Well, pretty hard to keep mold down on a base which only changes the post-wide heating to air conditioning once per year, and vice versa once. The explanation I got was that it is too hard/expensive to change it more often than that.
Imagine how many hot days occur after the first cool evening, and how many cold days after the first heat wave.
When you get hot days in NC year round, and the heat is still on and cannot be turned off, like we had this spring, it sucks pretty bad.
I would guess a good number of the quarters here are more than 40 years old, some a lot older.
Cutting maintenance funds to pay for the war doesn't help either. A buddy who was the post commander for Bragg told me that he was funded at less than 30% of what was required to keep things in good repair.
