Grew up in Army entire life, then joined Army at 17 . everywhere was different but the same ?? Ive live all over the country and world. I can say we always lived in nice quarters. My longest wait for housing was going to be about 9 months so we bought a house there instead, BAH is a good thing, living out from under military housing thumb is a really great thing.DJ, I am not ashamed to say that I lived in a few trailer parks in my youth. Anyhow, they were always much happier places then.
It's always impossible to get good housing when you move from base to base. You are put on a waiting list and in the meantime you rent a motel or a trailer or some ramshackle house you can get fast. It was always at least 90 days to get on-base housing. On half the assignments we never did get in; bumping around from one dump to another, as better or cheaper housing became available, with most of our goods in storage and living out of boxes.
I don't think trailer parks have changed that much...improved probably...but people have slipped a lot.

I'm impressed that it didn't blow apart in his face.
