We were only authorized to use the single on Sunday (Holiday Routine) and we could shower alone. Alot of the guys hid in the head stalls to avoid showering with everyone and would only shower on sunday.
I don't even remember my Ship number lol but I remember my division number....I lucked out....I was in a co-ed division. lucky bastards, we didn't have a single one that we could use on sundays.....the only difference on sundays is that we could take an hour long shower if we wanted to. Which we would because that whole shower, shit and shave in 15mins wasn't cutting it.

I don't blame him....he's a politician. He is suppose to be somewhat of a hypocrite. It comes with the territory. He may want to do one thing but then his advisory staff may give him reasons why he shouldn't act on those decisions. He does have the choice to ignore them and do what he wishes but like I said there are other pressing issues that have higher priority. When you are president you can take the short amount of time it takes to reverse said policy.
