I have to agree that this could be a good place to talk about current issues without just sharing stories of MQs past.

I watched the video and was genuinely saddened that there are people in charge of the quarters that clearly think it is acceptable to place families in such appalling conditions.

My abiding memory of the MQ experience will always be the heartless and unhelpful staff at the regional HQ that you have to deal with during the whole process.

Many people in such jobs seem to forget they are dealing with real people and have no humanity it seems.

Stn/base/garrison Cdrs need to be made aware and refuse to let their people live in such accommodation.

I currently live in service families accommodation (4000 miles from the UK though!) and although we have our problems one thing I will say is that when we report stuff it gets fixed (to varying degrees!) almost immediately. It actually puts the UK system to shame.
