Ha, ha! The pictures of the [pardon the expression] shitters right next to each other reminds of Camp Wilson out at 29 Palms. No thought of privacy there either as late as 2007 when I was last there. I will have to ask if that's changed.

The latest edition of the newsletter contains a couple of photographs from the huge collection of the 295th, which the museum is converting from a shoebox of negatives from WWII. Very cool.

This is what we had in Saigon before going on to Da Nang. No privacy and it was a fearful sight early in the morning trying to shave in the same little room. Once we got to Da Nang we had wooden ( out houses ). In the 4 and 6 holer design. Splinters were always a problem.
