MG.....is my Sarcasm too deep for you?
The Title of the thread is...."Military accommodation not fit for animals".
Thus....if MOD bans animals....then the problem is solved.
That MOD forces humans into accommodation not fit for animals... is quite telling what it thinks of its Service Members and the families.
We had the same problem for years with each Service having different standards for housing particularly Enlisted Members Barracks accommodation.
After each scandal....a few very senior folks retire early with full pensions and some cheap paint, plaster, and bath fixtures gets applied to the places that generated the scandal.
Imagine, You do Fifteen Months in Combat....get re-deployed to your Unit Home Duty Station.....and you are confronted with this!
If I had been the Father....my Son would not be living in that Barracks for a single minute....but would be bivouac'd on the CG's front yard with me standing guard over him with a Media Film Crew in attendance.
Let the General explain that to the President that sent my Son off to war and the Media.
