I Haven to had one Good nights sleep since i did that awful deed. I keep wondering who this woman is and what kind of a relationship he has with her. It could be something big or it could be nothing at All. I can to Tell Roger that i went through his Wallet. He would never Trust me again. But i am dying to know what is going on a if anything. What should i do Ann should i Contact this woman and ask her Point Blank or should i just come right out and ask Roger if he is seeing someone i am going crazy. Please advise me. A depressed sleepless in Winnipeg dear Winn under no circumstance should you Contact the woman. That would be the dumbest move Yon could make. And done task Roger about the card either.

I put my wet paper Towel in the bin. My Friend did the same. It was full so he stuck his hand in to push the towels Down. Suddenly he yelled  when he pulled his hand out he saw a Little blood and a Small puncture wound. After sifting through the bin he found a syringe. We concluded that it was put there by a diabetic or a drug user. Now my Friend must go for a blood test and worry about whether he has come in Contact with the hts aids virus.

Page 11 letters a dislocation allowance ruling explained i would like to request clarification of the dislocation allowance la. T it por a leaving fort Jackson s.c., my family travel to Usa eur was disapproved but i was authorized to move my family from fort Jackson to Oklahoma. I received travel pay for my family plus la. Six months later i secured government quarters and again moved my family and shipped household goods to Europe. Now in a told by finance i am Only authorized travel pay because i received la once already. It is not my fault that fort Jackson would not let my family stay in quarters for six months. The service not i caused my family to move twice in one fiscal year.  i be authorized la again a name and location withheld editors note sgt 1st class Michael Donohue staff finance no office of the Deputy chief of staff resource management he Usa eur replies dislocation allowance la is paid to partially reimburse a Soldier for average expenses incurred in relocating his or her household incident to a pcs permanent change of station move. Until 1955, these expenses were not reimbursed. Since oct 1, 1989, la has been paid at a rate equal to two months bad Basic allowance for quarters. While soldiers believe they should be authorized an additional la for multiple moves of their families the joint Federal travel regulations a for authorizes Only one la for each pcs move regardless of the number of moves the family makes. The reasoning for  a decision is contained in Section 407, 37 . Code. Briefly the Law states that la is not a direct reimbursement for the actual added expenses involved in a particular household relocation. Rather la is designed to reimburse on average  extra expenses. While your family moved twice and you had extraordinary expense your finance office is Correct in not paying you another la. With pending budget cuts i do not believe we will see any change to la that would cover soldiers in situations similar to yours. However As a result of your letter we have submitted a request to change the a for. If approved two Las would be paid in cases  As yours. A wife touched by gifts for husband when my husband told me he was deploying to the Middle East my heart Sank. I knew How much i would miss him but for him to leave and be involved in a potential War was overwhelming. I miss him so much. But he also has friends Here in Karlsruhe Germany who miss him and this is the reason for the letter. We re avid bowlers Here in Karlsruhe and we used to bowl together in the Friday night league. Well some of the folks got together to buy a gift for a fellow Bowler who was to be hospitalized. Well it happened that he was Able to avoid it so that left the group with $50 to spend. Someone remembered that a a by my husband was in saudi Arabia and thought it would be great to Send him some needed items from everyone on the Friday night league. A couple of volunteers went to cafes where they were generously Given skin lotions lip Balm games and All sorts of things. And Best of All it was free. Once the managers knew it was for our soldiers in the persian Gulf they gave without being asked. So now they have everything they were going to buy and they still have $50. They bought crossword Puzzle books and All kinds of other books hard Candy lollypops and just All sorts of things. You just can to imagine How touched i was by All this. When i told my husband about it today on the phone he was speechless. He  believe they were thinking about him while he was gone. He was so moved. Its hard to put into words that feeling you get when someone does for you just because you re a Friend. _ Well Guys this letter is to you the Friday night Bowling league in Karlsruhe. Thank you for remembering  he a missed so much at Home but with friends like you he wont be forgotten not in the Karlsruhe military Community. And thank you cafes.
