Sorry to derail but is there not some sort of building codes department for army bases? The barracks I'm in hasn't had hot water in (3+?) weeks now. We've submitted the work order to the department of public works but they have been waiting for a mysterious 'part' to come in. No one knows what said 'part' is nor when it might arrive... They've been by a couple of times to fix the issue but alas, the 'part' is missing. We're pretty sure they have no loving idea what is wrong but I can't find anyone in my chain of command that gives enough of a poo poo to look into it. I'm hoping there is an actual plumber that took the month off and will magically show up on the 1st of January to solve our problems but I doubt it.
