The tour concluded at Schofield Barracks, where Weimer walked through Barracks 2081 and 2083. He bypassed formal command briefings to speak directly with Soldiers in their living spaces, discussing maintenance response times, room conditions and their overall well-being.

>By adjusting his schedule to hear directly from the force, Weimer reinforced the Army's commitment to prioritizing people and ensuring garrison operations effectively support the tactical units tasked with deterring aggression and maintaining stability throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

Just...found this whole article to be kinda laughable. Hawaii has been having notable issues for months - and there's been no sign of SMA involvement.

There's talk of how he 'bypassed formal command briefings' to speak to Soldiers...but he's been insistent that soldiers not do that his entire time in the office.

Anyway, nothing in this article about the bunk beds, the overcrowding, the lack of DFAC on Shafter - there's no notable issues discussed here. They talk about all their 'wins' but nothing about the ongoing issues.

If anyone in the Bs at Hawaii talked to him, love to hear what the responses or any actions were.
