Does anyone at Fort Polk know if the barracks are 95% full or if an NCO gets BAH not to stay in the barracks?

When you're in your middle 30's and you're in the barracks with a bunch of horny 18 to 25 that play loud music, fighting or breaking thing in the laundry room and CQ won't get off their lazy ass to do anything. I can't do there job for them. Solution: Take 350.00 to 500.00 from these officers that making twice or three times as much as the enlisted side and that can increase the BAH funds.

SSG(P) (Join to see) you are an NCO, if there's something going at the barracks that should not be happening, step up and correct it, or are you scared of a bunch of horny 18-25 junior enlisted Soldiers?

Your solution makes no sense. I can understand how you get upset with CQ not doing their job but to say "hey lets just take money from those that are commissioned does not make sense. How about the solution is you talk with you fellow NCOs and get the CQNCO to do their job. If they fail to do their job, there are ways to get that behavior corrected through the 1SG and/or CSM.

I'd prefer to get rid of the dorms entirely. Seems to me like we might actually save money if we stop maintaining them, not to mention the boost in productivity when you don't have to force an NCO to babysit grown adults.

Sir. Then you would have to babysit them at home. The majority of these young soldiers are just leaving home for the first time. If the military were to do away with it the US postal service would have to start working sundays to keep up with all the letters going to the coc for bills not getting paid.

Somehow, millions of civilian adults manage just fine on their own without their boss coming to their house once a week to do a white-glove inspection. The idea of putting everyone in a barracks is a holdover from when we actually had the time and manpower to police them. I submit that we have more important things for our NCOs to do than babysit new soldiers.
