A few years ago, Smellington House was shut down due to a rodent problem. Everyone was kicked out. Everytime the FAdmO changed, the live-in policy changes too. At one point, Russell House was only allowed to be 50% full of live-ins, and that was Snr NCO and above rank,right? The reason? To be able to handle the overflow from Juno. Why was Juno so full? Because they let f--cking hockey teams and tons of civies use Juno Tower and were running out of room for CF members. (That was from a PO2 I knew that was at Accn the summer or...2005? or so.). The issues WRT to Accn for Jnr ranks in Halifax are numerous and I just shake my head over and over at CFB Halifax and the mindset I see around here. Now, having said that, the folks at Accn in Shearwater and the mindset about Jnr Ranks in Warrior Block is nothing short of impressive. They have taken all the rooms and made them single rooms. I have a bed, a leather futon, a leather couch and loveseat set, big TV, fridge, computer desk etc all in mine (most of that privately owned of course...) in my room, it is NOT crammed in, I get basic cable for free, I am in the newly renovated part, on the 3rd floor, view of the harbour/McNabs Island, 500m from work, 300m to the gym, 100m to the Sea King Club, and as I said...I pay $162 a month.
Funny how different the world is on the other side of the harbour...
