Ii has a Rich and Tofu Hli tory and boasts some highly distinguished at null Why so Lesly Honey dear Ann Landers about thai letter from the woman who kept receiving birthday cards and sales pitches from various insurance companies addressed to her deceased husband Wien my sister s husband died she had the same problem. Decided to mail them Back to the senders with a change of Fiddis. Sent a name cemetery Ujj Cicin and lot number. She never heard from them again. We be got it Good says pm shopper i read with interest the letter thai claimed Post Exchange merchandise was priced higher Here than in discount department stores in he states. If the Reader actually believes this then it s Lime he or she went Back to the states to find out just How much prices have really risen. After five years in Germany i Loo thought this was 1h Case when i had a permanent change of station to the states last year. I was shocked to discover that my stores that must be cheaper than the Exchange . R Mart and Wal Mart were much More expensive than i realized More so than even the a Lakeside exchanges yes they carried name Brand merchandise less expensive Ihan Macy a but size live boy s jeans were is ill going for s10 or More and paying slate taxes further boosted the prices. I found thai when comparing stateside Exchange prices to discount store prices the Exchange was Al most Al Wajts cheaper this comparison pricing was done in various Post exchanges in upstate new York. I recently moved Back to Germany. The previous writer Stales that with the Mark Rale German goods arc Loo expensive to buy. Too often americans stationed in Europe Are afraid logo Oul look and Compa Rison shop on he Economy. They go into a few Siors downtown and judge them ail to be too expensive. It May be thai those stores just happened to be the most expensive in town. There Are plenty of shopping Cen ters and reasonably priced stores on the Cra Nomy one Only has to make the Effort to find them. Most stores will set the merchandise aside for you if you want to gel the lax taken off. Making these items cheaper still if this is absolutely Oul of the question Why not just put items on layaway Al the Exchange personally i m sick and tired of hearing people complain when they make no Effort to make the Situa Tion Beller for themselves. Most people Don t know How Good they really have in Over Here.  Frankfurt stairwell Dweller asks scum1 to Wake up this is most Likely not the first Lime thai you received a letter like this one. I just can 1 wait any longer to voice my opinion. Ii has been three weeks of stairwell living after five Yean in the slates. Lei me Lei you what i see around me an incredible Lack of self Pride sell discipline and self respect in about 90 percent of the military Community. It is not in the Best interests of the United states to be represented by military communities that seemingly consist of the scum of society who display social and cultural retardation and moral decay. I we Don t show Hal we can about ourselves and our families How can we expect respect from the population of the Host nation one solution to this problem is to make Iii Lour an unaccompanied Lour. This is like running away from the problem and ignoring it. The other solution is to Wake up people Slop this embarrassment of being an excuse of a military member. Pull yourselves out of this lethargy teach your kids not to run around like monsters who show no respect for others and others properly. Instead set the Stan Dards Stop the destruction violence fill and Igno Rance give the Good example Ihnn there May be Hope that you and your families will become respectable members of society any society. There then May be Hope thai not just a Small percentage of people leading respectable live in our military communities will enjoy a reputation Worth an american citizen.

That Wai about it � far As uniform a Scouter merits were concerned. Sometime alter the air Force was born specially badges began to appear. In my own profession a jag badge was created apparently to appease Young lawyers who were clamor ing for  pay. Chaplains and medical personnel have heir own badges. Have you noticed every Exchange in the air Force has a generous Supply of jewish chaplain badges even though there Are Only a handful of jewish chaplains in the air Force Security police not satisfied with the traditional police badge now Wear two. Las year the maintained Gol their badge it s totally indistinguishable from an up badge at distances greater than two feel. The exception is the subdued maintains badge which is immediately recognizable by what appear to be a glob of Orange marmalade spilled on one s shirt Al the breakfast table 1 now Wear my maintenance badge As Well to prove that i once had an honorable profession before i Well to Law school. Ii has just been announced that the air Force has approved a specially badge for officers and enlisted personnel in the administrative career Field. The badge will be a word processor superimposed Over a Xerox machine. Apparently this new badge is another step in the air Force s systematic program of abandoning useless Radii ions in an Effort 10 Cater 10 the parochial interests of its people. I. Col. H.
