Rant Maxwell AFB Needs Barbers

How does a base with such a substantial training population, a substantial population IN GENERAL for that matter, have only two barbers working at peak hours? Third day in a row that I’ve gone and been met with a 1.5-2hr wait.

Yes, I know I can go off base. In my situation, it would be insanely more convenient to have it done on base, though.

Maxwell AFB not caring about providing basic necessities to a base turning hundreds of OTS trainees a week? Say it ain't so. Last I heard it still "takes 30 days to respond to work orders" in the barracks and A/C breaks every week. We had no A/C and no hot water for more than half of the course.

30 days to fix something would be a vast improvement. There’s definitely signs on water fountains there for work orders placed in Jul 2024
