Pride a priority too Many times it is easy to criticize and find fault. Today i need to take the time to Praise both the army and an and dra mown what an adventure. Through All the boxes paper plates paperwork etc., i need to stress a Good feeling of the army does take care of . 27, we were going through the Joy of moving Day. One Packer arrived packed for two hours returned the next Day with two others with wet crates and no crate for our treasured Grandfather arrived represented by staff sgt. Tanner. His professionalism and knowledge were our saving an hour he arranged for a crate for our clock and dry crates and after shaking some boxes had them re packed. It May not sound like much but As we All know our household goods Are ours we take care of them and we expect the same from others. Sgt. Tanner is doing a temporary Job through draw Down yet his Pride for his Job and the army is still a priority. Cheri Smit Fulda Germany. ". Wait or the states i feel an Issue needs to be addressed. Every time i need to go to the Post Exchange at Wolfgang shopping Center in Hanau Germany i absolutely dread it. 1 leave there so frustrated and mad. Swear i la never go Back. But being that there Are not. Many if any other stores in that area to shop i More or less have to go.Back.-. The majority of the employees Are the rudest people i have Ever come in con tact with. And i know people say to give cafes employees credit. Well i think credit should be Given where it is due. I have been an employee of cafes Here in Europe. They teach you to be kind and courteous to customers through this so called orientation program. The also teach you to help customers. Well i can t recall being asked once in that store if i needed help. So try to get an employee to help you. That itself is an extreme shop at these Post exchanges either because it is cheap or they want Tobe around americans and feel a Little at Home. But i think on the other hand i la wait to buy the extras until i go Back tothe states where i will gladly pay extra for Good Quality and courteous service. Mary a. Shive Hanau Germany stick to schedule do you Ever wonder Why soldiers generally look harried and hurried take along hard look one Day and you will find some Grumpy mugs out there in Battle dress uniform Blu land. The writer of the positive Side said Don t plan things live one Day at a How can you have a life it you Don t plan there Are so Many variables out of the Soldier s control that an accurate training schedule is a must for a stable and Happy your military spouse feels like he or she is getting pulled several different ways at the same time perhaps a Strong hint to the command is in order refer ence sticking to a training schedule that s Why they make them. In my opinion a three month forecasts not too much to ask barring a National emergency or War the training schedule should be the Bible for planning. I smooth running organizations civilian and military a schedule improves in All areas. J remind your husband s command it s a lot different jumping through the hoop than holding it. Staff sgt. Russell w. Cd better Katterbach Germany ". Misleading article we Are amazed the stars and stripes found it acceptable to print the . Peacekeepers by George Jahn. A report Jan. 5. Is it truly Standar journalism to interview personnel during their visits to strip joints we have to wonder if we have been missing some thing during our tour at the 48th air transportable Hospital deployed to Zagreb Croatia by not visiting the Aloha club for to take anything away from the individuals who Are frequently under fire inthe areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina and some sectors of Croatia but it might have crossed the mind of the writer to inter View personnel who Are providing Excel Lent medical care to those wounded on the front lines. We can assure readers that sex and relaxation Are not daily events in Zagreb As portrayed in this Arti Cle. -. w. Moore Zagreb Croatia let buyer beware your recent buyer beware that the military member is sur rounded by Shady sales ethics. My wife and i recently realized Wiir own error in judgment by financing a furniture Pur Chase with a gentleman who has been a fixture in military housing areas for Many years. I la spare the embarrassing details and Cut to the Chase. He offers one percent per month financing. Seems reasonable until you realize that s a Flat rate $5,000 at one percent for 18 months equals $900 interest by his calculations. Wrong. The interest paid should be closer to $500,before i got smart i paid 21.6 percent and $550 More than i should have. The sch ranks and clocks Are Beautiful but buyer beware of the Good Deal in i sgt. Robert g. Abbott Rhein main a Germany really hard to take my life is finally Complete. At Long last the protector of All things american or at least conservative has come to of radio. Now we Are All Safe from All the environmental wackos and Fem nazis. This is truly a great Day. That s the one great problem with sarcasm. It does t come across very Well in the printed word. Actually i look for Wara to Rush Limbaugh s Snow on Amer ican forces network. It is great to have comedy show on five nights a week. I can t always catch the comedy hour on thursday january 13,1994 sundays but knowing i have an almost continual source of great comic Relief will make the Day to Day routine easier to Deal we re subjected to this celeb Rity " i Trust it won t be Long before of starts granting equal time and carrying Howard Stern s program. I find it really hard to believe that an could t find something better to broadcast at night. Sgt. Richard Mostead Brussels Belgium .-.�. Can t get enough of Rush the multitude of letters in the Sta Sand stripes about Rush Limbaugh finally made me curious enough to buy his latest Book see i told you so the no. 1bestselling hardcover. It was absolutely , i had to dust off and Hook up my tuner i had never listened Tofan radio before so that i could hear his show i would like to thank everyone who helped to bring the Rush Limbaugh show to american forces network. There s no wonder it has such a Large following stateside. The stars and stripes editorial Section is so liberally dominated that it s sickening to read. Their Bunch of Politi Cally Correct do goobers just treat the symptoms instead Jpn analysing the underlying problems. An radio has gained a regular listener. Now if Only the show were longer. John Owens Naples Italy. " � listeners let Down thank you for the Short article explain ing the an transmitter maintenance. The Frankfurt an transmitter has been Down for maintenance More during the past few months than during the previous 20 years. They Are Welcome to Correct me if this in t True. What happened to that Good old Relia ble transmitter that worked so Well when will this maintenance be finished will the american forces network the broadcast on the same frequencies and with the same Power output Why was the maintenance done during the very Early hours of the morning Why does t an go on the air and explain All this to us Loyal listeners that an had to be coerced into air ing Rush Limbaugh seems to indicate that they no longer listen to the Soldier s wishes.
