European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 1, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday february 1, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11 Arm Landers dear Ann Landers i just read an Art Cle in the newspaper that upset me terribly. A Mother left he three children Ages 4. 2, and 2 months alone in the car on the Side or the High Way when she ragout of Gas. The woman walked to a Gas station almost Amile Down the  she returned of "if03T " � when she discovered that her children were gone. Inti h5d.a Happy Ding because luckily a Friend happened to recognize the car. She stopped and took the children Home with her. I shudder when i think of what might have happened to those kids. Someone could have abducted them. The car could s15 cup by b p""1" truck the children could have wandered out onto the Highway and been killed. I Hope All parents who read this will heed ii lesson. _ Little Roc dear Rock i am horrified to think that a woman would leave three Small children in a car alone and the baby Only 2 months old the sensible procedure would Hare been to raise the Hood of the car signalling car trouble and try to hag Down some help. Never but never should children be left alone in the car either on the Highway or a City  Ann Landers my husband and i have worked hard to acquire the things we have. Instead of spending Money in restaurants and cock Tail lounges we enjoy relaxing at Home. We have quite a lot invested in stereo equipment video to Etc. People think we arc affluent but such is not the Case. We ves imply decided to put what we have into radios to and a stereo system that consists of two tape decks two receivers two equalizers two turntables and  we own so much equipment friends and acquaintances often ask tomorrow something or another.

It might also help if you replaced some of that Macaroni you Bare Teli Tuting for a Backbone. Learn to say no. T is one of the most eff cite words in the English  Ann Landers. I would like to comment on the letter signed Joe s  to lady we complained about her husband. He makes a Good living she Sam bum embarrassed to Seath by his inns one More word . In  reminder program designed to keep airmen fit retain Able this is a rambo Gram in response to lie person who thought that being overweight equates to being physically unfit. The air Force thinks the terms go hand in hand but i disagree. There Are Many air Force members offi cers enlisted male and female who arc with in the weight standards however they can Trun a mile and a half within a specified period of time. This is the air Force criteria for being physically fit would they be More effective in a wartime situation than an Over weight person who can run a mile and a half within a specified period of time would the technical sergeant like to have to depend on a person who is five pounds overweight or a person who has a medical waiver because of a bad Back knee or ankle i think these people should be Dis charged based on the application of the air Force definition of who is and who is not physically fit. Why docs the air Force put the Burden on Squadron commanders in determine who should be granted a weight waiver make the policy regardless of rank or position simple make the prescribed weight or get out. Military members who arc truly dedicated should t need waivers because the have self discipline. The air Force should get serious about physical fitness and place some genuine emphasis on it running a mile Anaa half Oncea year does t mean a thing. Spend As much Money to keep people in the gym As misspent to keep them in the clubs. Name withheld Izmir Turkey editor s note it. Col. Douglas. Barclay chief officer promotion Branch directorate of personnel pro Gram management department of the air Force replies we would like to assure the Reader that the air Force is cry serious about the health and hell being of the air Force.

Forces serving in England today Don t remember those dark Days but i wonder if any of their relations cd scr Vic men remember rain Bow Corner and the people who worked there and did their Best to make their live happier and comfortable. Now at the age of 74,1 wonder if any of those sweats remember Rainbow Corner. Those military personnel who worked on reception the Provo Captain the Cor poral i a reception. Many times Over the passing years i have thought of these chaps also the red Cross ladies who worked Long and hard hours to Case the Lontoft Hugi. My Best memory of those Days was when the Crew of a fortress arrived in the Early hours of the morning. They had a meal and rested in the lounge in the basement of the club. Their senior officer saw my medal ribbon and began to ask questions. For Over two hours i told them of my experiences with the be in France before Dunkirk what to expect if they were forced to land there during operations. I wonder How Many can see the mess the world is in today. To those who May remember i Send bes sincere wishes for the future.

We have not had a Good accounting of our mias. Obviously Scott has never served in the military or had a loved on kept in a Bamboo Cage. Perhaps in the next War people like Scot should be required to serve in a War zone instead of her Plush office in Washington,. I la bet she changes her attitude to the nth degree. Michael e.

The air Force places these Inch dual in he weight manage ment program to rehabilitate and to Moti vate a life style change. Vii participants receive a medical evaluation recurring diet counselling mandatory exercise program monthly weight checks and administrative action if they fail to Progress. This rehabilitate process takes Lime resources and u concentrated Effort by the individual. The air Force maximum allowable weight closely approximates the 20 per cent body fat. The National Institute of health defines obese As 20 percent or More body fat. According to nil research being obese is just As lethal As smoking heart disease or High Blond pressure. The air Force Tinsa responsibility to help people to educate them about health risks associated with obesity and o educate  on How to modify individual behaviour using diet an exercise. The air Force people  Mure than u separation certificate. Separating those who fail la meet Stan Dards without first affording rehabilitative Steps is irresponsible. Many of these peo ple have hard to replace skills and our rehabilitation programs allow their retention. The enhanced fitness program has been Field tested and is being modified to Belte meet the needs of the air Force. Enhancing the air Force s fitness level will better serve the individual and the Force s Readi Ness. People who do not meet fitness Stan Dards will also receive help to integrate a fitness plan into their daily lifestyle. The St is a european edition cmdr Jeffrey s. Zakem.
