Senator grills senior enlisted leaders about privatized housing NDAs
As private contractors have taken over the management of military housing on many bases, military families have long reported being asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs, about problems in their homes or as conditions for needed repairs.
On Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) pressed the top enlisted leaders from each military branch about those agreements. during a Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel hearing about quality of life issues for enlisted service members and their families.
Warren asked each of the enlisted leaders if they believed such an agreement was appropriate, particularly in cases where service members face toxic mold for more than 10 months. She did not name a specific company or military installation.
“I think service members should always have access to their commanders to be able to report the problems, ma’am,” said Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff David Isom.
