TDY billeting is often in short supply at Ft. Lee. I spent my first month in OBC living in the Comfort Inn. With all the log schools there, and with the other log branches moving in, I can imagine there not being enough room with existing facilities. There's a lot of construction going on, but I imagine it will be awhile before everything's built and adequate capacity is available.

Hopewell and Petersburg are depressing crap holes, maybe that psychic burden was the real cause behind this snivel?
