As plea for san Vito regarding All the tetters and articles concerning thefts of household goods and damage during shipment especially no Tai blk was the article about the family who had nearly All their possessions held by a creditor of a moving company. I can to help but remember the people Back at san Vito Italy with the closure of Clark a in the Philippines tiny san Vito became no. 1 in the entire air Force for thefts in on and off base housing to say nothing of the shipments. I Hope the Powers that be go out of their Way to do something to help these people. Our current system for compensation is inadequate. We need to change some things such the heavy depreciation value limits of certain items and waiting up to two years to receive payment. Can to some Wise person with the Power to make the needed changes simply do so. A. I done to think the members of the armed forces arc greedy they just want to keep the possessions they be spent their whole lives acquiring. Ramstein Germany redress the address about a year and a half or so ago our military postal system introduced the four line address to make our mail system Quot better and Well help me because in a confused. To this Day the military is the Only institution that has heard of this system. In be lost count of the times in be stood in front of a sales clerk in the states and recited Quot no i m serious four lines what do you mean your computer wont accept lets Wake up its not working. If the postal system needs a suggestion about speeding up the mail i have one perhaps they could raise sea turtles strap the packages on their backs and Send them on their Way. Not Only would this get our packages to the states faster but it would also Cut Down on the useless forms. A tech. Sgt. David Schwartz Hahn a Germany recycling is vital i am fed up and have seen enough. The recycling program does no to seem to be working. Or maybe 1 ought to say the education process program and the enforcement of mandatory requirements Arentt working. Some people Don t care and think nothing of throwing trash into the first available trash can or dumpster. I am fully aware that local Laws May restrict How we Recycle and the availability marking and pickup schedules of containers. But we must take the time and Effort to Recycle and educate ourselves to have effective environmental pollution controls. We must make on the spot corrections whether it be officers enlisted civilians or dependents whenever we see noncompliance. In today a kindergartens and Elemen tary schools our children Are taught about adults and military leaders it is our duty and responsibility to conform to All regulations and need to Stop the abuse of our environment and enforce recycling Quot to make the world a better place for you and me and the entire human chief warrant 3 . Blend in i Parma sons Germany Christmas Sale strikeout on the first shopping Day of the new year i decided to go to the Giessen Post Exchange expecting big savings on selected merchandise. I left empty handed. The Only things on Sale were the out of Date clothing that had been on Sale since last year and a few managers specials from last year. I feel this is in american and unfair to the soldiers that can Only shop at the Exchange. After Christmas sales Are an american tradition and cafes is american or is it a staff sgt. David j. Coates Kirch gains Germany. Lack of alternative music every modern Rock fan knows How difficult it is to find Good alternative music at the Post Exchange. And now its impossible to hear any Good alternative music on the radio thanks to an radios lat est programming change. They re playing hours of country on the Power network and they took away our Midnight alternative show Joe Retting. But it does no to have to stay that Way. Lets not let an think country roads or Power Lite is any kind of substitute for Modem Rock. A Eric Dietrich Stuttgart Germany setting record straight i am writing in reference to Quot Gas chamber error Jan 5. Although Dachau soil did not utilize Gas Chambers Camps such As the ones at Auschwitz ii Biroc Nau and Treblinka did the writer fails to realize that at the time Auschwitz was hot in Poland. Poland was wiped off the map in september 1939. The area became a province of the German Reich called general govern mint under the control of Hans Frank. At the time it constituted German soil. Before i am also labelled As a bigoted writer i just want to state that these atrocities were committed by a crazed and prejudiced few. The majority of German citizens did not really know what went on in those Camps especially the Large death Camps of the East. Those who did could not do anything about it anyway lest they suffer the same Fate. The majority of German people today Are not running around in the streets attacking foreigners. Its another crazed prejudicial few. The difference now is that the people have a right to say its wrong and they wont tolerate it any longer. From what i have seen lately they have started to do just senior airman Andy Fisher Ramstein a German political indictments Pete Yost of the associated press glorifies the struggles of White Knight special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh in his one Man Battle against evil government and abuse of Power a the stonewalling Republican tyranny controlling Washington. And nausea. In what has become All too typical of the left leaning Media lets find another conservative to vilify while appearing to give the Public an objective viewpoint. Now the Way i read the pardons that president Bush has Given he is saying Quot enough is enough a i agree. After years and $35 million Walsh has not successfully prosecuted anything but taxpayer pocketbooks. The previous convictions of Oliver North and Ohn Poindexter were overturned obviously they were found to be bogus just As i suspect the indictment of Caspar Weinberger indictment of Weinberger was simply and quite obviously a political ploy to net Walsh another lease on his congressional Independent counsel. Appointment which runs out this month a capt. Robert p. Smith or.
