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.

I am personally willing to get shot at a little more in order for those pictures to be released. We voted for change, the government should act based on the desicions of the people, not work to "protect them from themselves."
Definitely can see where you're coming from on that. It's a fine line he's got to tip toe down [President]. If he releases those photos and there are major uproars/riots in Iraq and the troops see a death toll rise in any significant fashion he's going to catch a ton of heat for it. If he doesn't release them he's going to also catch heat for it. So goes the fun in being potus.

Yeah I was in a newer ship, it wasnt really a single shower it was meant for about 5 people, but on Sundays if you didn't have to shower with other men you didnt. I would have loved to be in a co-ed div, i was in 156. I remember even the butt ugliest girls were fine as hell after about a month.

Get your argument straight. He's either too busy bailing out wall street or he's a hypocrite. You can't have it both ways because they're contradictory statements; though your last sentence shows you seem to enjoy some level of cognitive dissonance.

I dont mind *** ppl. I just dont really wanna shower with them if its all the same to you guys. In the military we have no privacy. I know that sounds *** but really.. When you were in highschool would you have wanted to know that one of your fellow football players was ***? Nah i think you would feel really weird about it.

If you're an adult who's brain is still stuck at high school level thinking you're too dumb to be defending our country. Go play tiddlywinks with someone else, thanks.

@ Ethan

In the future when you make these threads, I'd encourage you to use your mod privileges to erase all the posts that are irrelevant to the conversation, the issue gets lost in pissing contests and one-liners.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
