One of the units listed that will be open a to women without further study was Forward maintenance support teams in division Forward support battalions. I am currently assigned to the 125th Forward support in part of the 1st army div. Women have been assigned to the Mats at least since october of 1990, when i arrived in Germany and have served with distinction. In fact one of our female noncommissioned officers in an most recently was inducted As a set. Morales club member. Are the Secretary of the army and his chief of staff unaware of women in Mats or is your Washington Bureau reporter in error what gives a sgt. 1st class William p. Paquin Mannheim Germany a a a a a a thursday morning blues every thursday morning soldiers conduct Quot sergeants As i understand it Quot sergeants time is a time for enlisted military members to train in Mission essential task list Metal without interruption. That sounds simple enough but in feet there is More to it than just training for the soldiers. For example on thursday mornings if i need to run errands i can go to the Bank credit Union or Bunde Spost because these Are run by civilians and Are open. But i can to go to the Post Exchange Post office finance Center or pick up my dry cleaning. The pm and dry cleaning facilities Are run by civilians so Why Aren t they open on thursday mornings the Post office and finance Center Are run by the military but at the Post office there Are some civilian employees who work at the customer service counter and the Cashiers at the finance Center Are civilian employees. So Why Are these facilities completely. Closed Down Why these facilities be open but have wednesday february 2,1994 limited services by the description of a a sergeant a time a on duty enlisted military members should be the Only people affected by the change of schedule on thursday mornings. But Quot sergeants time has a crippling effect on everyone. I am sure i am not the Only military dependent who has questioned the thursday morning closures of certain offices and facilities. I would greatly appreciate a credible and authoritative answer. A a. Young Stuttgart Germany Aid americans first maybe someone can explain Why our government does no to care about people to the United states. We spend billions of dollars helping other countries which Isnit a bad thing. But it be better to help the sick hungry and homeless in the states first 1 our government just sent $700,000 Worth of medical supplies and is planning to Send a $7 million Hospital plus $25 million in Aid to Belarus. How Many sick children and elderly could use this help at Home we feed countries that turn around and kill our soldiers while people go hungry each night in All parts of the country. As the wife of a Soldier i understand that my husband May be called to serve our country in assisting another country. It sure would make me feel better to know that he was helping our country and people rather than someone thousands of Miles away. Can to we As taxpayers do something about our leaders disregard for americans we re paving the Bill. Letus decide who gets few first. If our government gave As much free Money to us As it does to other countries who could possibly go to bed hungry or homeless a Sheila Beall Giessen German enforce the Laws i noticed increased military police patrol activity in and around our housing area.

Last week the United nations confirmed numbers reported by bosnian prime minister Haris Silajdzic during december people in bosnian controlled territory got about 5.5 pounds of undelivered food each. In serbian controlled territory in Bosnia people got More than 9 pounds. In croatian controlled territory 21 pounds. A . Official attributed the discrepancy to serbian and croatian military superiority . Food is a weapon that the serbs and croats had been using aggressively. Serbian and croatian interference with . Relief deliveries to the bosnian has been ratcheted up sharply during the last three months in a Patent attempt to Force the bosnian to accept the partition of their country that has been urged upon them by the european Union and the United nations itself. The bosnian Are asked to Trust with no evidence that if they agree to a parti on lion the West will enforce it. They have declined to agree maintaining bitterly that the suspension of , Relief shipments to Central Bosnia at the instigation 1 of . Peace negotiator Thorvald Stol Tenberg shows . Complicity in the Effort to Force Bosnia a hand. Whatever the intentions the effect is Clear Bosnia is starving and panic is beginning to set in. Last wednesday a Relief Convoy passing through Central Bosnia under government escort was set upon by a desperate mob. Nato has promised airstrikes should Bosnia be threatened with a strangulation a and Britain France and the United states called on in. Secretary general Boutros Boutros Ghali to press ahead with planning for the strikes. President Francois Mitterrand and Premier edouard Balladur of France went a step further. Rather than just Call for airs trikes they insisted that the United nations had the authority to Call for nato troops to relieve the besieged towns of in Tula and Srebrenick. The american response to the French statement has been confused. Though president Clinton has stressed that great harm will be done if the nato threat proves Idle the state department has bitterly criticized the French demands on the illogical ground that the proposed partition of Bosnia is unacceptable. The peace proposal is indeed unacceptable and the american demand that nato ground troops in Bosnia be european remains reasonable. But these positions can be distinguished from support for a prop Sauto militarily guarantee Relief deliveries and so Avert impending genocide. France deserves credit for holding nato to its word and the United nations to some accountability. President Clinton should recognize that his own credibility will suffer As much As that of nato or the United nations if this proposal Falls to american sniping.
