Re: You're all in the Navy Now!


I know, and I respect your opinion too. It's okay, disagreeing is fine.

And my primary concern does lie with the single soldier (as a BOSS representative). I personally think the single soldiers have been put on the back burner and their needs are not being adequately met - at least not where I'm at. That in itself is a whole different topic.

Yes. I've done BOSS in the past, and from what I can tell, the success of the program is totally dependent on the command climate. Personally, I always wanted to see less focus on trips and concerts, etc - and more focus on why so many of us live in barracks that, quite plainly, suck. With plumbing that sucks. With dayrooms that look like they were furnished with rejects from a college frat house. Obviously, we can't all live at the Ritz, but something better than what we have would be nice.

Especially these barracks here at Ft H. No one really cares, because they're "just TDY barracks". Hello, we're here for 4 months! I'm not talking about stuff like why we don't have carpet, I'm talking about why we don't have stuff like toilet paper.
