I live in Air Force dorms on an active duty Air Force base. The dorm building itself is at least twenty years old and is now falling in on itself. The pipes are all leaking through the ceilings and making them cave in and the black mold all over the building is now getting people sick and giving them infections. The bugs that are in the building are awful.
I'm active duty Air Force and this is the only choice I have for a place to live. They won't give me money to live off base until Sept. of 2009 (my 3 year mark). I am in no way comparing this to the conditions of the soldiers overseas fighting in the desert. Yes, I know they live in un-airconditioned tents and see camel spiders daily, but where I am living is my house for at least three years.
Is a law suit something that myself or others could take into consideration seeing that we are getting sick due to the mold? Who should be taking this matter into their hands? Anybody here that is current/prior Air Force, especially civil engineering would be a great help here. I'm security forces. Please help. Thanks!
