OMG!!! Treated worse than illegals!! I’m POSITIVE the Fraud Squad will ignore.
Just an average day of training for Army folks.
Surely Poland has five star hotels, no ?
I guess this what the Air Force calls deprivation. In the Army we just called it going out in the field for training.
“Porta-potties?” We never had kibos in the field, much less running water. Poor little babies.
LOL. Soldiers being “deprived” of hot meals and indoor toilets is … wait for it … TRAINING !
Oh no, the poor babies. The next thing you know, they will be forced to dig a hole in the ground, including a grenade sump, and make it their home whenever they aren't climbing mountains with a 90 lb rucksack. I hope that they have contacted their Congresscritter.
“US Air Force crewmen were forced to live and train under unusually harsh conditions during their stay at Poland’s Powidz Air Base, being cut off from running water, hot meals, and indoor toilets,”
The horror.....
Semper Fi.

In the mid-1980’s, when Ethiopia was stricken by a famine, MRE was said to stand for “meals rejected by Ethiopians.”
People in the field who have no conveniences, and eat MRE’s every day have a name............they are called “Marines!!!!!!!!!
The horror...
SMH.
24 year Army vet.
The crewmen were also trained in resolving everyday problems, such as maintenance and repairing damaged jets...
All you need is a good set of tools and the right wrench/screwdriver :)
That reminds me i gotta go work on my Cessna in the backyard.
Yawn
They aren’t called shit hole countries for nothing!
I was in the Navy Reserve Seabees. We spent two weeks at 29 Palms, Desert Warfare Training without showers, no hot water, latrines, only cold MRE’s, slept on cots in aluminum roofed hooches with about 1 foot opening all around so the desert creatures could transit the inside without barriers. It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.
That sounds a helluva like basic....
Then as I read on I saw it was the Air Force. Poor babies had to use a porta-pottie. They had to eat MREs, oh the horror! After the MRE they are lucky they had the porta johns.
When you have to share a tent with someone who has not showered in three days, which is ok because neither have you. When a bath consists of baby wipes to your unmentionable regions, you shave with cold water and get inspected every morning for hygiene. When you think MREs are gourmet food and you throw your uniform away rather then wash it because you know you will never get that smell out of them. That’s field training.
The horror, the horror!
