When you consider the strict military rules and the importance placed on personal responsibility - doesn't it follow that all housing should be kept to the same standards as - uniforms?

The military must put it's personnel in the housing it has not the housing it wishes it has.

According to family members military housing has improved greatly in the past five years or so.

Edit: Oops i forgot that the DOD is in the process of privatizing military housing.

They don't enforce home maintenance for some reason, it's a shame. That's why some people choose to live off base instead of taking their chances on what kind of neighbors they might get.

My husband and I had to live off base until we were able to get into the sub-standard military housing, there was a waiting list for married couples. The apartment wasn't any better, but we were determined to live as cheaply as possible in the safest place possible. We got lucky when we got a house, we had mostly over-acheivers on our block, and those that weren't felt bad when we fixed up our places, so that most at least painted their homes and mowed their yards so that they wouldn't be ostracized. They didn't do improvements, but at least they kept the exterior of their homes clean. You could walk a block over and think you were in a third world country.

They did build fancy new condos on base, but it went by seniority, so we had no hope of moving into them.
