My God, what luxury. Nicest room I ever had was Ft Hood 3 persons our own bathroom. Also did WW2 36-man bay, wooden barracks. Hypocrisy of the Army, we could not cook in our rooms, this was before microwaves. but the orderly room had a coffee pot for their lifer juice. One of the guys in our unit got a telephone in his room, this was a major breakthrough.

Soldiers today don't know how good you got it, I was stationed at bliss 86 -88 and it sucked. There wasn't single soldiers act back then, we had room inspections all the time. 2 man rooms with bunk beds and 2 wall lockers that was it, bathroom down the hall and no A/C. We are out in the field for 45 days and come back and Top would have a wall locker inspection 2 days after getting back. That was what made me get out of the army.

Times have changed. A LOT! When I was stationed at Ft. Polk, La. in 1963-64 I had to share my room with 23 other guys and another 24 on the bottom floor. We had four sinks, five toilets and eight shower heads for all of us. We also had two standing wall lockers and one foot locker for EVERYTHING. I wonder how many soldiers today appreciate what they have.

We had it better than the grunts, though. If you had to pee at night there was a latrine about 50 yards away and a mama san to wash your fatigues. Nowadays I live like a king.

No cooking in the rooms, but we could have mini fridges and TVs with cable. Pay phones where up in the day room or outside in a booth. Times have changed for the better 👍🏻

When I was in the fanciest room we had was at Ft Hood, three to a room, separate bathroom three floors, looked like a condo. You should have tried WW2 wooden barracks w/ 32 people to a room, roll over in bed, see the ground through the crack in the floor. laying melted paste wax on the floor. Running a buffer over it, till you could read a paper by the reflection. The also would not let us cook in our rooms, even though if there was a fire, the waxed floor would burn and melt. Army logic 😵‍💫
