[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 67586, member: 126"] Re: The official shower complaint thread. I have no desire to recognize it. :-) Even while I was there back in the early '70s we moved from the fire-trap wood barracks into brand new (brick) buildings with dormitory style 4 man rooms (vs 40 man rooms), but we still had communal bathrooms. Give my regards to Custer hill,,, IIRC the only hill in KS. It seems Custer would be a name for the Army to forget, but they probably didn't name the hill. The coldest I have ever been in my life was walking guard duty around empty buildings during the winter there... It was so cold it was a tough decision to remove a glove to unscrew the top off the brandy bottle in my pocket to take a slug. When it snowed everybody headed for town, because the poor suckers who stayed on post have to pull all the KP and guard duty for the troops who manage to get "stranded" off base. :-). It was remarkable how some people would get stranded as far away as Topeka, when it didn't even snow there. :-) Being in the army was a world class education in how to "sham" (avoid work).
