Employee i decided to Check the housing situation in the Vil suck Grafe Wohr area. During a recent Holiday i drove through several housing areas and noticed is to 20 housing units unoccupied or giving the appearance of being unoccupied. I like the writer spend almost half my income on rent and Utility costs. I think if we cannot receive housing then at least give the locally hired . Employee some Type of la living quarters allowance benefits to help in the financial situation the slumping Dollar has created. Its not that we Are trying to make More Money or onstage the stateside hired employee but v simply survive and support our families in these hard times. I agree we should unite and write our representatives in Congress and the president because after All we Are also taxpaying . Citizens. A Keith j. Hart sorg Hof Germany a a a faulty mathematics i am a ninth grader at Izmir High school in Turkey. My physical science teacher or. Painter was Reading us an article in the stars and stripes oct. 16 about the invt people rescued from the Cable car hanging suspended in the air when two of its three cables snapped. There was one part of the article that read a the 12-seat car Slid Back a half mile in four  this interested us very much because we wanted to figure out How fast it was going in those four seconds. We calculated that it had to be going at an average Speed of 450 Mph which would be impossible. We also calculated that if All three ropes had broken then it would have been falling at 87 Mph after four seconds. The class concluded that the actual time was probably More like 40 seconds. A Christine Arzt Izmir Turkey obscene caller wins this is in response to a no help from  in May i realized How unprotected americans Are Here. I started receiving obscene phone Calls when my husband was on try or flying late. I called the Security police and they told me i could file a report but my Best bet was to change my phone number. Changing my phone number Wasny to realistic with less than a year left Here. I filed a report which was ignored and there was no follow up. Meanwhile i was still getting Calls. The caller even phoned while a Security policewoman was Here to file the report. She also filed a report of her own. After several reports were filed and i received no help through the system i called the base in. I was told that the 10 does t get involved with obscene Calls. The system does no to work. I was told that nobody gets involved until a physical harm Quot is threatened. Excuse me people but what is threatened rape the Security police told me the germans done to Trace phone lines. Meanwhile a Trace had already been started with the help of my husband s Squadron and base Legal. It was successful and i received an address phone number and a r. Unfortunately it was on the eco. Spy. I was then told the German police would be in charge of the Case and that it would take three months maximum to have the Guy in custody. That was in july. Last i heard the Case was bouncing Between two German police departments. The Man called once after 1 received the Trace results. I asked him if he was calling from an area reflected in the Trace. Amazingly i caught his interest. After he quickly Hung up i called the number i had received and it had been disconnected. 1 informed the spa about the situation. They told me they would find out where the paperwork was and Call me Back. In a still waiting for that Call. I leave in december. I guess the caller wins.

Government is supporting the kurdish refugees in Iraq and ultimately some of this Aid gets into the hands of the pkg kurdish rebels in Turkey. At the same time we support the turkish government which is basically at War with the pkg. How does our government justify this it seems rather futile to support both sides. Also Why is this situation in Turkey not being covered on a regular basis we have at least three main bases As Well As Many detachments in Turkey. We did no to have bases in the former Yugoslavia. Every Day on turkish to and in the newspapers there Are reports and pictures of dead bodies. In conversations in be had with turkish civilians and soldiers More often than not they will express some concern about the United states helping the pkg. In a conversation with a pkg member he thanked me because we were supporting their cause with weapons food and medical supplies. Maybe in a missing something but  the press be doing their Job and covering this Story a senior airman Matthew a coffin Balik Esir Turkey discomfort at in Ciurlik in regard to the letter oct. U about living in tent City at in Ciurlik a Turkey the Only drawback the try personnel face is sleeping on cots. I and Many others stationed Here and living in housing Barracks suffer As much if not More. We experience numerous Power outages in which we lose our electricity and air conditioning. We also have to Bear with extreme heat. Just outside the base is a Concrete Plant which produces a lot of dust and dirt. And they re not the Only ones who live with spiders centipedes and Roaches. While deployed in saudi Arabia we were not provided All the comforts of Home a for example commissary base Exchange Bowling Alley no club and Golf course. As far As terrorism goes the writer is right that tent City personnel do not have to face it with their families by their Side. The writer was also right when she mentioned people forgetting that provide Comfort is still going on but done to be fooled into thinking these people Are suffering they re not. They re living it up. My opinion is that the outrageous per diem they re receiving is a total waste of government Money. A sgt. Richard e. Norris in Ciurlik a Turkey a a amp restrictions this is in response to the letter a no help from a Psi oct. 20. I done to blame the writer for her opinion but i think if she knew a Little about my procedures she might not be so Quick to judge us. There Are Many instances in which we May not be Able to Stop for a Motorist. If we Are responding to a Call alarm or other situation we May not be Able to help immediately. We also do escorts for Banks finance offices and pm branches. Granted most of these Are closed on sundays but some Are not. On these escorts we Are not permitted to Stop. Also when she says a amp vehicles a this makes me wonder. Several directorate of engineering and housing agencies drive vehicles with Light bars and these vehicles Are identical to ours. However she a right amps Are Here to help people and we work very hard at doing it. All in masking is that you not be so Quick to judge us when you done to know the full circumstances. A sgt. Richard Hooper Karlsruhe Germany a a a defending the maps in response to yet another one sided attack denouncing maps and their work a no help from a Psi oct. 20yes the maps Are Here to help people. Helping someone is most Likely what those three my vehicles were doing when they passed the Motorist in trouble. When dispatched on a Mission a patrol cannot simply disregard its instructions and act on its own. It can however Call its station and relay information on an incident it May observe. Unfortunately a heavy Case Load sometimes prohibits a Quick response. Incidents have different priorities of response. How would a person feel if the my patrol responding to an intruder in your stairwell stopped in route to help a Motorist Why does the stars and stripes continue to stereotype the maps As unprofessional and Lazy it would be Nice to see some objectivity in what you print about the military police. Its no wonder that maps have problems with juvenile family members in Many of our communities when the stars and stripes teaches their parents that maps and authority figures done to deserve respect.
