Frustrations over mold, pests and security concerns front and center in Army barracks survey
What’s old is new, except for your barracks, which are still old (and moldy) apparently.

USACE Fort Meade Bay Area Office Project Engineers Marcus Bryant, Melvin Damoudt, and Captain Anthony Adams inspect construction progress at the Freedom Center barracks project, designed to support present and future warfighters. The $38 million development features two multi-story buildings with 190 personnel capacity, offering modern accommodations including living/sleeping rooms with semi-private baths, walk-in closets, and kitchen/living areas. The complex incorporates advanced security through intrusion detection systems and energy monitoring capabilities, reinforcing the Army and NSA's commitment to providing high-quality housing for service members. Scheduled for completion in October 2025, this project represents a significant investment in military readiness and quality of life.

Results of an Army barracks survey reiterated more of the same old problems that soldiers living in barracks have brought up time and time again — mold and pest infestations, maintenance delays, privacy concerns and security issues.

The Army worked with CEL & Associates, Inc., a company that does tenant satisfaction surveys to assess living conditions and service quality among over 93,700 soldiers living in 785 unaccompanied housing buildings at 46 bases — mostly made up of barracks, along with five private-run apartments. The survey, the first of its kind, was conducted from March to May 2025, and the findings were compiled in a June report viewed by Task & Purpose.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

For how many years has this been going on?  Here's the solution.

Declare themselves as illegal immigrants.  If people can change their sex by saying so, why not their immigration status?  That will bring support from the entire democrat party and, with enough rinos, they get legislation to clean up the mess. Simple! :beer:
