I don't know

I don't know the rest of the story as to "why" in that case.

But I do know that section of Gruber Road is under reconstruction. The contractors started up by Longsteet and are working their way through the old Division Block by Block headed to the Smoke Bomb Hill area and the old red brick barracks over there.

The buildings are stripped down and then all the hazardous stuff and recyclables are removed and then the building torn down, site prep and the new one put up.

Tents? Yeap, then cleaned up the troops and then sent them off on leave until the stiuation was resolved.

Clean up, inventory and Leave. Best thing for all involved.

Someone needs to take a "close" look at the general contractors.

Since the housing market took a dive, alot of residential construction contractors are jumping into the commercial "construction" market!

Stay safe.

If you think the video is bad you should see it in person.

When a certain NGSF company Mob'd last September the MUIC tried to house us in these same barracks (there was actually an army Reserve Tranpo Co and a NG engineer Co being housed in the adjacent barracks bldg.) Everyone in my company decided to stay out on the economy on their own dime of course.

I understand construction sometimes gets delayed for one reason or another and as such projects arent always get completed on time. This however is no excuse for what is being allowed.

Sad, truly sad.
