Mine does not. I want it too. Everyone knows your business before you do. We signed for our quarters on july 5,1993. At that time there were Many prob lems one of which was a softball sized Hole in our Shower door. We still have the Hole among other problems. We arrived Here senior  officers. We had no sponsor no family support no Welcome. Most All of the enlisted wives have been cast aside by the unit and could not care  the family support group we Are trying to form now. The final and main problem with our Community is the fact that most of the people look out for no. 1. There seems to be very Little if any Community  support. Take a poll at the shop Pette.

Army Europe fro february 1988 until july 1993. I. Had the privilege to work in several worthwhile positions and serve with some Fine professional soldiers arid civilians. My family and i enjoyed Germany immensely and Hope someday to return to  in Germany my wife and i read the stars and stripes each Day and even managed to save a stack of special Issue that we brought Home. We enjoyed the stars and stripes but did t think that much about it. It was just there each  in july 1993, we returned to the United states. Here i am Able to read and enjoy a number of Good newspapers. Ona daily basis i can get the newspaper from Atlanta and Hinesville a.

Inman not Only did his Cia Job he did it Well. The Cia should consider interrogating Safire As a possible foreign agent. It seems to me based on the Admiral s testimony he should be at least listed As one. John r. Cant Rota Spain Citadel s Mission the Citadel the military College of South Carolina was established in 1842 with the Mission to provide the country Young men who have been taught High ideals Honor uprightness loyalty and patriotism. Furthermore with leadership training and professional knowledge Young men could take their places in the world through Competition with  state was Clear in defining its goals for the Citadel and in my opinion the Citadel was and continues to be Success Ful in carrying out its Mission. It is True that the Citadel provides a unique alternative in a Young Man s col lege education but is it really so unacceptable to allow a Young Man s prefer ence for an alternative in Public education finally should the american people in this land of the free further re Duce the education Choice of a Youngman 1st it.
