A blatant swindle so Peter Isaacs sees a future of bigger better and faster Slot machines a slots to keep Money going a round officials says a nov. 18. What he needs to see is a thorough congressional investigation into the blatant swindle he Calls a Benefit to the community.�?�. Fortunately for him Congress is no More concerted with morality than he admits to being and the Odds against exposing the real truth about military Slot machines management Are greater than those against hitting the Jackpot. Also fortunate for Isaacs is something called a generation turnover a today a younger military members victims cannot compare what they see to times when the slots were not a bigger better and fas toil they can to see that Slot machine payoff is were regulated the program was closely managed and one did no to Nave to travel to Hawaii or Florida to see the benefits alluded to. They can to possibly see that a club manager in those Days a military occupational specially did something other than count the it machines proceeds once a week. They really did manage and those Slot machine proceeds could by seen in the a a a a a Jeuial _ pcs Tau rant and a Happy hours several times a week. Of forgive me Happy hour is now considered immoral. Something else today a military member would not have seen in those times now forgotten something that could not form of special entertainment pc meals in an honest to goodness club possibly be of any consequence to one a a Ith of gambling a who is Quot not concerned with the morality 65 cents a the managers explanation a we have a new machine and so everything will Cost while in the area i went to the liquor store a system also taken Over by cafes to a provide service and savings. A bottle of wild Turkey Bourbon which four months ago sold for $14,50, now is offered at a a a savings Price of Only $19,50. Just in time for the holidays. If the Exchange keeps offering savings such As these we will All have empty Bank accounts i can Only guess what wifi happen if cafes takes Over the banking services. A Bob Bartlett 1 Blob org a Germany _ a a a a handsome payoff a a the following Lottor printed nov 22, was garbled and la being reprinted in lie entirety. In reference to the letter a pass the Gravy nov. 14the $100 billion figure cited As the . Month Button 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 Nalic is closer to $750 million. A this figure includes our budgets for nato specific operations infrastructure and support for the nato is incorrect to assume All costs Asso dated with . Forces in Europe go to support nato our daily responsibilities extend far beyond natos boundaries into Africa Ana parts of the Middle East and our contingency roles fake our people to other regions during out of area deployments. In a referring to Young Nul itary members the ones who done to know How to take responsibility for their actions despondent Over the loss of the family grocery Money. Visit your local club a they Are there. Make them feel better. Tell them their Money is going to help rent the Orlando Disney land inn for the next a Don Weber Stuttgart Dennany next 100 years. Consider yourself Lucky for those who incessantly attack the Quality of armed Force radio and television service quit whining and consider yourselves Lucky to even have the service. To Quot an slighted Naftal nov.23i wish i was one of those mushrooms in the dark being fed a scheduled Many of us in Europe cannot receive an television at All.

Brun sum Netherlands a save us from a savings i noticed several letters recently regarding cafes taking Over thet stripes bookstores and the savings which would result for customers. Cafes savings for All abound. On nov. 21,1 went to a Burger bar near the Pitburg base Exchange for a cup of hot chocolate. When delivered i was astonished to see that the Price was 95 cents since i had had amp cup a week earlier for the . Forward presence in Europe is the foundation for an economic relationship that last year resulted in Over $235 billion in Trade Between the United states and our european partners. Id say our military investment 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 ahead. A capt. Gordon i. Peterson v director Public affairs . European command. A a a a a a Val Hongen Germany some demanding Job the family child cure provider from Heidelberg big shoes to fill nov. 8gave a very Clear picture of what it is like to be a Home Day care provider a through the army. I am a provider who lives in Kaiserslautern area. We fall under the air Force regulations. We also must go through extensive background checks have our Homes inspected by environmental health specialists fire and safety inspectors and our family child care coordinator. There Are also monthly unannounced inspections. All for the Protection and safety of your children. The a rules and regulations seem to change every month. This Means there is More paperwork stress and responsibility placed upon us. The Job of a Home daycare provider is awesome. We Are responsible for the children we care for. That Means daily planned activities nutritious meals Ana snacks and a clean Safe and fun environment. Five Days a week rain or Shine. Furthermore there Are provider who give additional care on nights and weekends. A being a Home Day care provider is a very demanding Job. It takes a special person to be there for you and your child. So if you Are fortunate enough to have one of the few rare gems out there a let her know she a appreciated and is doing a great Job. I have four full time positions. I charge $75 a week. After my expenses which Are food supplies and a social Security tax of 15.6 percent i make $2.06 an hour. We Are not subsidized Here in the Kaiserslautern area. It. A a Ann Shelrah Kaiserslautern Germany a a a a a a a personal Challenge in response to a stick to basics nov. 19i like to prove the writer wrong in his statement saying a. I am highly sceptical that women have the physical capability to do Many of the army s physically demanding i personally Challenge him to an army physical readiness test contest. I agree that part should not be gender or age normed. However if a woman qualifies she be allowed to choose for herself whether to be an infantry person or should we continue having ignorant men who have no Deit Shat women Are Able to do make that decision. 1 have a lot of female friends Many very athletic. I know that Many of them would outperform physically Many of infantrymen i see around. A Venka l. Hedges.
