Army Barracks Housing Video Stirs Pentagon To Investigage All Housing

Army-barracks-videoCongratulations to all who got behind the effort to alert Congress and the Army about the deplorable conditions at Fort Bragg. The Army launched a worldwide investigation into all barracks in the system to discover the level of housing issues our soldiers face.

Great job and this should make the homecomings easier for America’s heroes.

Brig. Gen. Dennis Rogers, who is responsible for maintaining barracks throughout the Army, told reporters at the Pentagon that most inspections were done last weekend but he had not seen final results.

While not providing specifics about problems discovered during the weekend inspections, Rogers indicated some deficiencies were corrected. In cases where extensive repairs are deemed necessary, the soldiers in that housing would be moved elsewhere until the fixes are completed, he added.

Rogers said it was too soon to know whether the Fort Bragg problem was an isolated incident. He acknowledged the revelations from a video shot by the father of an 82nd Airborne Division soldier showing poor conditions such as mold inside the barracks, peeling interior paint and a bathroom drain plugged with sewage. via  Yahoo!
