The single soldiers from my Unit were shown last week the "new" single quarters that they would be moving into come the summer of this year. We were dazzled by the 4 soldiers sharing one bathroom design - sure hope they can all fit into one stand-up shower stall in the mornings after PT.... but the were blown away by a "wheelchair accessible" room.
While all other soldiers will be stacked in like cord wood into the newly renovated (and now much smaller) rooms - the ground floor corner rooms are being modified with larger access doors, a sit-down shower stall and lowered sink vanities.
Now, it may just be me, being an old soldier who's out of touch with the times - but since when have we required permanent single quarters for those physically challenged who happen to be wheelchair-bound?
With our modern world of political correctness - is this too much?
