A Walk to the Bathroom

A couple of days ago I posted on my neighborhood and living quarters Camp Liberty. One thing you may have noticed is that I didn't show the bathroom facilities, so this post is to rectify that. As I mentioned previously at our office on Camp Victory, we have the wonderful porta-potties. Well, thankfully we have a little better accommodations at "home." So, now I'll talk you on a walk to the bathroom.

First, my room is about 40 yards from the bathroom. In the pic below the entrance to the bathroom is marked by the red (thanks Mimi) wooden cigarette box.

Then you come to the shower door...

When you walk in the showers are to the left...

And the urinals and sinks are to the right. This is where I stumble to most nights during my 2-3 nightly trips to the bathroom due to having to drink so much water to stay hydrated.

However, if I need to take care a little more serious business...as soon as you walk out the shower door you take an immediate left and stay inside the barriers until you get to the clearing a few feet ahead...

Once in the clearing you take another left and walk across to the other side...

When you get the barriers on the other side, you take one more left and walk along the barrier again to the steps ahead...

And there is the door to the serious business room...

Once inside, you have your choice of about 12 or so flushables. They also have a couple of urinals as well as sinks on the opposite wall from the stalls, but no showers in this one.

And there you have the full tour of a walk to the bathroom to take care of any amount of business that needs taking care of in my neck of Camp Liberty. Now imagine making that walk in the PITCH black and half asleep...definitely a miracle there aren't more non-combat related injuries for that reason alone =)
