So does every High school in the country.

Our poor kids are subjected to this all the time, but somehow this is going to be the Achilles heel of our great military.

Of course this is an unnecessary diversion to the readiness of our troops, but somehow I dont think it will have the impact that everyone seems to fear.

One of my troopers, a 30-something E-5, used to time his showers so that he was in the open bay shower when certain young lower-enlisted troops were in the shower at the same time. 30 shower heads in 4 rows, with the two in the middle facing each other, and he'd always pick the one where he was as close as possible and facing the other guy. One time he showed up at the CP and asked, where's Valdez? When he'd learn that Valdez had just left for the shower, he'd run to catch up. Needless to say, Valdez, and others would do everything they could to shower when this guy wasn't around.
