This is not the normal situation for contractors. Those of us who served in the military like to get away from work when we are off.

Been through the "BOQ" lodging provided (single room with bath) (nice kitchen if you want to eat alone) and much nicer accommodations.
If you like the rate take it, if you don't someone else will!

When they provide the room, you loose that benefit. The whole purpose of a job is not to see the USA on your resume', it is to make and keep as much net money as possible. It is the capitalist's way.

just so long as you are telling the IRS you are doing that,...
and do not paint ALL nukeworkers with the same broad brush,...
pay is pay,...
per diem is per diem,...
and the expectation is that ALL the per diem is used to cover ALL of the expenses,...
per diem IS NOT a pay raise nor is it pay,...
pay is taxable,...regardless of the income source,...
to admit otherwise is to scoff the law,...
scoffing the law is not nuclear,...
can we move past this now?!?!?!?!?

True, and getting closer to or at the GSA rate allows you live a little easier while on the road.

Not likely, it is just some people's nature to complain. Some people could crap gold bricks and complain about their butt hurting.
