encampment showers

[a2capt]

Could be worse.. you could have to use rocks, coral and a stream, and change after climbing over green slimy rocks to get out. ;-)

[CCAlex]

Oh yeah, reminds me of the old days...... charcoal soap. Those are the times where it scrubbed even when you didn't

[SII-117]

It's where the marines train. I think they shower. At least they used to.

It's very hard to get clean when clothes (regardless of type) are in the way.

[Chris35094]

Yes but i cant really take a shower with people near me.

Here we go again!

Why is taking a shower with others in the room a problem?

[HGjunkie]

Showering with other people nekked is one of those things that new cadets are usually scared about, but generally get over once they start actually doing it. Sure, you feel self-conscious, but you realize that pretty much everyone else is too. Once that confidence starts growing, it becomes less of an issue.

[Chris35094]

Ill remember that.

[Майор Хаткевич]

Ill remember that.

You need to consider what makes it uncomfortable. Everyone in the room is dressed the same. They have the same equipment. Look up, turn on the water, soap up, wash off, and move out.

Well put. End of story.

Yep

It's like the first day of high school gym class all over again. Just keep yer eyes up, shower fast. And remind yourself that most everybody is doing the same exact thing.

Most High Schools use their showers for storage these days.

Imagine everyone else is in their underwear.  Only in this case, everyone is.

Not if the people in charge care about hygiene. It's been said before in this thread, but I'll say it again. Having cadets wear their underwear into the shower pretty much guarantees that the covered area won't be cleaned. Sacrificing a cadet's health in order to save them from facing their irrational fear is not appropriate.

Plus, with your flight staff yelling at you to get into the shower, I went from "wait, with THEM??" to "yes Chief!!" and diving in with the other 4 people. Trust me, you will be eager to (try to) please them, lol. Not only that, but the other members of your team are going through the same thing.

Im sorry, did you want to deal with the parents?

[Майор Хаткевич]

Im sorry, did you want to deal with the parents?

Yes. I'd rather explain to them why their child did something millions of others have done before them rather than explain crotch rot or something along those lines.

[Eclipse]

Deal with them, how?
