The Army Times reports that soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit have been told not to talk to the media when they have problems with their quarters, but instead to send the appropriate paperwork up the chain of command.

The soldiers have been told that they will wake up at 6 every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7. 

One Medical Hold Unit soldier, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the soldiers “believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media.”

The Department of Defense has suspended planned projects by CNN and the Discovery Channel.  The soldiers in the Hold Unit will be moved to a building on campus where any reporters will have to be escorted by Public Affairs personnel.

All sergeants that had been in charge of the facility have been relieved of duty and moved to other positions.

Problem solved.
