This stay was around 1993. The BOQs were very old. Anyway, after I check in, I discover the cable hardly works - only get court tv and a Hispanic channel. I also discover the heat doesn’t work. So, I fill out the required maintenance form, and turn it in...to a guy who laughs in my face and sarcastically promises to fix things...btw, this is one of the reasons I fear Obamacare - I KNOW what its like when you have to get a service from the government, with no other options.
Anyway, in the evenings I binge watched the Menendez trial (and the occasional scantily clad gameshow hostess on Spanish tv), sitting next to an iron for heat (I’d leave it on for hours). Sometimes I just ran the hot water for a few hours in the shower to heat things up. I know - its FT Benning, but it was winter. The hall lights were always on, and I could peek under my door and see the giant roaches crawling around - so I put the legs of my bed in buckets of water to keep them off of me while I slept.
Glad it got better.
Sounds like what I remember; by 2012 time frame it was actually quite nice. Buckets under bed legs is smart. Fort Leavenworth was/is (as of 2014) still very much as you described; no heat and only thin sheets on the bed, could only get one of the ‘70s era OD green Army blankets at desk, and no hot water during one stay, plenty of roaches. I do believe they were planning to renovate, but I heard that several times and every time I went back out it’s the same.
