That’s all well and good and makes perfect sense. But to BUY something you use a couple times of year? That’s nuts and not good stewardship of our money. You HIRE a contractor to bring one in for the day.
More importantly, why aren’t charges like this being thrown against the Awans? They are a special class protected by Democrats. This is another perfect example of the double standard in American justice. The little guys get hammered while the protected guys get away with murder (so to speak).
My apologies, it isn’t something used just a couple of times a year. Regular families can sign it out for family parties, neighborhood block parties, unit special events, special MWR or AAFES promotions, etc. They do not normally sit in a warehouse gathering dust. The dunkbooths, referenced in an earlier post, really get used in warmer environs.
It's not our money. MWR is a non-appropriated fund. The money come from fees, rentals, donations, etc.
The contractor will make money on this every time he rents it to you. Far better to buy one and have the profit stay with the service.
