At Fort Bragg in 1987 I took a shower in the rain. Today's army ain't what it once was.In 1995 at Aviano Italy NATO base we washed standing in a galvenized tub with water heated on a campstove in tent city ... the single valve shower tent was often cold only or frozen off! City kids just were appalled and went to bed sweaty
When my Dad lived in a tent for 7 months during the 1943 Aleutian Campaign, they had no showers.At Fort Bragg in 1987 I took a shower in the rain. Today's army ain't what it once was.

First time I ever caught pneumonia was also in the army, kept getting up at 4:30 every morning...... and we didn't have cell phones, and drill Sergeant's still got all up in our face not like today. Kudos (major big balled ones to your dad)!When my Dad lived in a tent for 7 months during the 1943 Aleutian Campaign, they had no showers.
First chance at a hot shower when he got back to Fort Richardson, he caught pneumonia afterward.
