None of our barracks has air conditioning. That's what the windows are for.
I’ve seen buildings condemned by the Air Force re-utilized as-is by the Army.
Uh well, that's the Air Force. I haven't seen such barracks, but the USAF has extremely high living standards. Those of us in the Army (and even some in the Air Force itself), call airmen Civilians in Uniform. When I was in Pensacola and lived in Navy barracks for 5 months - they were basically hotel rooms - the Air Force would have considered it substandard living conditions, if it wasn't for the big screen TV in their CQ.
THAT is the major reason why I didn't join the Chair Force. The Army is exactly the right branch for me. Although the USAF seems to have all the good-looking females :-)
Because you don't like air conditioning?
“THAT is the major reason why I didn’t join the Chair Force. The Army is exactly the right branch for me. Although the USAF seems to have all the good-looking females :-)”
The main reason I joined the Air Force was I love airplanes and wanted some technical training. Also it wasn’t the Army. My two brothers were squids so I couldn’t go there. And of course the good looking babes were in the Air Force, not too many in my day.
I don’t mean to start the Army / Air Force war again (we all know the Army would lose), just stating my personal observations that the Army places a LOT less emphasis on the living conditions for its troops. Of course the Navy and Air Force have better technical training IMO so they have to work harder to keep the people they’ve put a year or two of school into.
