That's how military housing works. There's an underground "economy" of favors.
- ProllyInfamous 5mo agoAre these "favors" rank-blind (i.e. does its hushhush-nature more-equalize the men, just trying to secure places to live)? Obviously officers and enlisted have different housing, but might an E-6 kiss an E-5's ass only on account of wanting his soon-to-be-vacated housing? My background is non-military (with one each, officer & enlisted, brother).
