3/7/2008. The Army is investing 40 billion dollars over the next five years to build and refurbish facilities world wide. This benefits the entire Army family. Mary Cochran reports how the upgrades effect single Soldier living at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii.
I lived in B Quad, B725 1977-1979 except lifeguard duty at Fort Derussy for 6 months. Thanks Uncle Sam and all the chicks that slept with me.

My Dad was 1SG HHC 1/61 61-64. I remember those bays and living conditions from my time when I went in the Army in 71. Times change.

Hey Pudgy Dog! I thought our barracks were just fine., kind of like civilian college dorms. But two blocks over, man, the 25th was not living in comfort. No one would say the 25th doesn't deserve comfortable barracks... when they ARE on base. God bless them. Everytime I see the Army getting into a skirmish, I pray, but double it for our cuzins in the 25th. Spec. Mark Newman, Schofield Barracks 1986 to 1988 4th Platoon Bravo Co. 732nd of the 703rd Intel. (now called something like the 500th...)

I was in C-Quad (Bldg 357) from JUL 92 to APR 95 in B-4/22. I kind of miss the old 4-man rooms and latrines across the lanai. In the other 14 years I was in I never had better buddies than I made there.
