    Lol, probably the least of their worries, virmin, terrible (likely carcinogenic) water, and mold are all standard in barracks.

    While I was on my second deployment, we got word that our barracks were finally being renovated. Primarily to remove the asbestos...

    We were also fed a line that the rooms would have increased square footage which would allow more senior enlisted to have less or even no roommates. This was a concrete building with a fixed number of rooms... At a barracks that was already at max capacity. Somehow they thought that more space in the rooms would make that math work out. 🤷‍♀️

    Anyway, when we got back they actually recessed the doors into the rooms, decreasing the square footage of all the rooms. Yeah...
