Questions/Comments 

• Barber Shop – Pay for 5 haircuts and get one free (For 

Children) 

– Customer commented that the barber shop did not honor this 

promotion on a recent visit 

– AAFES manager will make sure the contractors are honoring 

the promotion 

• Why does TKS only offer a package deal? Is it possible 

to just get certain options such as only internet or cell 

phone? 

– AAFES Manager is aware of the issue and will address with TKS 

• Vehicle Registration – Why is Vehicle Registration an all 

day event? 

– Response – Manpower shortages during the PCS season 

caused delays. Currently working on cross training employees 

to reduce the back log 


As of 110815 1100A

Commander’s Comments 

• Everyone should start thinking about Inclement 

Winter Weather 

– Change to winter tires by the end of October 

– Closing or delay of base operations is based on observing the 

road conditions on and between installations 

• Use personal judgment if it is unsafe to travel where you live 

• Please understand that due to budget restraints 

there are some support programs and activities that 

may be reduced
