Correction 12:30 p.m. Friday: This story and its headline have been updated to reflect that, according to Marine spokesman Maj. Joshua Pena, School of Infantry-East closed the shower facility before the video of it was filmed. Due to an inaccuracy in Pena\u2019s previous statements, an earlier version of this story misstated the timeline of the shower facility being closed relative to the video being filmed.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marine Corps has sent in a health inspector and permanently closed off a shower facility<\/a> on a North Carolina base where a social media video showed apparent mold on the ceiling.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video posted to Instagram by the account @notinregz<\/a> on or around Wednesday shows portions of the ceiling of a Camp Geiger, North Carolina, facility almost entirely coated in what appears to be black mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoddamn,\u201d one Marine says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem in the shower facility was attributed on Tuesday to a faulty air conditioning unit by Maj. Joshua Pena, a spokesman for Marine Corps Training and Education Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building containing those showers already was set to be fully renovated in fiscal year 2024, and the shower facility will be closed until then, Pena said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
