Loud vibrators are causing soldier to lose sleep

Filed · 1542

FORT POLK, La. — Staff Sgt. Tina Lang, an Explosive Ordnance team leader taking part in pre-deployment mass war-game training at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft. Polk, needs her sleep.

But according to Lang, it is impossible to sleep over the racket of multiple vibrators in her sleeping quarters.

“It has been this way since the sergeant major made me move in here. I was doing fine in the same building as my company,” Lang said, referring to 790th EOD Company, “but he said it was inappropriate to sleep in the same building as males. That’s bullshit, they’re like my brothers, nobody is doing anything inappropriate in there.”
