Its 11 pm at night here at Misawa Airforce base in Misawa Japan. We are laying in bed in our 4 bedroom on base housing just like the other 10,000 or so other military members and their families unable to sleep because our homes are to hot. Here at Misawa Airforce base we have no airconditioning in base housing, so while we lay in bed and sweat it is now only 78 degrees outside but even with the windows open and over 10 fans running has cooled down to a sweltering 87 degrees in the house. We are forced to leave our windows open to get any relief from the heat so now our furnature is warping and mold is growing everywhere even on my son's bed where he is now trying to sleep. The base has informed us that they are now installing airconditioners but they will not be operational until 2015 or later but yet the base forces us to live in base housing, when offbase housing has airconditioning and is available. This is not humane treatment for our military families who risk everything for our country.
