However, in the great wisdom of the Army some of these buildings that were put up during WWII are still in use. I went into work late one day during the Christmas season to be met by a coworker standing in water almost to his knees, assuring me he had "everything under control." This was a one story building with all the pipes in the ceiling, right under the poorly insulated roof. I looked up and saw the ceiling tiles actually buckling as if a giant worm was crawling along them, from room to room. There was a frantic man with a broomstick running along the hall poking holes in the tiles as he ran to take the pressure off, so little streams of water were fountaining down everywhere. It was like something out of a comedy movie. Ah, good times.  |
I've spent a great deal of time in the old WWII barracks and they are MISERABLE! fortunately I wasn't in them for either basic or advanced training, but the little time I did spend in them was enough!
