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.

So. Your a veteran. Yes sir! Bathroom monitor first class, sir!

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.

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.

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 1 week 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gerblat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week 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

DICKS OUT, MARINES!

I wish this wasn't true but it is.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Well that and "lack" of Penis inspection day next door as well.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That sounds fiscally responsible.

Nothing says Christian fascist dictatorship quite like show me your genitals

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

Don't you feel great again, America?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

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

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

PENIS POLICE! GET YOUR PANTS ON THE GROUND!

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just what MAGAts love cameras in bathrooms monitoring penis.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they just love penis

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Porn and sex toys are fairly popular in the bible belt

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week 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.

I’m going to piss on your monitoring system.
