I would like to clarify the Issue of checking paperwork. Its the Parent guardians responsibility to update and Check the enrolment form. Every year when you Register your child the school has a reprinted enrolment form ds-600 prepared with the information the school received from the Parent guardian the previous year. When you re Register your child the registrar will ask you if everything is Correct and if All changes have been made. We done task for Home phone numbers since Many parents do not have phones at Home. As Long As we have the duty phone and an emergency Contact we done to need a Home phone number. Work numbers of spouses Are greatly appreciated. Wurzburg elementary school sent a letter requesting an update of addresses phone numbers Etc. The new information was put in the computer and the registration form for school year �?T92-93 was printed. If you did no to update your information prior to the Spring registration you had to update the registration form yourself. Its not the schools responsibility to Check if you took care of your current information. We ask a did you update All your information a when you return the reregistration form to the registrar. With your signature on the Back you confirm that All the information in the front is Correct. The registrars have to make sure that you sign the form and that your orders Are current reflecting the current duty station. So if you did not update the sponsors information prior to the Spring registration and you did no to update the Spring re registration you can to blame the school for not having current information for your child. Also its not necessary to make a copy of the registration form for your own records. After All the school personnel Are the ones who can to Contact you when your child missed the bus or your child is sick and needs to be at Home.

It is eminently Clear that if powerful weapons such As the ak-47, were not available to a nuts a it would not necessarily Stop them from killing but it sure As Heck would Stop them from killing so Many people in one outburst before being stopped. As for Hunting no responsible person needs such a weapon. If your shooting is so bad that you need that kind of firepower you need to take some shooting lessons. Weapons such As this were designed to kill people. They belong strictly in the hands of the military services. A Jack r. Burns cafe Baden Selling in Germany a a King trial an Eye opener the Rodney g. King trial has opened eyes to what happens in Black neighbourhoods. What makes it More amazing is the reaction of people who live in non Lack neighbourhoods. Black neighbourhoods have always been the Center of judicial indifference. I am not saying that there Are no problems a there Are. What i am saying is that if there is crime in the Black Community the police would arrest the one who called in the crime and ask questions after they were at the precinct. Rodney King was no Saint by any Means and 1 disagree with what the jury Felt because he did not take the stand. He was not the one on trial. It boggles the mind of some who wonder what the jurors could have been thinking when they said four police officers were justified in beating someone like a wild animal. A Samantha Johnson Aviano a Italy a a a togetherness needed i am a 25-year-old, White male from los Angeles. I grew up went to school letter s to the editor got into trouble and have friends of Many racial backgrounds there. I was appalled by the violence used on Rodney g. King. I believe the policemen involved should be been prosecuted and punished for their outrageous actions. I know a lot of l a. Police officers a sonic were neighbors and the parents of friends a and i have to say not one of them in be known seemed prejudiced. In a not saying that All officers arc not prejudiced but the beating might not have been racially motivated. People who arc Black White yellow or any combination thereof will on occasion get brutalized by police in any state when those citizens get out of line with the police. The police have a Job to do that not too Many people appreciate. They get harassed beaten up shot at and killed by people who just done to like cops. Those along with the rioters and looters Are the very ones the police put their lives on the line for to protect. The rioters destroyed their own Nomus businesses neighbourhoods. More than 50 innocent people died and about 2,400 innocent people were injured in los Angeles. We need to Channel our Energy into resolving the problems at hand not build this into a racial thing. Equality cannot be reached unless we All work together. Lets use our brains not our fists. A sgt. Jofto Chlor Schick Stcin Germany a slow Down for kids Sake i live in a military housing area in Frankfurt at the end of a dead end driveway which is less than 200 feet Long. There Are Small children always playing in the driveway and Riding their bikes. Yet the people who drive their cars in my driveway and on the other streets in the area refuse to abide by the posted Speed limit of 10 Mph. In a tired of Yelling at people to slow Down and then having them look at me stupidly or having to listen to them Tell me How they could Stop in time if they had to. My wife and one of my sons on separate occasions have been hit by cars and i can Tell you that the a i can Stop in time excuse is a Bunch of crap. Is getting Home 5 seconds Early Worth the life of the child who chased his Ball when it rolled into the Street from Between two parked cars Many of these Drivers May not realize How fast they drive. Many of my neighbors i would usually consider responsible people yet when it comes to the driveway they come dashing in like they re still on the autobahn. A chief warrant officer 2 John k. Hoff Nan Frankart Germany a a Welcome to a real army we live in a Remote site Community where we All must drive two to three hours for any real shopping trips dental or Hospital appointments. Yes sometimes it can be very hard and an inconvenience but lets face it its part of the everyday give and take of army life. Several times Niy husbands soldiers wives called and screamed yelled and cried that their husbands  work because they were needed to take them shopping to get their hair done or to an appointment. Now ladies this is the real army. We need to support our soldiers and be a Little Strong and Independent by doing things ourselves. Remember who really wears the pants now.
