Wow! Makes me cringe that some idiot with the AF might have helped put out this crap.

I started as an enlisted Marine and ended up as an AF officer.

Learned as a Marine that those conditions were part of daily life for many Marines. In my AF assignments I was mostly buried in an underground launch center or confined in an Airborne command post with limited comforts.

The AF these days needs to get more of this. My father was on a bomber crew in WWII and not based in England. He lived in battlefield conditions in North Africa and on Sardinia as well as on Okinawa near the end of the war.

Nut up AF. You’re going to potentially be deployed under the same conditions as the remote AAF units during WWII.

Back in my day as a Marine we called it snoop-in & poop-in in the boonies.

Porta-Johns? LUXURY!

Used to carry a radio in the 60's.
I wonder what MOS the poor schlub they will be strapping a porta-john to will have 02POO10?.
For incoming rifle fire the term hit the dirt will have a whole new meaning for that guy./S

"US Troops Deprived of Hot Meals, In-Door Toilets as They Train for possible Conflict W Russia,"

We called this "Camping".

"The more it sucks out here — and you’re eating MREs [Meals Ready-to-Eat] and you’re pooping out in the Porta-John — the higher the morale is. We had people out in Poland sleeping in hammocks and stuff, not because we had to but because I wanted them to feel what it is like to live in the field", Yates said

Did anyone ruin their pedicures and weaves?

“In-Door Toilets Training...”

Indoor toilets are still new in certain parts of the country. I can see where the military needs to develop a crash course for this. We can’t have our finest doing their business in front of the Chinese or Russian citizens. Tasteless.

Does anyone know how to talk or write?

If we get into a real war, we are going to be shocked how ill prepared we are.

This is nothing new. It is not news. Come on think about it. In battle your going to say to the enemy “sorry I got to take a potty break”. Get real.

This story is so ridiculous, I can’t think of a comment except maybe this is what you get when you allow LGBTs in the military...

Our foreign policy is not conservative, Constitutional, or putting the US first. I worry what would happen if a large enough group of nations who we don't favor got together and decided they have nothing to lose by going to war against the US and the countries we favor.

We as a nation have become fat and lazy. Even our finest institutions have been polluted and marginalized by Affirmative Action and low expectations. Too many people don't think for themselves and have been taught that patriotism is obsolete and wrong. I can't imagine that most of the US population would have the will or the skills to be the victors in a war against populations which have coped with hardship.
