I joined the Army at age 17 (graduated HS early), was in Basic Training the next summer when I turned 18.
Even thought I grew up with a Mom At Home (and a Dad!) and a Sister it was WEIRD ENOUGH showering with other girls and sharing an OPEN BAY six-seat ‘toilet’ with one another! Never before had I not had ‘privacy’ in the bathroom while growing up.
What women in the US ARMED FORCES are being subjected to today is disgusting. Absolutely. Disgusting.
Not to mention all the stupid, STUPID ‘politically induced to make money’ wars we’ve been in since ODS.
God Help Us!
Now that units are mixed the males and females will be naked together at times, for example outside shower trucks that don’t have anything except shower heads sticking out the sides to the outdoors.
Crossing water naked and putting your clothes on after crossing and just ordinary walking around naked, both indoors and out.
