I have driven through a couple of posts and bases, only to find that there is a trend: On-post areas designated for seniors recieve better care. One can argue that higher rank should indeed recieve better living quarters based on work put in by the individual to gain that benefit; I am not arguing that. One can also argue that if lower rank wants nice facilities, they should either 1. Get promoted, or 2. Take care of their own area. My question is, do the last two arguements hold any truth.

All personnel, regardless of rank or position, deserve suitable housing.
Maintenance of housing areas is a shared responsibility between the residents and the garrison command. If residents think they are not being treated fairly, they and their "mayors" should voice their concerns with the garrison command and the chain of command.

We lived in "premium housing" on Hurlburt Field, FL, and ended up putting in our own yard and back deck. Ours was no better than our TSgt friends down the block.

When I served with Lt Custer (that's a joke) we maintained the area (lawn) around our quarters and it had to meet standards.
The quarters were maintained by CES for maintenance, but cleanliness was the occupants responsibility.
All common areas of the base were maintained by the government (sometimes with members pulling detail)
What I now see in many common areas receiving little or no care.
It saddens me to see the shape of the base near me.
