-
- OK, so my response may have been a little out of line, as you obviously
- missed my point.
-
- I have read your comments that you are an Air Force veteran and the shower
- facilities at Air Force Bases. However, inthe sentence above you used the
- blanket term "military", which includes ALL branches of service.
-
- I merely wanted to point out that all situations in all branches in the
- military are not the same merely because they all take place in the
- military.

-
- It was the same in the Navy, except a lot of those lower ranked enlisted
- men did things like share an apartement between two, three, or more so
- as to be able to afford living off-base. I have seen some Air Force
- facilities when I was in the Navy. I would strongly suspect that one reason
- why those lower ranked enlisted seem to prefer to live on base is because
- the on base facilities are usually nicer than what you could rent off-base!

-
- Apology accepted. No, it isn't much of an editor it it doesn't allow editting.
- Just what DOES it allow? ;-)
