Try going to 2/2s bks on camp lejeune, all of the shit wrong with the Bragg barracks couldn't been prevented if you field day every week and don't get drunk and break shit, thats why in the marine corps, we do field day every week because why make shitty barracks even shittier?
I worked under USAG-HI for a few years and watched millions of dollars in renovations occur for soldier housing. When I first got there, disgusting conditions existed in 9000 block. A trash strike had left every base dumpster overflowing right after thanksgiving. Maggots were in ant like colonies streaming out of them. Medical barracks all had this stuff before I left and most of 9000 block was renovated. Few 9000 block rooms remained occupied.
"get over it" are you kidding me? people are so desensitized to other people's problems.... just because you may have gone through it doesn't make it right!!!!! no one should be forced to live in substandard conditions anywhere on this earth!!!!!!
@Rawbutto, I posted a response, so I wasn't talking. As for rolling in the mud, I done it as an 11B,11H, and 11M. I have honorable discharges from the U.S. Marines and Army. Like most Americans, I am entitled to an opinion, so I will not get off the internet. I will continue to annoy crybabies like you.
I remember those days. Yeah conditions were bad, but we made the best of it. Some of the best days of my life. We just got out of the barracks. Fayettnam had some badass bars. I miss Jesters Pub.
I was stationed Ft. Bragg 26 years ago, Smoke bomb hill had fairly new barracks then. 82nd Airborne and Coscom were still using WWII barracks wooden on stiits.
But the conditions were not this.Even in the WWII buildings Am curious if this just a singled out sensationalized media play.
"it happens".. "get over it".."move on"...i would NOT HESITATE to put a bullet in the head of this REMF...he is nothing more than a modern day equivalent of a house nigga.
I was on the COSCOM side of Fort Bragg. When soldiers were complaining about the conditions in the barracks, the DPW civilians in charge told us to be glad that we are not in shelter halves. And to suck it up, drive on and stop bitchin.
@ttranccoc123 Thank you for your hateful response on the video. That was me in the video, and I'll let you know that A) The unit i was in at Walter Reed is for the WOUNDED, so no...we dont "expect" the lavish life B) BEFORE i got wounded i was at Campbell in barracks EXACTLY like those at Bragg....almost lost my rank a few times trying to fight our CMD about our living conditions. I said what i said because i know that no matter what the Jr. enlisted do.it will never go anywhere. It was edited.
Tough living conditions are part of being a soldier, it only makes you tougher. Recruits are aware of this when enlisting with the Army or Marines. i hope my living conditions are hard when i get there, it makes you stronger. you wont get a plasma screen and AC over seas...
@imperialwizard837 shut the fuck up. You don't know shit about the army yet or what its like when you get to your unit. Do you really want to LIVE in a shit hole like that?
@imperialwizard837 " That which does not kill you makes you stronger." -Freidrich Nietzshe . I served in the 508th in Ft. Bragg as a 11H20, and our living conditions were not that bad. When I went to the !st Armored in Germany, that was pretty fucking bad. Half the toilets didn't work and in the Jimmy Carter days, the Army couldn"t pay their coal bill for heat or hot water during the winter. If people want comfort, you need to join the Air Force.
@imperialwizard837 kid who plays too many games, probably watched a bit too much war flicks and now thinks he's the shit before BCT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

whats funny is they said they closed the fort bragg barracks down that were on the video yea right the moved people right back into them and they are just as bad if not worse than they were. Its really sad most of the toilets dont work there is mold, mice, and roaches in them still. Its really sad.
Starting at 1:17, I would tell that soldier, "Don't fuckin' give me that shit!"
That reflects a selflish attitude...only caring about himself. It had nothing to do with them not "toughin' up" to take it! Even as an airman stationed at Pope, I would have given up my barracks room(for a soldier) and I would just sleep on a cot in my shop.
I was in the Canadian reserves from 1996-2002 and I remember once we got to go to Ft.Knox and play for a week on tank simulators. The barracks we were assigned to smelled of urine and looked like it had not been cleaned for a month. We cleaned the place as much as possible but it still had that damn smell.
I've been in the army for 12 years. I've served at Bragg and now in germany. Since I've been in I've learned that many problems get fixed when important people get in trouble. They could care less about the soldier until it directly effects them. I'm not saying all leaders are like this you do have the few that actually give a damn. Unforunatly the majority of them are jerks.
You have touched on the exact problem that our website addresses. Soldiers need advocacy groups made up of voters, civilian and enlisted. When left up to the brass, its one bullshit lie after another.
I agree, the life of the miltary is not ment to be easy, but when they units are spending throusands of dollars on parades and dog and pony shows, then thats when officers and NCO's alike are just trying to impress others at the cost of the health of their soldiers, for example we live in the old 505 barracks on bragg and moldy tiles and ants in my bed were a part of that until we moved to new barracks. That part needs to change not to anything fancy, but be brought up to a healthy standard.
i mean i guess conditions could be worse... but come on, these guys were deployed in Afghanistan and thats what they had to come home to? It's a disgrace. Why don't we make high ranking, high paid members of our government stay in a place like this. Then maybe things would be different.
me and my buddies serve for your freedom to say all the stuff you just said on this video...without us you would have no freedom! if you hate it so much go to iraq...if not shut it
... I wont even point out the contradicting statements you just made.. actually I will.. first off I've been to Iraq, so if thats all the credentials you require i can continue, You said, My buddies and I serve for your freedom( freedom being constitutional rights) then you give them an ultimatum about the freedom of speech?next: Dont bragg about what you've accomplished in the military it's trashy and if you have self respect you dont need to say where you've been, just be proud of your unit

va chier criss d'enfant de pute.votre osti de gouvernement de marde s'en criss totalement de l'hygiène de vos soldat. spa pasque ton armée est de la merde en canne qu'il faut ke tu rabaisse celle des auters pays. criss de fag.
There is NO excuse for this shit. Now US Soldier/airman/seaman deserves to live in this shit period. Especially after coming back from overseas. I did time in the Army and the Air Force. USAF wouldnt let barracks get this bad. Whoever is responsible for this needs to be stripped of his commnd and dismissed from the service.
When I served on FT. Campbell and in Germany from 84-88 we did NOT have these conditions. At what point did the Army stop requiring soldiers to clean thier individual and common living space? I can't tell you how many gallons of paint I applied to my barracks walls during those four years. It was not a contractor doing it, my 1st Sgt would get us the paint and brushes and WE did it. While this IS undignified, do the returning soldeirs make an effort to begin to clean common areas?
haha soldiers would be little bitches about their living conditions, come to french creek camp lejeune or pretty much any barracks us marines have to live in
So.......have they fixed fort Bragg yet? Or are our Hero's still living in this unacceptable, horrible condition. This is just pathetic, if they were movie star's or NFL players, this wouldn't happen........it's just so backwards and it really upsets me a lot.
Honestly, im in the Army. and not all barracks are like Ft. Bragg, but they cant just say POOF new barracks, it takes time. honestly, if you think you could do better than these soldiers, please get off ur lazy fat ass and join up, show THE REST OF US what u can do..cause honestly, it is ppl like you who sit around watchin youtube talkin shit on US troops that makes you a piece of shit. Join up and do something about it, or SHUT THE FUCK UP
These aren't heros,these are war pawns. The barracks only mirrors the trailer trash lifestyles and supports the 2nd class citizen treatment that bottom feeder military members ALWAYS rcv. Circus peanuts pay, careers that damage them, lies, bait & switch, experimentation forced upon them, life draining deployments, conjugal deprivation, and as VETS: benefits denied, delayed, decreased! They return from WAR looking like the walking dead burn victims, amputees, ptsd's - if they make it out alive
So what are these guys doing all day and night? Back when I was in the military (not that long ago), we were expected to maintain the barracks (in addition to our regular duties). That included sanding, scraping, painting, minor or not-so-minor repairs, and general cleanliness. And if that required work "after hours," than after hours work it was. Have to do same for a home, so why not barracks? These guys, on the other hand, seem to be waiting for the butler and maids to do it.
i agree i got out not to long ago and most of these problems are the soldiers own fault for not caring for the barracks (except for plumbing problems) this looks like some one needs a new First sgt ,XO, and CMD because mine would have locked us in there untill it was all fixed the barracks i was in was solid concrete no ventilation at all mold problem was solved with EVERYONE bleaching EVERYTHING once a weak ,its the army you spend 40-50% of youre time cleaning GET OVER IT
whats that final comment all about, "get over it"? hes living with plasmas, macs, and a private kitchen, not with homemade toilet seats, mold, and backed up sewage!
yo dumbass ur just like everyone else... make comment on random things u hear without thinking... he said get over it cause he was going through it also and look where hes at now... OMG look how fucking retarded u r
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nort americans complaining about shits? while in the world there are millons of people dieing of hungry, thirsty,while little girls are fucked by criminals, while these soldiers are there only for KILL PEOPLE, KILL LIVES???
Nahhh only north americans can do such video, they have lots of free time and a full pocket of money.
Now complaining that the barracks dont have a full clean toilet with rose fragance, that because you destroy that youselves. In argentina we dont leave shit in the floor
Haha, kid maybe you accept your citizens getting raped by criminals but here in america it is not ok and we do things about it, Part of having a great country is not turning your head while your soldiers are forced to live in their own filth
Hey bitch, yeah we "kill lives" that is one of the US fighting forces jobs but we also help out with the other counrtys that have people starving. Plus "nort americans" dont always have full pockets of money me im 16,000 dollars in the hole right now. Question to you, how shity do you have it in Argentina?
you have no clue what you are talking about...as far as money, dude i broke it down and i make $5 an hour..what the hell do you make!!??!! before you go judging soldiers be one...ohhhh wait you arent one so shut up!
I have been in the Army now 6 years and I can tell you that there are places that I wouldn't want to stay ten min. let alone live in, but what you have to understand is 90% of the time the soldiers living in the Barracks are lower enlisted E-4 and down. Most of which are 18-22 years of age needless to say they don't take care of the building in which the army gives them to live. Also do to there low rank even if they complain it usually goes no were.
I have friends that r n the army that stayn barracks,n i work in the dfacs on ft bragg.The barracks shown r very disgusting and nasty.Even n the dfacs the sewer lines get clogged up all the time.spc wesley crause says to deal with it thats easy for u to say look at what ur staying in. Your probly use to living in dirty conditions.The conditions were probly bad for u before but i dont think it wasnt as bad as how they are dealing with it now.y dont you give up ur room.
I live on Ft Bragg. Glad I have nice barracks. I have see the outside of those barracks, and those aren't the only ones that are messed up, however they could have taken some effort on their own and fixed up where they live. We have barracks maint. days to clean our barracks, they should to. And to the SG that just fkin cardboard made a toilet seat, get real.. learn to spend a few bucks and buy a real seat.
Neikka, I don't know if you've noticed on the original video, but the building was well beyond some 'fixing up'. Plumbing, sewage etc. systems were broken down and malfunctioning. The Army General in-charge himself admitted responsibility for systemwide failure, so I'm not sure what was your point.
the soldier was RIGHT suck it up and move on...when we signed this contract we knew we werent going to get food delivered to us on a silver platter.the only idiotic mentality here is civillians not doing their part...we do this for you!...what do we get in return?higher death rates,your disrespect,and less benefits...thank you...serve your country before you boast your opinions about a soldier.
My friend lives there. He just got back from Afg. he was always so happy and livley but now... I have to say these conditions helped influence the crazy depression he's dealing with now. I live near Bragg, they just built all of these fancy neighborhood community centers equipped with plasma tvs everywhere and extravagant furnishings.....they could be done with those Barracks by now! Trust me.
all you fuck need to shove it, not ones have i herd anyone blame soldier yes i said it, im a sargeant in the army and Ive seen the way soldiers treat new barrack are any new equipment the army gives us, some of these soldiers come from homes where there mothers dont teach them to keep there rooms clean and other peoples especially goverment property in good shape so in my thoughts are the fault is 50/50. so all u war critics that are getting your war protest push up because of this video fuck u
These Barracks have been like this for years. Clean the Mold it bleeds right back through the wall tomorrow. You are being an idiot and making it easy for The Officers to embezzle funds for their own facilities and screw YOU. Go look at any Officers Facilities, then tell me what the Senior Officers Priorities are. Look at the IR Patches, they coast 3 times at Fort Bragg what they cost at Pope, who is screwing who there? The Money is going to the Officers Clubs, O Wives Club etc.
I dont understand the "suck it up!" people. There was black mold and lead paint! Thats the kind of stuff that needs to be fixed! Crappy food, bad beds, no internet, that stuff you can "suck it up". But the fort Bragg conditions? Thats gonna get soldiers sick eventually if its not seen too.
I spent 10 years in the military. This is nothing new, nor is it confined to the Army. The Navy's living conditions - especially on ships, are just as bad if not worse.
The point is, Americans nor the military brass, care how enlisted persons live.
Everytime these "scandals" break, the generals, admirals, and politicians talk about how we should be doing right by these guys
Don't enlist - if the enlistment numbers drop - you'll see living conditions and benefits improve dramatically
What are you talking about. The Officers Berthing and Facilities aboard Ship are TOP NOTCH.The Officers Club at Bragg has Teak Paneling and Micro Breweries on site all built within the last two years. They obviously care about someone.
I don't know where you were stationed, but I served 20 as an enlisted(1979-1999) and NEVER lived in a barracks like this. When I moved in town and visited friends from time to time they had really nice barracks too. Shipbard life can't really compare because that's a unique situation, but when you come ashore you have a nice barracks to go to.
The money is spent on Officer Benefits, that's why the barracks are like that. Look at the "O" Club at Ft Bragg, they have Micro Breweris=es on site, teak wood Bar, elaborate and extremely expensive furnishings, then look at "ANY" of the "troop facilities and you will clearly see where the problem is and what the root cause of the problem is. The Officers Corps and the "Officers Wives" stealing all the funding and benefits from the troops for themselves. Yes it is easy to prove and verify.
Hurry get that guy out of the army before he becomes reaches rank and puts his men in conditions like this. You bite your tongue. Thank God Mr Frawley has balls enough to do what he did. Personally I thank you for all the soldiers you helped. Im a single mother, they would have never let me in to see, so thank you. Sgt Frawley be proud of your dad. Army... why do we keep having to tell you how to care for your soldiers, Commanders shape up or ship out.
The comment the guy made at the end of the interview pissed me off. "Get over it"? Ya, ok. That mentality is why so many things in the Army are screwed up today. Those troops shouldn't have to "get over it". They should have been supplied with adequate housing. If adequate housing wasn't available they should have been given BAH, as stated in the video this is based on. This unit decided to f*** it's troops and save a buck instead. Good job Fort Bragg! You're doing the Army proud!
This is the wonderful Thanks that our Countries wonderful Military Men/Women get as a welcome Home. The United States Government doesn't give a Shit about our Soldiers or this countries Veterans.... People who served our Armed Forces for 20 years or more don't even get the benefits that where promised them when they enlisted.... This is downright sickening...
I lived in those terrible barracks for four years. Nothing eventually got better.
I dealt, but you can keep your glib comments to your fat self, troop.

I agree, the life of the miltary is not ment to be easy, but when they units are spending throusands of dollars on parades and dog and pony shows, then thats when officers and NCO's alike are just trying to impress others at the cost of the health of their soldiers, for example we live in the old 505 barracks on bragg and moldy tiles and ants in my bed were a part of that until we moved to new barracks. That part needs to change not to anything fancy, but be brought up to a healthy standard.

i mean i guess conditions could be worse... but come on, these guys were deployed in Afghanistan and thats what they had to come home to? It's a disgrace. Why don't we make high ranking, high paid members of our government stay in a place like this. Then maybe things would be different.

When I served on FT. Campbell and in Germany from 84-88 we did NOT have these conditions. At what point did the Army stop requiring soldiers to clean thier individual and common living space? I can't tell you how many gallons of paint I applied to my barracks walls during those four years. It was not a contractor doing it, my 1st Sgt would get us the paint and brushes and WE did it. While this IS undignified, do the returning soldeirs make an effort to begin to clean common areas?

These aren't heros,these are war pawns. The barracks only mirrors the trailer trash lifestyles and supports the 2nd class citizen treatment that bottom feeder military members ALWAYS rcv. Circus peanuts pay, careers that damage them, lies, bait & switch, experimentation forced upon them, life draining deployments, conjugal deprivation, and as VETS: benefits denied, delayed, decreased! They return from WAR looking like the walking dead burn victims, amputees, ptsd's - if they make it out alive

So what are these guys doing all day and night? Back when I was in the military (not that long ago), we were expected to maintain the barracks (in addition to our regular duties). That included sanding, scraping, painting, minor or not-so-minor repairs, and general cleanliness. And if that required work "after hours," than after hours work it was. Have to do same for a home, so why not barracks? These guys, on the other hand, seem to be waiting for the butler and maids to do it.

i agree i got out not to long ago and most of these problems are the soldiers own fault for not caring for the barracks (except for plumbing problems) this looks like some one needs a new First sgt ,XO, and CMD because mine would have locked us in there untill it was all fixed the barracks i was in was solid concrete no ventilation at all mold problem was solved with EVERYONE bleaching EVERYTHING once a weak ,its the army you spend 40-50% of youre time cleaning GET OVER IT

I have been in the Army now 6 years and I can tell you that there are places that I wouldn't want to stay ten min. let alone live in, but what you have to understand is 90% of the time the soldiers living in the Barracks are lower enlisted E-4 and down. Most of which are 18-22 years of age needless to say they don't take care of the building in which the army gives them to live. Also do to there low rank even if they complain it usually goes no were.

Neikka, I don't know if you've noticed on the original video, but the building was well beyond some 'fixing up'. Plumbing, sewage etc. systems were broken down and malfunctioning. The Army General in-charge himself admitted responsibility for systemwide failure, so I'm not sure what was your point.

These Barracks have been like this for years. Clean the Mold it bleeds right back through the wall tomorrow. You are being an idiot and making it easy for The Officers to embezzle funds for their own facilities and screw YOU. Go look at any Officers Facilities, then tell me what the Senior Officers Priorities are. Look at the IR Patches, they coast 3 times at Fort Bragg what they cost at Pope, who is screwing who there? The Money is going to the Officers Clubs, O Wives Club etc.

LaxMan851 3 years ago
I spent 10 years in the military. This is nothing new, nor is it confined to the Army. The Navy's living conditions - especially on ships, are just as bad if not worse.
The point is, Americans nor the military brass, care how enlisted persons live.
Everytime these "scandals" break, the generals, admirals, and politicians talk about how we should be doing right by these guys
Don't enlist - if the enlistment numbers drop - you'll see living conditions and benefits improve dramatically

What are you talking about. The Officers Berthing and Facilities aboard Ship are TOP NOTCH.The Officers Club at Bragg has Teak Paneling and Micro Breweries on site all built within the last two years. They obviously care about someone.
AbuBakerSmith 3 years ago
AbuBakerSmith...
Of course Naval Officers have top-notch faclities on ships. They're called State Rooms.
Enlisted live in squallor below decks while they live up top in comfort.
It's military tradition to treat enlisted to subpar living quarters while officers retain all the creature comforts.
You should make a vid of the newly built O-Club and compare them to shots of your dilapidated barracks...
IPOMonster 3 years ago
I don't know where you were stationed, but I served 20 as an enlisted(1979-1999) and NEVER lived in a barracks like this. When I moved in town and visited friends from time to time they had really nice barracks too. Shipbard life can't really compare because that's a unique situation, but when you come ashore you have a nice barracks to go to.
DebraErics 3 years ago
The money is spent on Officer Benefits, that's why the barracks are like that. Look at the "O" Club at Ft Bragg, they have Micro Breweris=es on site, teak wood Bar, elaborate and extremely expensive furnishings, then look at "ANY" of the "troop facilities and you will clearly see where the problem is and what the root cause of the problem is. The Officers Corps and the "Officers Wives" stealing all the funding and benefits from the troops for themselves. Yes it is easy to prove and verify.

Those troops shouldn't have to "get over it". They should have been supplied with adequate housing. If adequate housing wasn't available they should have been given BAH, as stated in the video this is based on. This unit decided to f*** it's troops and save a buck instead. Good job Fort Bragg!
