Toilet humor is a time-honored tradition of military personnel around the globe, passed down from generation to generation by exceptional orators, inscriptions on barracks walls as treasured as the Dead Sea Scrolls or through meticulously sketched art in far-flung porta-johns, the likes of which are rivaled only by Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.

The portable toilet brought a few stories to mind; I served in the ABN division @ Ft. Bragg in the mid-seventies. We had a motor pool that resembled a confinement facility. Basically a gravel filled enclosure surrounded by concertina and chicken wire. The Reserves had a state of the art facility a mile or so away. Lifts, jacks, air compressors and tire machines, enclosed in a concrete garage. We asked how come we had to drive trucks over tires to break them from the rim and then remove the tire with paddles. We had very “austere” conditions. The reply we got was something along the lines that we had to be prepared to be able to deploy without all the “good stuff.”

We had a hose for water and porta johns for those needs. If there was a particularly prickish comrade, we would keep a look out and when the need arose someone seemed always to mishandle a vehicle enough to give the crapper a good bash. The cursing that resulted would make a sailor blush........

I have many a fond ( and not so fond) memories of Ft Bragg....the one that always comes to mind is the poor bastard that over indulged on a long weekend and didn't consider the "rejuvenating" PT run along Ardennes road ( complete with motivation loudspeakers on the utility poles along the road) at the end of said weekend......I could smell it before I saw it....poor soul lost control of his bowels about a mile into the run. :2sick1:

Didn't quite make it to the porta crappers on the road.

One aircrewman we had was known and reviled by many.

He came back from a flight and stopped by the flight line Porta potty. A couple of our guys decided to give it a slosh. Unfortunately it teetered on the pallets it stood on only to tip over...

Door side down.

Our hero had to wait until the Porta potty was righted to get out.

I like the grab bars around the sink in the picture of the destroyed bathroom. Good to have when it it's a challenge to stay vertical.

You know what? I don't have a problem with what he did in response to that over-the-top hazing. I do have a problem if the ones who pulled that **** get off without even a slap on the wrist.
