of the world s people Are under political oppression and they All want to come Here. The Joys of Freedom sound Noble but it has become a dangerous Doc Trine and is grossly unfair to american workers. Surely you Don t think we can continue to like in the entire world do you realistic in Florida dear realistic of course we can t take in the entire world but we can Lake in Many More people and it should. According to is. News & world report illegal aliens fuel the Economy and do not deprive americans of jobs. The use of mexican workers in California for example his led to higher profits for business and lower prices to Consumers. One of the problems is thai the glut seems to be in new York California and Florida. When i Fly Over Montana Wyoming Oregon Washington Arkan Sas Tennessee and Kentucky and see countless Miles of uninhabited land i won Der about this. Yov Are right when you say our govern ment needs a More efficient immigration program. Why did we let Castro Jet away with sending us boatloads of mental patients and criminals i could never figure it out. Any answer out there dear Ann Landers i m writing about Jogger in the  your advice could have been a lot better. You arc right when you say there s a Law against indecent exposure but there is also a Law against peeping Toms. That in Friendly woman obviously a troublemaker has no right to stare Between the Bush is at 1 . Clearwater Fla.

She should t  but we All know it la human nature to look and people win took As Long As toy Giblak they Are Totaj to see something. He Mem wham w or. Full fare in t required for full reimbursement 1 am writing about something i am sure has happened to other dependent husbands and wives. Why docs the army Tell dependents if they Purchase their own plane tickets they must buy full fare tickets but the army does t have to reimburse the full amount spent on the ticket i received my orders on dec. 17, 1984, from fort Campbell by. My orders authorized me to Fly from Portland ore., to Frankfurt Germany. My availability Date was As soon As Iran Poulalion could be arranged. On dec. 17 i called inc port Call Sec Tion at fort Campbell to find out when 1 could Fly to Germany. I was told Uherc were no availability flights until after Christmas. I was told i could buy my own plane ticket but it had to be a full fare coach ticket. To be with my husband for Christmas i bought my plane ticket. I bought a full fare coach ticket As i was told to do and it Cost $1,068 from Portland to Frankfurt. When my Hus band turned the plane ticket into finance the army Only reimbursed $587. This really bothers me because through aces my husband could live purchased my ticket for $300 from san Francisco to Frankfurt. I could have flown from Portland to san Francisco for $75. If we had gone this route we would have Only spent $375. If the army s emphasis in the 1980s is to stress solid family relationships Why do they make it a financial hardship for families to be together name withheld Miessau Germany editor s note a spokesman from the office of the Deputy chief of staff resource management he Usa eur replies we regret you received incorrect in formation about reimbursement for air line tickets purchased for Trucl to Ger Many. No requirement exists for family members authorized travel Al govern ment expense to Purchase full fare tickets As condition for reimbursement. A suggested in your letter and since i fes Cuhl that govern reimbursement for such travel the following information is provided to prompt recurrence to future travellers in the same situation. Hitchhikers told to take a hike this is in response to name withheld who wrote lamenting the fact that other soldiers passed him by in their Pii Vatcky owned vehicles without offering him a lift. I used to Stop and offer rides to flow soldiers on foot and still do on a much More limited basis. Frankly i got a Little tired of Clearing up cigarette ashes Butts gum wrappers etc., after each time i played Good Samaritan. Look at it this Way i make a $230 monthly car payment. I pay in the neigh boyhood of $600 per annul for insurance. Add to this the Cost of fuel maintenance and Upkeep and you re talking about an investment of thousands of dollars a year. I am More than Happy to spend those Bucks for the Comfort and Well being of my family. I am net willing to spend that amount to provide transportation for freeloaders who contribute nothing toward my investment and who arc so deeply in debt thai they cannot provide a car for themselves. I would venture to guess that the writer has incurred a portion of his debts by in vesting in a stereo system of some value. Well buddy you set your priorities rot me so the next time you re humping  bags in response to an Alert give a i tic thought to of Cal responsibility and Don t condemn other who May feel that they Don t owe you a free ride. They Don t. Staff sgt. Kenneth h. Muise Lanau Germany in response to the writer who wondered Why he was never picked up for a ride you hit it right on the nose in your own letter. Wearing bus docs not a Soldier make in this country. With All that has gone on in the past few years surely you can understand Why people arc so reluctant to pick up hitchhikers. It s Loo bad for you that you have to walk. Bui i d rather be Safe than sorry. Priscilla Donerly Raim Tein a Germany personnel file policy explained after being employed in Germany for More than three years i want to make sure thai when i go Back to the Stales 1 have All the proper paperwork on hand to apply for Federal service where we Are stationed. According to a civilian personnel office spokesman last year at the Federal women s week seminars there is a packet that should be Given out to individuals returning to the states. Yesterday i went to the co and inquired about this packet and was told that there was no such thing. So the question Wai asked Aslo what paperwork was needed out of my personnel file to apply for a position in the state. Again no information was Given. The Only information Given was a Sheet of a paper with the address of employment office in the area that i was moving to. First of All 1 would like to know exactly what paperwork is needed out my personnel file to apply for a Federal position in the states. Secondly i think it would be a great help if we carry our personnel file with us to our next station. All information would be Handy. We Are allowed to carry our medical records Why not personnel records a be food Karen lantern editor s note Carolyn while personnel staffing specialist.

Official performance appraisal most recent Blank sf-17u Are available in civilian personnel offices and should have an Origi Nal denature and Date when applying for employment. The sf-75 and sf-50 should be prepared by and obtained from the last overseas civilian personnel office that sen  the individual. The information of the sf-75 provides the civilian personnel office in the United slates with the Dale needed to effect employment when a position offer is made.
