[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4178670, member: 35036"] I have a couple of ideas/thoughts: 1:Because they're broke junior military/college kids that cannot afford a hotel room. There's not enough capacity or money to stick 4,400 midshipmen in hotels or Navy barracks. 2: if you think that's bad/cramped, you should have seen the berthing/head accommodations in Kyrgyzstan, where most units stopped going in and out of Afghanistan. Soviet era aircraft hangers full of old bunk beds and terrible mattresses if you're lucky, cots otherwise. Or the bunks on Surface ships and hot cots on submarines. They have it good, and its likely free. Certainly nothing to complain about. 3: It helps build a sense of unit cohesion and esprit de corps. Either nobody is cranking their hog, or everybody is cranking their hog. You can't be the odd one out. [/QUOTE]
