I can remember being stationed in Germany and living not on base but in a small town near the base. The military did provide some furniture for members at the time. In the on-base housing or established housing areas, each domicile was furnished.

The point is that there are service members here representing eras from Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1/2, Afghanistan, etc. I'd hazard to guess benefits, policies and procedures have varied quite a bit.

Regardless of those trivialities, in my 8 years I never heard of 'depravities' 'sex-dungeons' and the like. Frankly, something like that would be too hard to hide.

Thank you for your service as well.

Your comments about Germany are correct and well taken. Furniture is provided to military members serving overseas because of weight limits imposed on household good shipments. Furniture is not (and has not for at least the last 40 years) provided for CONUS locations. This event occurred in California and base housing in California is not furnished, but your point about Germany is well taken none the less.
