Not All alike in response to the senior resident of Naples who wrote of the abysmal driving conditions i have lived Here in Naples More than six years and strongly agree with the writer s colourful assessment of Naples Drivers. However i believe her statement of How idiotic the italian Drivers arc is unfair. It is obvious to me that she has never ventured Naples. If she had she would not have lumped the neapolitan driving habits with the rest of Italy she also states the locals arc taught to drive like this we arc no the locals arc not taught to drive in a Lunatic out of control manner. Driving schools in Italy arc comparable with their american counterparts. If anyone has lived in any Large Metropolis Rome Naples new York los an a Clos they can easily find Lunatic out of control Drivers As Well. Anyway compliments to the writer the old saving when in Rome do As the romans do in this Case Naples neapolitan but remember not to include All italian Drivers As idiotic when describing the madness of Naples driving. Mark e. Cariton Naples Italy. Military loves it i would like to congratulate the Sta Sand stripes for its great work throughout the years. I read the paper every Day. It tells me what s happening in the world politics and How our favorite sport team is doing. Ican say so much about our stars and stripes. It even tells the top 10 music billboard charts and future movies that Are coming overseas. Keep up the great work your Mili tary loves it. You re the Best. Baldur Kristinsson Pitburg a Germany Aspin s deadly mistake it was reported that defense Secretary Les Aspin s Job May be in jeopardy. The article stated that one More screw up in inter National affairs and he s out. One of his re cent screw resulted in the deaths of 18soldiers in Somalia. So we re waiting for one More mistake More dead soldiers Nancy Tonsing Vai Hingen Germany. Total Equality or nothing in regard to the feedback column nov.7i am tired of the women in combat Issue. I am a master sergeant in special Force shaving served nearly 18 Yean in combat arms. Women have no place in combat arms. I am not saying that some cannot per form the Mission Only that they do not be Long there. However if women actually want to serve in front line combat give them Complete Equality. I mean total Equality not selective Equality. Begin by making women Register for selective service. Give them the same entitlements As men. They should receive no exemptions not allowed to men. The element of Choice must also be eliminated. It is argued that women should be Able to serve in direct combat if they so choose. Men do not get to choose if they fight or not neither should women. Integrate women into combat arms uni Snow. Don t wait for the boys to come Home and cry that you did t get the Opportunity to serve on line. By integrating women now we can ensure that they Are asexually prepared As their male counterparts women must be held to the Sam physical Standard As men. We cannot allow selective Equality in the foxhole. Each sol Dier must Bear his or her share of hardships be they emotional or physical. The infantry does not deploy into combat with Porto Tot lets. There Are no separate facilities in a defensive perimeter. If women want Equality they must fight for it. When women meet the same Stan Dards As men then and Only then should they be allowed to Hump a Ruck draw ammo and get on sgt Robert Allard Brindisi Italy erroneous figure in reference to the letter pass the Gravy _ nov. 14the $100 billion figure cited As the . Contribution to the North Atlantic treaty organization was erroneous and misleading. To set the record straight the figure is substantially less. In 1993, the total of our direct support to nato is closer to$750 million. This figure includes our Bud gets for nato specific operations infrastructure and support for the nato head is incorrect to assume All costs associated with . Forces in Europe Are the foundation for an economic relationship that last year resulted in Over $235 million intrude Between the United states and our european partners i d say our military in vestment in nato and Europe which has translated into an unprecedented Era of peace and stability in Europe has paid off handsomely. The Challenge is to maintain such stability during the Uncertain and challenging Days , Gordon i. Peterson director Public . European com Vaihinger Germany. Learn More about it in response to a recent letter from a Par ent who questioned the use of cooperative learning As a teaching technique i won dered whether the Parent has actually investigated cooperative learning at All or spoken to his child s teacher about its use. Cooperative learning is a technique that has been researched Over time. It has been proven to develop Many attributes Nec Essary for succeeding in life. Few of us in the real world do our Job without working with someone else. Cooperative learning activities prepare kids to be Able to work to Gether in a productive manner. As Educa tors concerned with developing the skills tomake our students contributing members of society we encourage the use of cooperative techniques because we know the Bene fits it activities require a great Deal of planning and work. It s a lot harder and very time consuming work for the teacher to develop these kinds of lesson because a lot of preliminary step by step training must be conducted to ensure that kids Are successful in learning How to work together. Many teachers find it easier not Todo cooperative activities because of the Nec Essary additional Advance educator will Tell you that to be successful in teaching Many different techniques Are used to try to address each individual s learning style. A teacher will use several methods when addressing even single concept cooperative learning is just one of these methods. We Hope that this Small bit of information will encourage any Parent who questions the use of this technique to investigate h fur ther. Nan Peters Darmstadt Germany. Food for thought the writer of a Choice at checkout nov. 10 obviously does t feel comfortable about voicing her wish to bag her own Groce Ries or she would do it All the time. Perhaps it is because she knows that the simple convenience we Are providing is the Way Many of us support ourselves be tween jobs or make Money for school sure baggers May look annoyed when customer wants to bag his or he lies. That is because a Bagger is losing turn but it does t weigh on the Bagger s mind for hours. It is forgotten As soon As an other turn is found. If you want to bag your own groceries feel free. Don t worry about what we re thinking we d much rather have you take out your own bags if that i what you want. About h being a simple convenience stress on simple i suggest you do it All Day and Tell me How simple you think h out three carts of groceries for an 85 cent tip and Tell me How that feels. If Small tips mean i resent feeling obliged to pay for something i can do my self by All Means do it yourself. Heidelberg Germany tip for commissaries. In response to please tip your Bagger oct. 23the baggers taking your groceries to your car is a if they re not satisfied with the pay then they need to get an other Job. The amount of the tip should be left up tothe customer. It is very distasteful to Ted people to give baggers tips. It takes three or four minutes to Roll your groceries to your car and put them in. U they get a 50-cent tip that is $7jo per hour minimum. That s More than i make and they Don t even pay taxes on it. I spend a lot of Money at the commissary. The least they could do is pay their baggers even if it were $1.50per hour to take out my groceries and leave the amount of the tip to me Shan Kilpatrick Raf upper Heyford England l editor s note j we encourage our readers especially those who have never submitted a letter to write to us.
