Senior Airman... tear down that wall

He also lived in the new quad-style dorms as well and said they were “much better.” According to 96th Civil Engineer Group, the dorm will be completely leveled and cleaned up in eight weeks. All of the concrete within the structure will be recycled. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
