The new barracks were moved into 2 years ago. There is a PCF barracks (the army's halfway house for AWOLs and those that come from Brigs). There was talk of doing away with the PCF group, but don't think they will ever actually do that. Plus it wouldn't be big enough for 200 people let alone 600+. Now Sill is building another set of new barracks that are at least 6+ months from being done.
I used to work with a lot of the barracks and building dept people before I got out, hence where my info is coming from.
I think this week I may have to check with some of my old coworkers to find out more on all this. Its all blowing my mind.
Maybe we should send them back to their relatives in Mexico?
I doubt if the Army will have a big hand in the everyday care, support, and feeding of "Baraks Kids" per se. I am thinking contractors. Maybe local contractors. AKA Lawton folks making money. So far no outcry from Lawton officials. I could be wrong. After all i am just a country bumpkin.
politicains are all about getting rich, so they welcome them. They will not consider any negative outcomes, such as crime, until later.
The problem with government is they do not consider cause and effect, to much "hold my Amstel."
