Not quite there yet, give me a day or two. But if I EVER need Viagra then I fully believe that is the time for me to check out.

I don't think their are many veterans who didn't get themselves an injury to remember their time in service for the rest of their lives.

Don't be like that Wolfen, no need to be too final on yourself if you found yourself using the stuff. Many folks who use it do not use because they need to, they use it because they want to from what I have been told. (Wife was a Pharmacist before she died).

Man I have several reasons to check out, sometimes I think I have more reasons than not, but THAT would push me over the edge.

In the Australian army they get taken back every 3 days for showers if they are out bush. I think there would be some resentment if this happened if they were put in Infantry units.

Holy crap, that would be nice. I remember the 6 months I was in Saudi for GWI, I and my platoon had total of about 3 showers, ice cold too.
Yes indeedy we were ripe, even the dogs wouldn't sniff us.

Even our camp did not have showers or baths, if you wanted to clean up you would get your patrol to stop near some river and go in while your mates covered you.

That's a pretty good deal.

I sure wish out military did that, not just for the women though, for everybody, a nice shower is good for morale every now and then

Well, imagine being out in the bush during winter time then, 1 meter of snow, and every lake or river frozen solid...

And that has what to do with a hot shower? Besides fire melts snow and ice into water
