We had 8 man bays for rooms. Latrine did have individual stalls but the shower was one big open room though.
That red brick "starship" barracks was pretty much the standard for most basic training places. We had identical looking/configured barracks at Fort Leonard Wood in the late 1980s.

Yep. I've seen barracks like those from here to Germany. I remember down on one corer of Dinseyland was the home of the 86th Ord Bn. This was the training unit for tank mechanics. While we were going through OSIT, they were going through AIT which means they had a lot more freedom than we did. One privilege they had was a smoking room. This room was on the bottom corner of their barracks next to the corner where the payphones were located. They kept the window to this room open with one of those chicken house fans pointing outward. Anytime we'd pass by their barracks it would look like the room was on fire from all the smoke pouring out.

Thanks from proving my point from earlier.....

I think you've got to understand where he's coming from, even if he can't comprehend where you (and I) come from on this matter. As you can see from the posts in this thread, his attitude on this subject is pretty prevalent with many nowadays. I think this comes from two sources.
1. Never having served and thus never being indoctrinated to the importance of the uniform and what it stand for. Yes, you can explain how important it is that the uniform be honored to someone who has never served, but having not served means they cannot comprehend, at least not fully, what the uniform means to someone who has served.
2. The modern mindset that nothing is sacred, especially something patriotic. Along with this there is an almost obsession with people nowadays of not being passionate or really caring about anything other than themselves. What's more important to many people nowadays is to appear to not care or have anything bother them lest they be accused of of being "mad" or having their "jimmies rustled".

I always thought it was weird that people that never went to jump school wore jump boots.
It's because of the shine you could put on them, at least the Corcoran 1's. Corcon 3's were more comfortable and better field boots though. I was still in when the ACU's were phased in. What a shite uniform.

If you knew what you were doing (ice water) you could have regular boots that shiny

I think every reception has those barracks. And they don't have dividers on the shitters. You have to shite next to your new bff.
I am not cool with that poo situation at all.
Not Benning. We had a big concrete Soviet-era looking building. And we had dividers between the shitters.

When we were on our road marches our drills would do crazy shite like fill their rucks up with rocks or bricks. They'd talk a lot of shite on the march but usually didn't say much while we were on those hills.

Oh, I know what I'm doing. All I needed was an old brown t shirt, kiwi, and a few drops of water in the kiwi lid. If you knew what you're doing you didn't need ice.
Damn. Now I feel like shining boots.
