- Zack, Screw you! I am so tired of responding to you, I wonder why I continue
- to do so. I stated in the post you responded to (if you had cared to read
- the entire thing) and several other posts, that I was in the Air Force, not
- on a ship. I also stated in more than one post that for the first four years
- I was in the service, I lived in a dormitory with a community bathroom with
- a large, open-bay shower. I was stationed at several bases, and all of the
- people I remember discussing the subject with relayed similar experiences.

- Again, let me repeat what I posted, IN THE AIR FORCE, NO ONE UNDER THE
- RANK OF E-4, WHO WAS UNMARRIED, LIVED OUTSIDE THE DORM! For a very simple
- reason: E-4's and above could get quarters allowance to help pay for their
- quarters; married people likewise received quarters. Lower ranking airmen
- would have had to pay for their rent out of their own pocket, so they lived
- in the dorm. Jeez! Do you get it now?

- (By the way, Zack, sorry about the screw you. I was frustrated when I read
- the post and my editor doesn't allow for editing. Not much of an editor, Huh?
