Forces there arc Many frustrations we face being stationed overseas. I would venture to say that for most of us the feeling of isolation is the worst there is no Tim that this i More apparent than when tragedy strikes your family at Home. A car Accident recently took the lives of two of our family members and left a third critically injured. The response from my unit and from the Community at Large was unbelievable. We had just left on a driving trip through Holland and did not have a firm  was Only through the very hard work and ingenuity of several people that they were Able to locate us. We were on a plane bound for the United states within six hours of returning to my unit at a time such As this the last thing we needed was a problem arranging Otu return. I cannot begin to de scribe the Relief we Felt when everything was put into motion. From the moment the red Cross message came through the machinery was put into gear and it ran like clockwork. Emergency leave orders and air line tickets were All ready within hours. The staff at All Levels treated us with the utmost professionalism and compassion at a time that we really needed it. My wife and i Are deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us and who continue to show their concern. I would also like to reassure everyone living overseas that the system does work. We May not always get what we want in the military but when it counts it is there to support you. Thanks for everything. Capt and mrs. Timothy Fontaine Heidelberg dangers of Long distance running listed you recently printed two letters from apparently Well meaning Long distance runners advocating the benefits derived from this activity. This saddened me very much. A great Many people read the letters column and some Are bound to be influenced by the letters from the self proclaimed ath Letic engineers. Natural painkiller the photo which accompanied the article concerning the appearance of natural painkillers during pregnancy was somewhat misleading. The article referred to an increased level of endorphin in the blood Stream As the natural painkiller but the photo seemed to indicate that a punch in the face by the Anaesthesiologist was the painkiller being used. Vent Liermann Bamburg Genu nor the truth is Long distance runners have a 5,000 times greater risk of having a heart attack than a Long distance Walker. A Long distance runner is 10,000 times More Likely to have knee muscle or ligament injury or damage than a Soldier carrying a full Ruck for 30 Kilometres. Also Long distance runners who have been medically evaluated find that their act or stress hormone is abnormally High. Their cortisone level will also be elevated to abnormal highs. The facts Are in and even the army has begun to realize that they Are doing More harm than Good to their troops by running them As opposed to marching Long distances. After All being Able to walk 30 to 50kilometers is much More combat realistic. Can you imagine running 30 Kilometres to a Battle with full Ruck even if you made it you would t be Able to fight. I think it is High time people started listening to doctors and fitness experts instead of marketing representatives for running shoes and diet food.
