Why does the military need good mentors? I

Issue:
I am writing in regards to the crosswalks on the south side of base, especially the one between the medical clinic and bowling alley and the one between the post office and Service Credit Union. Drivers on these two streets are paying absolutely no attention to either the speed limits or the pedestrians already in the crosswalks.

Recently, I decided that I would like to gain membership in the Air Force club system. I was informed that the only way I can become a member was to accept an application for a credit card.

Q: How can I be sure my vote will be counted?

BALAD, Iraq  

Recently, I took my child to the E.R. at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Shortly after we arrived, a higher ranking nurse walked in with her child. Her baby was not crying because of pain, while my baby was shaking and screaming. We were waiting for about five minutes when she was called back first, before the people who were waiting longer. Ninety minutes later, we finally saw the doctor. I feel I was treated unfairly because this woman was higher ranking.

I want to remind everyone that it is mandatory for all U.S. personnel to wear helmets while riding bicycles or skateboards on any installation within the KMC.
