It's becoming obvious few Freepers were in the military, at least those posting on this thread.

I would have looked at one of these micro apartments as a luxury when I was in the USAF, and we had it good compared to the other services.

We had two to three guys to a room less than half that size, with beds and a sink. Sometimes a bathroom shared by two units, sometimes communal down the hall.

Then there are the Army and Marines, often in open bay barracks.

And the Navy guys, "hot bedding" in submarines with just a bunk and inches from the next guy or a torpedo, etc.

These mini apartments make perfect sense for folks just starting out.

You’re making my point. Civilians living like the military is more like North Korea than America.

“These mini apartments make perfect sense for folks just starting out.”

They are being made to believe that it makes “perfect sense”.

nothing like cuddling up to a MK48 to give you a warm fuzzy feeling! ;)
