The BOQs I stayed in as a civilian Navy employee looked like furnished cinder-block prison cells. This public/private partnership looks like a great deal, esp. in expensive housing markets like San Diego.

Public private partnership is another name for fascism. It sets up unconstitutional relationships between businesses and the government. It gives the business too much power in the government, as the business becomes a ‘partner’ and indivdiual citizens lose their authority. In public private partnerships, the government now has a vested interest in seeing one business , their partner, succeed over all other, violating equal justice directives of Constitutional law.

Public private partnerships were begun in socialist europe and brought here by globalists who saw that 1. it would give foreign corporations unfettered access to politicians in domestic affairs, 2. it guarantees income to them based on US taxpayer dollars, which is a crime against the founding of this country and the purpose as stated by our founders, of the government.

The chief of naval operations wants the Navy to earn a spot on one of those Best Employers lists that magazines run.

Thank you LA Times for the best laughing fit I've had since the mid-90's.

I spent two years, three months and fifteen days on the USS Princeton as a young Marine. Even though we had half a crew - 1100 vs 2400 - there was no extra space. Every inch was converted to squadron and grunt quarters. We had four high bunks, 50 to one compartment.

It got worse! We had to spend six months in drydock for a FRAM modernization and had to move to a barracks ship. We were as snug as elephants in a wall locker.

We I left and was transferred to MCAS Beaufort, I thought I was in heaven. Four men to a cubicle and privacy to boot.

These men deserve all the comforts we can give them.

Semper fi.
