The stars and stripes ran a article called support your local club meaning no pm club. I have a complaint which seems to be filling on deaf ears. I purchased a club card recently. I paid s3 on month for it. I went to the dub this weekend and they had a cover charge of s3 for both members and non members. In addition the meal to be served was an extra $4.30. I said meal not a Sandwich. All total spent is 3 for an evening out at the Kazara no dub in Vogel Weh. This was on a Friday night. They had to Odd playing music and one was trying to outdo the other. After a disgusting evening i called it a night at about i the following saturday i ran into the same non sense at the Kayser club on Danner Kaseane. 1showed my club card and then had to pay $3 to enter to hear the same djs play rub a dub dub to the disco question is this a fax Are we buying dub cards Why do we pay this ridiculous cover charge 1ft am member Why do i have to pay the same As a non member to enter on Friday nights at the Kazara club it s standing room Only. Give up the Money to listen to the disco beat and Well cram you in somehow. Wrong they arc charging myself and other soldiers and isee nothing to show for it. The clubs offer you Noth ing except a Blank look if you ask them to explain what s going on. You gel answers like i Don t know i m just doing my Job. Or i you Don t like it go to another should be helping the a is through e-6not using this entertainment As a Way of manipulating few senior cos or first sergeants patronize the club system at night. You should it s called taking an Active interest in your soldiers we Are part of the system and believe me this one needs correcting. Of you compare these clubs with the no club at Ramstein forget it no comparison. Another question Why not charge the same for Rock night and country and Western night Are we relying on the disco sound to support our clubs Orare we taking advantage of the situation another complaint 1 have is Why is it necessary Topay a cover charge to play the Slot machines or just have dinner at the club now we Are really Desper questions have been asked More than one time bul it seems As Hough All is being put off to the Side fora Rainy Day.
