Bring on the ICE Praise Auto Skills Shop/RB- Comment: The manager Larry should receive a thumbs up for outstanding service and outstanding attitude (which is very rare at Auto Crafts Shop's Staff.) If we could only have 3 more of Larry's in the world of auto craft this would be a better world. MWR needs to invest in his shop which is needing an upgrade, the building is code yellow. All I can say is Go Larry GO keep up the good work! _________________________________________________________________________ Housing/RB - Comment: I would like to say that Mrs. Zeilman at housing is awesome. In all my years of any civilian run office she has been the most knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. Many civilians are rude to soldiers but like I said she made me feel comfortable that she was taking care of my situation. I'm glad to have encountered her in my trip for housing. ______________________________________________________________________ CDC/RB Comment: I just love Jeanine S because she always makes things easier on me. When I am running late or when I need anything. Thanks a Million. Please let them know about this. __________________________________________________________________________ ODR/MP - Comment: I would like to ask that Hans Hathaway be commended for his outstanding support during last weekend's Eger River Hunting Trip. I travelled from Heidelberg, and Hans' efforts made the trip worth going for. Great job and thanks! __________________________________________________________________________ Teen Center/RB - Comment: Postal Service/MP - Comment: Mr. The best part about the Goodloe made an informative and Warner Brothers trip was the practical presentation for mailing scary rollercoaster . That ride downrange to our FRG group. He was off the chain. did an outstanding job.

Legal Services/RB - Comment: Daniel Lindsey went above and beyond to try and contact me, since my husband was out of the country and couldn't be reached, and follow up with me regarding our taxes. Normally people give up when the contact information on file isn't sufficient, but Daniel looked me up on global to track me down to be sure we didn't miss out on getting out taxes turned in. Awesome customer service. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Housing/RB - Comment: I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Vilseck housing office especially to Mrs. Rosemarie Wiesheu, whom I think should be awarded the “thumbs up” award. Her selfless service and dedication to servicing the Soldiers and family members surpasses even the highest standards. Mrs. Wiesheu went above and beyond for services of myself and my family. Outstanding job! Keep up the great work! And don’t forget, that it is Mrs. Wiesheu that should receive this prestigious award. Thanks. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 2 of 5

UPDATE on Services Provided by the Bavarian News July 20, 2011
VAT forms applicable to TKS Services HEIDELBERG, Germany - Installation Management Command Europe officials announced today that eligible U.S. Forces Telepost Kabel-Service customers will be able to use Value Added Tax forms to avoid paying VAT taxes on their landline telephone and Internet service beginning Aug 1. All U.S. DoD personnel or ID card holders that normally qualify for German VAT exemption will now also be able to save 19 percent on their monthly TKS bills. The authorization to use VAT forms applies only to existing and new TKS services that run on a month-tomonth basis. Contracts with a minimum duration of one or two years do not qualify for a VAT exemption. The basic premise is that TKS adjusted their product offering so that the landline phone service can now be put on a month-to-month subscription rather than a 1- or 2-year contract. Members are responsible for tracking, proper processing, and turn in of used VAT forms. White and pink copies of the VAT Forms turned in to TKS for processing tax-free landline phone service will be mailed back to the customer. For more information call your local VAT office, TKS outlet, or the IMCOM Europe program management at DSN 370-7503.
