In Augsburg As in Many areas in Europe the installation Security has become a thing of the past and has created an atmosphere of Lais see Faire. Local National non id card holders Are being allowed to utilize facilities and activities that our non military family and friends in the United states  be allowed to use. They come in off the Street to eat in clubs and snack bars for one third the Economy Frice. They get haircuts for the equiv ent of half the Economy Price. They use the Tennis courts and gyms which Cost a Fortune on the Economy. In be seen them buy cases of soda at the Sheridan Annex and at the Hospital Exchange. Why Issue an id card if these activities Are open to anyone i was always under the impression that the taxpayers Money was used to offer the id card Holder inexpensive services and activities some food concessions Are now contracted to los and i have witnessed their families and friends eating and drinking at reduced . Prices. This is waste fraud and abuse. This is also a huge customs violation. Lets not feed the belief that Uncle Sam is an Evergreen Money tree.

The 50 percent of these babies that Are born alive Seldom live longer than a month. They breathe sleep suck and Swallow. They never smile Coo laugh or recognize their parents. A brain does not miraculously grow. These babies die. It also would not Surprise me that most of these people have never known or spent time with anyone child or adult who is awaiting an Organ transplant. To see the Hope and pain that rests on their faces As the time of death draws nearer yet life is within their grasp if  the wish of Theresa s parents that their daughter be Able to live on through others did not come True. Let us Hope that their fight for life will take a precedence Over future Laws governing this ethical area of Medicine. I Pray these lawmakers have the Pearsonsr insight into life that Many people will never have. A or.

However 60 minutes failed to report the reason such Laws were enacted. It All started when people watched from their windows while a lady was stabbed to death in the Street. She screamed for help by no one came to her Aid. The reason they did no to want to get involved. When i entered the air Force we had sergeants and captains who greeted us every morning. It was part of their routine to speak with everyone under their supervision. Not Only did they look at uniforms shoes and haircuts they also looked into the airman a eyes and talked to them. Since they had done this every morning it was easy to spot when something was wrong or troubling the airman. By this time the airman knew the supervisor Well enough that he she Felt comfortable talking with the supervisor. We called this management. A few years later we allowed our managers to arrive Early in the morning and make a beeline for their offices and never step through the threshold again until it was time to go Home. Because the manager Wasny to fulfilling his her responsibilities we developed such programs As the weight control program the a Golden flow program social actions Quality control and family advocacy. We termed this style of a managing Only when things become crises As management by objectives. It worked Well because managers never had to leave their offices to Excel at management. Now i understand that part of the draw Down plan is to have members working at separate installations from their supervisors. Theoretically we could have managers that never Lay eyes on their employees As Long As we do not take our responsibilities As americans As managers or As neighbors seriously the rights of others must be protected by Laws agencies and programs established to fill that void. If you think the Dea has too much Power take control. When you see someone doing something illegal report it. When these agencies have letters to the editor nothing to do we can get rid of them. But in the meantime imagine trying to write an enforceable procedure to protect All americans from drugs violence and crime and at the same time protect innocent americans from the very procedure that you Are writing. Is it possible a Ken Easterling Ramstein a Germany rowdies in All services in reference to your article concerning the Navy pilots who belonged to the Tail Hook association May 1these officers were Well known for their hard drinking and sexual carousing at their annual parties. The air Force has its share of the same Type. In the summer of 1965,1 was stationed at an upcountry air base in Thailand. We were flying Airlift support missions into Vietnam. A Friend who was assigned to the Security police told me of an incident that happened Over the weekend. The manager of the officers club called them to quell a disturbance. An old Gray haired major arrived with two policemen. Some of the Drunken pilots who were breaking up the furniture cursed him and told him to leave. One of the rowdies was a lieutenant colonel. They mocked the major saying they flew dangerous combat missions Over Vietnam risking their lives while he was nothing but a a desk jockey sitting safely in his office. Without answering them he turned and left with the two airmen. They jeered and mocked him As he went out the door. A Short while later he returned to the club wearing a dress uniform with eight rows of ribbons and command pilots wings. The old major had Over 20 years service and had been grounded because of alcohol abuse. In the Early 1940s, while stationed in England he flew numerous combat missions Over the european continent. When the Young fighter pilots saw him they became strangely quiet. There were no More Nasty remarks. He gave them a Short talk on officers behaviour and responsibilities. Shortly after he finished speaking the Wing commander arrived. He told them the party was Over and sent them to their quarters. A senior master sgt. William j. Sheehan Lindsey air station Germany a done to trash recycling recycling in the military Community  be As difficult As soldiers make it. The Way i see it is that if you done to want to take the extra 10 seconds it takes to separate trash then done to. However if you re not going to done to ruin it for those of us who know its importance. In a writing this letter because yesterday when i went to empty the recycling containers from work there was everything but paper trash in the recycling bin. I live on the Economy and realize its difficult when they Only pick up the trash every other week. This does no to give people the right to break two Laws not following the sort separate or Recycle trash program and throwing the off Post trash in the on Post dumpsters. Its time for people to grow up and do what a right not just what a easy. Lets get with the program. A capt. Eric j.
