I have privacy, and my roommate, Amy Lewis, and I get along great. Sorida and I are close, and it makes coming home to my barracks room more agreeable. The roommate scenario is not the only thing making these Sailor's lives more enjoyable in the BEQs. Many have kitchenettes to cook small meals and laundry services on every floor. As a whole, life in the barracks is better now than it was 30 years ago when I lived in them.
Sailors deserve nice accommodations.
And Sailors around the country and the world are getting those accommodations. The BEQ metamorphosis is apparent on installations all over. This construction is forging a new future in the way our Sailors will be housed. I have everything I need, like computer hook-up, cable, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. A place out in town would probably cost a ton.
