What Big Navy will do to fix its housing problem

By: Mark D. Faram    17 hours ago

Fearing that they’re losing the trust of sailors and their families living in base housing, Navy leaders on Saturday ordered subordinates to quickly contact their personnel and start fixing problems ranging from life-threatening mold infestation to wastewater leaks and crumbling structures. Signed by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russ Smith, NavAdmin message mandates that every sailor must be contacted by April 15.

Both CNO and MCPON acknowledged that the military’s oversight of privatized partnership arrangements grew “too passive, leaving the day-to-day operation of the housing program to the residents and the private partners.”

Investigative reporting by Reuters has revealed atrocious conditions for military families nationwide, including pervasive lead poisoning risks for children and houses bepopulated by mice and mold spores.

I'd bet that the Pentagon is trying to use up money for military construction projects, before the Comb over Twinkie, is able to get his hands on it!!!
