ICE complaint.

In Dec we had to move to JBLM for a short 6 months. However in Feb we got new neighbors. We are a family of 7 and they are a family of 4. It has been horrible to live next to them as they seem to have expected never hearing neighbors. After he confronted us several times they took it to the housing office which offered us no solution other than to talk with him personally. He is an angry yeller (as we hear through the walls) and we have no interest in confrontation with him. Today he took it to a new level of banging and slamming doors for each sound he heard and then went outside where my husband and kids we playing and started yelling, threatening, and cussing indirectly at my husband. We don't feel safe dealing with him and housing said they wouldn't get involved last time. We have 17 days left and don't feel safe without someone dealing with him. WE WILL NOT CONFRONT HIM.

This is the ice complaint I filed today. While we should have called the cops we didn't thin about it at the time and after the fact seems silly. I will be filing a second ICE compliant about the fact that they put 4 person families in 4 bedrooms but we didn't "qualify" for the 4th bedroom until Abbie made us a family of 7. 

This is also hindering our choices about where to live at ft.bliss. Originally we talked about on-post but kept our options open if something off post seemed more appropriate. However so far on-post housing is the small crappy duplexes and we will not be in a duplex again. We are good neighbors with just a lot of people noise. We're tired of constantly shushing the boys when we want them to feel "at home" at home. We pay just as much to live here as the neighbors do.  We don't party and we don't get in their space or have loud music. Don't smoke and don't bother them other than we walk run prance and jump in and through the house sometimes. Not even daily but occasional we do make noise. We both enjoy playing with our kids. 

I just keep praying that God has the perfect house for us there because after 2 cranky neighbors I can't keep living like this. We'll buy an RV and live in the woods before I deal with another cranky person.
