My Experience
While serving four years in the United States Marine Corps, I experienced how it felt going days, even weeks without a toilet or shower. During extensive training there were many times we were unable to locate a clean facility to use the restroom or shower. I will never forget asking my Sergeant during my first deployment where the restrooms were and with a straight face he just pointed and said, “Pick a tree.” This was a surreal moment that impacted me the moment I began analyzing the best tree and shade angles for privacy.
