What a bunch of crap. We used to shower at LZ Stud standing under a 55 gallon drum by pulling the cord to get wet, soaping, and rinsing. it was so damn cold, you did not linger or use too much water. We avoided showers until we could smell ourselves. That water got cold up in the mountains above Dong Ha.

Just tell the fool to use cold water and you will see his total usage go way down.

Did you get sniped at out there? I did. We had the same set-up at Hill 29 just off the Redball twixt Danang and Tam Ky. The AK cracks were still off at least 600 yards or so. But when you can hear em whizzing by, you know they've got a bead on ya.

Talk about a quick shower....
