A Near Miss with Nudity in the Military

[Namb]

I was once commander of a military unit that went out into the field frequently. One of the pieces of equipment we had was a gasoline powered cleaning unit that produced extremely hot, high-pressure water for washing vehicles. Its primary purpose was to wash chemical or biological contaminates off vehicles or to make sure foreign bugs, seeds and germs picked up on foreign soil stayed on foreign soil.

However, it also had a shower attachment. You just had to make sure the switch was in the right position, so you did not parboil the troops. It wasn’t a hot shower, but it was warm water and after a day in the field, it was at least as good as sex. Ask any GI.

The shower was a shared facility: men and women had their own hours. Some men were lingering in their hour and infringing on the women’s time.

I walked into the tent and told the men. “Gentlemen, in five minutes I am sending Captain so-and-so in here. She has my permission to use whatever means she deems necessary to clear you out. I suggest you get a move on.”

The captain was on board with my intentions. Unfortunate for her and the female troops, who were waiting outside the tent to get their showers, the men came out, some with only pants on, with seconds to spare.

This was an American military?
I have a feeling this must have been a long time ago.
Didn’t the military train men not to be modest back then?

From the way I'm reading this it's possible that some of the female recruits may have inadvertently seen a few penises. I guess that can sometimes happen in the military.
