European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 12, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Page 11 letters Reader wants National Anthem played at a recent so to meeting inf All personnel on this Post someone was wondering Why before and after the taped television programming we Don t get an Here because this a Remote site there is no playing of the National ant Liem. All that we patriotic junes and Joes wan is a film segment on tape that can he played before and after the programs for each Day. The response Given by one of our civilian officials was thai in d be difficult to include the stars and stripes because our programs Here arc taped. So what s so hard about that what s a. Few minutes each Day to include our favorite song also every Day at30 p.m., two maps Lake Down our Flag. There is no re real played and most people on this Post Don l observe the custom of stopping their autos getting out and standing at attention. I be even seen rude and inconsiderate people drive right by the maps who arc in the process of taking Down inc Flag. Many people who Are waiving around Don l even Stop. So How about music to make these people Honor our Flag i know this is a App Post but Aren t they Ameri cans Loo Are Icse civilians too Good to Stop and Honor our lag if so i sure would hate to be on this Post if the balloon goes Ihen Well Sec who d protect whom Barbara in Pyle bad sibling Wal Germany editor s note master sol do.

Our Job i to Edn Calt everyone and a Menli Ord Abms we ban and will continue to do that. Army s civilian employees discussed 1 would Tike to address something that has made me upset Ever since i be been in Germany. As a matter of fact Ever since i be been in the army. It seems like i be heard about cutting Back and army Budge oils officer cuts along with Early outs for in listed soldiers just about every week i be been in inc army and i be been in for More than four years. Bui nol onre have the department of army civilians Days been mentioned. Why Are they so special they ire no belter than us on Active duly. I just can t understand Why inc army pays the Days much More than its own soldiers. Half of the Days Don l even earn their Money and no doubt the other half Only Cam half of i heirs. To lop it off inc government is paying for the Home they slay in Over seas plus is Chine privileges and Low cos medical care. Come on someone needs 10 do something about All this wastefulness. Don t gel me wrong. I m Nott Alki no about Lite Leach or who Leach the children of the soldiers. I m talking about the gs-2s who arc in logistics a fancy name for Supply. A. This i a Jolic. These people arc supposed 10 be sure cruising the Field of logistics Why nol Pul an e-5 or e-6 ill that Slot. Thai s what an no is sup posed to do. Bet he would be Isicc As productive not to mention All the Money Llie army would save. An e c � pay is a lol lower than a gs-12 s. It just does t make sense. The ume thing go for All those gs-1.1 administrative workers or supervisors. This is also a joke. Why nol Pul military people in these slots these Days Haven t earned the right to work in he military. Their live Aren t on inc line and yet they gel paid these tremendous amounts of Money each month. Bui when some big Shoi has overspent inc budget and sees the need to Start cutting Back it s always the sol Diers the heart of inc army who Are Hurt we enlisted people can take Only one class per col lege term. How arc we supposed to by Loci ourselves like this but when the Dollar started Loerop inc Days started Yelling where s my cola and the govern ment gave it to them i think the government should consider the Over abundance of Annec camry Dac positions throughout the system. Maybe they should consider doing away with Days altogether in the future or Ai least make being in the army a prerequisite before consideration for a Dac Slot.

Dear Ann Landers this in nol the usual letter one might read m your column but after the recent american music awards ceremony 1 fell i have to speak my mind.

Apparently it does t matter to them thai the peo ple who bought their records and made them Rich and famous feel Norte hanged. Judging front the Boos and hisses i heard from the audience it was obvious thai i am nol the Only person who Feria this Way. Maybe these no show celebs will give some thought to what went wrong Neil year when the a Ali go to people who arc not Loo Busy to Shuw up and say thank 1 nope you will print this letter because something should be done about celebrities who forget How they got where they Are.
