    I was an Army brat in the 1950s and 60s in Germany and these barracks are a paradise compared to what I saw then.

    That place is a Hilton hotel room compared to the very small 2 man rooms I had in Germany back in the 80's. We each had a bed, wall locker, one desk for both of us to share, and a communal bathroom at the end of the hall. I'm glad to see that they take better care of soldiers nowadays. I was a good soldier but I didn't re enlist mainly because of the living conditions of lower enlisted single soldiers at the time.

    I’ve seen a lot of these barracks videos. Y’all got it pretty sweet. I went into the army in 1973 and went to Germany at the end of 74. In the states and Germany it was 4 guys in one big room. Couldn’t cook in your room didn’t even have one in the day room. No fridge and two latrines to each floor. Got it easy livin’ nowadays!

    When I was stationed in Vilseck (89-91) the actual rooms were a bit bigger, but held two people. No kitchen area except for a tiny hotel fridge for beer/soda. In fact no storing food was allowed in the rooms themselves. There was a microwave in the company dayroom downstairs. The wood furniture seems about the same tho. Interesting. As for air conditioning... we never had/nor needed it, just a radiator.

    I was in schweinfurt. We didn’t have that little kitchen area. No stove, no sink to wash dishes. None of that. We didn’t have that at Knox either. Our rooms were about the same size, but with 2 people. Things seem to have changed a bit. Loved Germany though! Miss Germany often!

    so I was 19D and was one of the first ones there in brand new barracks back in 1987. We were right across the street from the chow hall and our rooms didnt look that nice. You walked in your door and to the right was your restroom then you walked past that and it was your room with 2 people in it and that was it. no microwave no cooking hell you guys have it made.

The best rooms i ever had were 2 man rooms with a wall locker/2 drawer night stand and one simple desk. Nothing else. Bathrooms were down the hall for the entire floor to use. BUT stateside units had A CABLE OUTLET WOW!!!!
