The government shutdown almost made the U.S. Air Force Academy an incredibly uncomfortable place to be. The Colorado-based academy was on the verge of a toilet paper shortage. No, really.

As far as adapting, I guess they can still use the Air Force bidets to help some.

I hope you are kidding that you support wasting money on luxuries in the Air Force that could save lives and improve our combat arms units and fighting forces.

I didn’t have a golf course and yes we had an elisted/officers club.

I drive through Ft. Bragg a few times a year. Don’t preach to me about goodies. I get through Paris Island and Kings Bay maybe once a year. Those folks are doing just fine.

Ft. Stewart has brand new housing and schools throughout. Get off the back of the USAF.
