As a former 82nd ABN Infantrymen I also lived in those same barracks. They were beat up twenty years ago too. Oh and by the way, we infantrymen did most of the damage to those barracks.
But as an Infantrymen it really didn't matter.... it's better than living in a foxhole full of water or a tent. I don't hear the infantry men bitching, just some guys father.
Hey "Dad", we (infantrymen) don't "live" in those barracks, just sleep and shower there. We live at Myrtle beach, downtown Fayetteville, etc. and all over the world. Now if you really want to be appalled just follow some of the infantrymen around the streets of Fayetteville.
