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.

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.
