(Vinales Family)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>An Army family walked into a house, on base, for the first time. Instead of the smell of fresh paint, clean materials, and evidence of contract work to get the residence ready for them, something else greeted them&#8230; Cockroach infestation.<\/p>\n<p>Doing what any family would do, they contacted the contractor in charge of the housing unit. In addition to calling in the cockroach issue, they put in trouble call requests for other issues that needed to be fixed. They had cracks in the house and they also had to contend with mold. This appears to be widespread involving other families.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Military Times:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The lawsuit cites examples of human waste deposited under houses because of plumbing that was disconnected for years; mold growing on the rim of a child&#8217;s toothpaste tube in a mold-infested bathroom; floors detaching from walls, leaking roofs, and asbestos and lead-based paint filling the air.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the service members and their family members have fallen ill with a variety of respiratory and other symptoms, have lost nearly all their personal possessions because of mold contamination, and paid their full base housing for the &#8220;woefully substandard&#8221; housing, according to the lawsuit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Captain Kline, the father in the above incident, attempted to bring this up the chain at the contracting company. He ended up being investigated, but the investigation resolved in his favor.<\/p>\n<p>More information on this could be read at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2019\/10\/29\/cockroaches-mold-raw-sewage-8-military-families-sue-privatized-housing-company\/\">Military Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Army family walked into a house, on base, for the first time.
