Don't know about secure, but I always sleep like crap the first night I stay for duty" Open bays, semi-private barracks, hotel/lodging for NCOES; doesn't matter. But by the next night I sleep like a baby.

SPC Margaret Higgins - Thank you.. yes I was overseas in a barracks 68-70, I only felt Secure because the entire base perimeter was under the watchful eyes of the US Marines, and their constant patrols.. Being radio comms., very sensitive information.. the US Marines constantly secured any change relating to area perimeters, Very secure, Thank You, Marines
