Wg13, Welcome to the year 2014.
It's not 1914 so why do you expect people to live in conditions like it still is?
Today, servicemen and women can make a career choice to stay or PVR. There is other jobs out there where you don't live in a flea pit and eat red cross food parcels. I've seen more comfortable prisons (on tv) than Akrotiri transit accommodation.
My Line Manager used to say "if you don't like it you can PVR". Now he's moaning about the lack of qualified and experienced manpower.
