European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 6, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers dear Ann Landers despite All the publicity the Gays have received in recent years i find myself surprised at the persistent tendency to confuse homosexuals with transvestite i i i am a transvestite and Nave been one Ever since i was old enough to try on my Mother s i pantyhose and High heeled shoes. I i have been extremely careful to i keep this secret to myself because i there is so much hostility toward t homosexuals in our town and people around Here Don t know the difference. There is no Way i can deny my passion for female attire. The Trillier the better. My idea of pure Bliss would be to work As a Model in a big City. I repeat i am not a homosexual. In fact the very thought of sexual relations with someone of the same sex is revolting to me. Now dear lady you be been exposed to All the complexities of life so i suspect it would take a lot to Shock you. If a male acquaintance of yours were to Lay a Cas such As mine before you and confess that he adores dressing in women s clothes would you think he was nuts would you be Able to accept him As a woman if he presented himself dressed As one Texas dear Texas Oace person s tender hat Ben Fitsam Huml socially he or the is cast a that Mold. Dressing i the clothes of the opposite sex would not change that concept. If i knew Yon As a male and you appeared to Satin and bows i wow View Yon at a male wac enjoy dressing As i am Well aware that most transvestites Are not homosexuals. Bat some Are although they Are reluctant to admit it dear Ann Landers please advise husbands and wives of alzheimer s victims to seek Power of attorney while the patient can still sign a  sister has alzheimer a and it Breaks my heart to see her so frightened and helpless buckling under the financial Burden and then being told that she cannot sell a piece of property without an act of Congress. I m sure the Laws vary from state to state but Alz Heimer s can be a very expensive illness and often property must be sold to maintain proper care for the afflicted one. Please Ann Landers Tell those unfortunate people to sign Over Power of attorney so matters ,y. Dea Asheville there is no act of Congress to Deal with the problem Yon  would not be so Quick to advise anyone to sign Orer Power of attorney to a relative. Not All relatives can be trusted to do the intelligent or honorable thing. I Sug Gest that the sick person go to a Bank awl arrange for a professional to Lake care of his or her property. Dear Ann Landers my in Laws Are in their 70s. They Are Lovely people mind their own business and weve never had an trouble with them. The problem is that although they have plenty of Money they will not spend it on a vacation or outside help. We be told them we Don t want an inheritance and they should enjoy some of the better things in life while they Are still healthy. We can t get through to them can your and Fin Ohio dear probably pot. In bet they bed throng the de Loo and Are terrified of being poor again. Too bad. Them this column and Tell them i m with you. I synd Cala column Al Landara and Sipal. Apo 09211. . Fosmo wednesday augusts 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11 letters upgraded Barracks conditions noted i am a single Soldier and i am really tired of Reading the letters on bedroom allowances. The regulation states that dependent family Mem Ber is entitled to a private bedroom upon reaching the age of 10. This consideration should to extended a the single enlisted Soldier minimum age 17. They Are stacked two to four to a room with no thought Given to their Lack of privacy. There is something very unfair about the whole situation. Name withheld a Traberg editor s note col. Doane g. Ingalsbe chief Soldier and family policy division office of the Dep Oty chief of staff for personnel department of the army replica Congress office of the Secretary of defense and the services have Long recognized the Lack of space in bar Racks. Since 1957, we have moved from the open Bay bar Racks with Central latrines for platoons of 40 soldiers to the eight Man rooms for Junior enlisted personnel then to the three person modules and now to the current module standards with no More than two soldiers per sleeping room. These modules provide Security of personally owned property privacy and More space for sol Diers. Since april 1,1983,  and Modem a ,r4lon of Barracks Hai been based on a Standard module comprising to sle Pinr rooms and a connecting Bath room. Jbr5laniard design will provide equitable treat  All unaccompanied personnel regardless of Scroke. It also has the added advantage of providing More space and privacy for All enlisted grades. Assignment of these quarters will be two e1-e4 per sleeping room four per module one es-e6 per sleeping rim two per module with 180 Square feet vein 135 Square feel. Grades e7-e9 will be assigned one per module with 360 Square feet Versos the previous 270 Square feet the army does not intend to provide All single sol Diers a private room. As soldiers Progress up the career ladder they receive More entitlements and benefits these include increased living space in unaccompanied personnel housing. The army leadership continually strives to improve living conditions for its single soldiers. The military construction and modification budget for fiscal 1982 was $156 million in 1983, $146 million in 1984, $182 Mil lion in 1985, $284 million in 1986, $360 million and in 1987, a proposed $316 million. He questions policy toward Nicaragua i find it incredible How much Power our president has in today s America. President Reagan exemplifies this time and time again. Most recently his constant pressure against con Gress to accept his $100 million gift to the contras in the name of democracy finally won his demands. It appeared the House took a Strong stand opposing it but suddenly they gave in. Now the question is was it the right decision i believe the russians have the intention of making Nicaragua an anti american ally if not submissive to becoming a soviet controlled nation in order to shorten their striking Range at the United states. It is perfectly logical and we would do the same in their Posi Tion. But we took the wrong approach to the situation. Supporting the sandinista opposition will Only entice increased Aid from the . To or. Ortega s coun try. Also should we give away $100 million while we have such a High deficit at present the sandinista Are acquiring attack Heli copters and troops from Russia. I would t be sur prised if this increased further now that the House has heeded Reagan s wishes. Looking Down the Road i looks As though an armed conflict Between the . And . Will most Likely occur. Either Way we Wib be throwing much More Money into this than we can afford. If Reagan s decision was incorrect what would be the Correct Choice perhaps dealing directly with nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega would be a More effective method. It would be the direct approach and or. Ortega does t seem too opposed to the idea. He May not be easy to Deal with but then again is Gorba Chev whatever the outcome of this intensifying situation we Don t seem to have much control Over its destiny. President Reagan has his Way once again. I just Hope he knows what he s doing. . Gary a.

I m an esl English As a second language student at Vilsick at the moment. My original language is French. I also speak Spanish and cre9le.

The . Army today needs people who speak More than one language in a War situation when you capture the enemy How will you communicate with him Don t Tell me he will speak English Many second language people Don t know the existence of this course or they Don t know How to get in on it. On this Point i m proud to be a member of 1/39 inf. Starting with my battalion commander to the platoon Leader they arc the ones who helped me to be Here in Vilseck and they know it s better to Send someone to school for one month to improve their pronunciation and vocabulary so that the esl person can go Back to his or her unit and do a More efficient Job.
