More years ago than I like to admit I was stationed in Sarajevo, Bosnia. While I was there we lived in what had originally been some sort of office building, but had now been converted into a barracks.
Overall as housing during a deployment goes we had it pretty good. There was a cafeteria built into the building, which meant that we got hot food served to us three times a day. We had heat and AC. There was a television room with a VCR, pool tables, and it even had a bar. It sure beat the hell out of living in a tent.
Of course, this place did have the occasional water problems, which have been discussed earlier. One of the other problems was that there was generally enough hot water for maybe three people to take a shower in the morning. Which meant that you got to take a lot of cold showers.
Now at this time people who haven’t been in the military are probably going “No hot water? That sucks!”. People who have been in the military, especially those who have been deployed to the Middle East over the past several years are probably going: “You had a bar and you are complaining about the water? You can just fuck right off Skippy.”
