Report on USS GW suicides

This was a heart wrenching read. I get that not all the fatalities were s/y related but I don’t understand with the billions of dollars we give NNS, why do they not have a dorm or barracks close by with mess deck etc, with at least a TV, for 18 and 19 year olds to live in. Imagine months and months of sand blast grit in your rack, welding fumes, paint fumes, no hot water, and 24/7 noise. It’s rough enough for just a hitch as a merchant mariner.
