Wait, what? The Secretary wouldn't allow her daughters to live in the Army barracks? Then why do we subject other people's children to this?
"I've seen some barracks quite frankly I wouldn't want my daughters to live in," Wormuth said at a House hearing on the Army's budget.
Wormuth has made soldier quality-of-life issues a key component of her tenure, and troops have reported significant gains in areas directly under her control, such as improved parental leave policies that are more generous than those offered by the other services. But the Army has struggled to keep up with renovating its barracks and building new ones to replace living quarters infested with mold and suffering from aging infrastructure.

Lt Col Charlie Brown The government does need to do some serious work on barracks. I don't know if they still have squad bays but back in the day the ones I lived in at Camp Lejeune were in pretty poor condition. I can just imagine what they must be like fifty years later if they haven't been replaced yet.

The Air Force took on quality of life issues long ago. I would say that the Air Force has the best dormitories and housing out of all the branches.
