In Iraq, there was heaps of KBR flush toilets in the FOBs we frequented, which the locals (LECs) tried to keep clean, with the heat and number of people using them. Mostly they were worse than a public toilet in Doha! At times the smell was enough to gag a maggot, and thats a war story in itself :warstory:
In our sub-FOB, AKA ANZAC Cove, we kept our shitters clean, even at 50C. The CSM was keen to close them if the 'mudding' of the toliets continued, ha! We had a 'sick' stall for those keen on ass pissing from the many things they should not have eaten
Also the key to not 'ass pissing' as washing your hands often, and I mean as often as you could (when in the FOB). The Medics supplied surgical quality soaps, and did there best to stop the 'ass piss' army from growing.
The CSM had some portaloos on stand-by, and we did have two for our Cav element, who claimed they were for Cav shitting only. These were placed at their end of the block. At times it was close for the CSM to have his way, and carry out his threat. Each stall had its owen shit-cleaning brush, and a bucket. Signs were in the stalls such as 'leave racing stripes on your cars, not on the bowl', ha!
Unless we were out and about, our FOB pretty much had running water (toilets and showers), hot and cold, and all the creature comforts.
Cheers,
