On a Trident submarine, the E-6 and below live in 9 man bunkrooms. That means nine bunks (three high on three walls) in <100 square feet. If a sailor has to lie in his rack and listen to a couple of qu33rs slurping on one another 18" over his head, where is his respite? Good order and discipline? Prolly not. Murder, mayhem, loss of self-control? likely. Same problem with putting split tails on subs. The "who's boinking my boy/girl friend while I'm on watch" question will only lead to the total destruction of the finest submariners under God's green oceans. If you've read this far, you should know I have 20 years in Uncle Sam's underwater canoe club.
Your point is well taken, except that I truly didn’t mean for “in private” to apply to bunks or barracks or submarines or any other place on military property. That, in my book, is not private.
I was referring in that sentence to civilian life.
The behavior you describe would surely merit military discipline.
Thanks for your service. I can’t imagine how hard life would be in close quarters on a sub, although I have a close relative who spent a career under the Pacific. Hats off to you and your buddies.
