Obviously, it would be a position for a private contractor who gets paid more than any enlisted service member bc of a no-bid contract.

$800,000 salary

Goddamnit that’s entirely accurate. They replaced the -room inspections- with civilians on the base I was on when processing out, and they expected white glove every single day.

lol fuck that. White glove is special event/booter cleaning; eat my whole ass.

I speak from experience. I was in Afghanistan and the companies that provide laundry services or food were just making insane amounts.

Can already imagine soldiers getting shamed for having shrimp dicks. Sucks for them ig.

Boot camp already has things like group showers and two-to-a-urinal, three-to-a-stall bathroom breaks, not to mention there are already assigned cock-watchers when there are mass piss tests to ensure everyone’s piss is fresh from the source. Everyone’s seen each other naked a hundred times by the time you graduate. Discussion on the matter generally gravitates less toward the smaller guys and more toward whichever lucky soul is hung like a Louisville Slugger.

Note, this is not in defense of monitored bathrooms, that’s just ridiculous. Just pointing out that this wouldn’t introduce the opportunity for mockery

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Never had multi-user stalls or pissers, but I seem to recall a big round communal trough for high bathroom throughput. Everybody just kind of pissing in each other's general direction.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

3 to a stall? How the hell? Anyways, thanks for the info lol

[–] Gerblat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

No problem haha.

Usually it was one on each side pissing kinda diagonally, about 4 and 8 o’clock, assuming the wall behind the toilet was 12, then one pissing normally at the 6 o’clock position. It helped that the stalls didn’t have any doors 😅 it was definitely close quarters, but it helped us develop our sword-fighting skills

[–] Darth_Lemmy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

they're growers now show-ers? have a little sympathy

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

DICKS OUT, MARINES!

Don't worry Russia has got our back

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of help available. American's are going to have to clean up their own house.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds fiscally responsible.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

Nothing says Christian fascist dictatorship quite like show me your genitals

It's scary this will not be the stupidest thing that I read today.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

Wow, nothing quite like solving the big issues in life.

If Donald goes to the bathroom, they'll be solving the small issues

US Army facing combat: _______

US Army when a penis is used in a women's stall: AAAAAAHHHHH! They have their cock out behind a closed stall and just using the bathroom like anyone else! RUN AWAY!

Penis Panickers.

Just what MAGAts love cameras in bathrooms monitoring penis.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they just love penis

Porn and sex toys are fairly popular in the bible belt

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago

Soldiers are going to stand outside bathrooms to check for budgie smugglers? That's a bit extreme.

Just tell them there's oil in the middle east. That'll get them out of your road.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

It's impressive how most of these right-wing nuts have been complying with this order for decades already.

I’m going to piss on your monitoring system.
