If these were their barracks, I suppose they were shut down, and locked up for a year and a half. No AC. So, throw in their age, this is to be expected. Anyways, two Sergeants can't get to Home Depot, get a toilet seat( $20, max ), shower curtain clips($2), a lock set ($20) a putty knife, bushes, bleach and Kilz paint?

The sewage comes from heavy rains, flooding the ground and pressurizing the septic fields and or a broken, blocked one way valve.

In the 80’s I lived at Bragg in ‘Old Division’. Old, wood, open bay WWII barracks. SF hand nice barracks, like these, only we hardly ever lived there. Usually in the worst base, if on base, buildings we could scrounge, or in a CONEX or in a truck or if we were on a usually nature hike, on the ground or slung between a tree. A lot of the mid 30 NCO’s looked 50 and had gray hair.

THese facilites were Identifed (and in the news) years ago because this is where National Guard troops were dumped pending disposition of medical issues.

Money has beentight for years due to CONGRESS not funding Operations - so the money is stolen fromother accounts - like facility maintenance.

Money quote “Robbing Peter to pay Paul’ JUst this Fiscal year they were talking of laying off Army civilian workers because of the stunts pulled by Nancy’e Army in Congress....tho her husband got his contracts funded - eh?
