A new government report detailed the dire living conditions some military members face in their barracks across the country, highlighting a problem military leaders have so far struggled to fix.

A report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that young troops living in barracks on military installations have been forced to confront everything from pests such as roaches and bed bugs to toxic waste and even squatters, potentially putting the health and safety of members at risk while damaging morale.

The 118-page report, which was published Monday by the GAO, concluded that military leaders at the Pentagon have not been able to provide proper oversight over the problem and have mostly left the issues up to each individual service to fix.

This guy I knew in Chicago who was an escapee from Maryville, his kid brother joined the Navy. He likely did his basic at Great Lakes Naval Station in north suburban Chicago.

It was funny, he lived on second floor on Montrose. He would pull down the shades on the windows. They had initials S-C-R for Simon City Royals.

The Ricans tried to throw full size bricks at them but couldn't do it. ;)

Great, because the troops are squatters wherever they go in the world.
