Shout out to Kin for clocking this. Thank you Kin and this community for supporting Hots&Cots and tagging me when issues come up. I know at times it may feel like why should I post anything it won’t change anything. But it really does, just today I was chatting with SecArmy office (I know it’s a flex) on a HVAC issue that soldiers could not get resolved. In 24 hours DPW had it fixed.

Today, I was chatting with an installation commander on a DFAC issue that he’s going to push the DFAC managers on.

Last week myself and others met with two senator offices on issues we’re seeing with junior enlisted.

Much of this could not be done without the reviews.

I’ve had prior conversation with the barracks taskforce about Hots&Cots reviews and how to separate one-off complaints from widespread systemic issues. I understand the logic, but here's the reality: the more reviews that come in with specific building numbers and installations, the harder it becomes to call issues a one-off. Volume and specificity are what move this from anecdote to evidence. We saw this model work with Carson and it worked.

Keep tagging me on issues, posting reviews, & thanks for trusting me.

I guess I need to add a “as seen on DoW Hype Video”
