.Love and Hate
"There is love and there is hate; there is acceptance and rejection. You must be ready to deal with a little of each whenever you’re cloistered with a mass of humanity for any length of time.
Deployments necessitate living closely with other people. We live five or six to a B-hut, each person with 65 square feet to call his (or her) entire domain. The nicer domiciles have plywood walls for privacy. Some don’t have any.
We eat in a conglomeration of buildings that pack hundreds of soldiers, airmen, sailors and contractors in for every meal. We shower in buildings where you sometimes have to wait for a sink or an empty stall.
When we travel away from camp, we stay in transient quarters, sometimes literally no more than a tent with dozens of cots and / or bunk beds to accommodate the masses. There is no privacy in transient digs."
