Let's not forget the fact that you can shower without wearing shower sandals...bliss!
oldandcreepy1
Greatful I didn't have to shower with certain amount of water bottles. Endless hot water is taken for granted.
Youmaynotagree
I worked 12 hr shifts, 16 hrs on mission, 7 days a week for 400 days while in Iraq. Shit in bags, showered with water bottles.
GunR64
Oh the age old dilemma of "What gets short changed today; food, sleep, gym time?"
SergeantNicholasAssWipeandConstableFannyBatterbomb
"I'm going to eat all of the foods, drink all the beers, hug all the pillows"
Joshuanonymous
It was ice water and air conditioning for me. Such luxuries!
LolaKronk
Welcome home!

Or when your kids are gone for the weekend

deployment as in military of computer science? because for one of those this aren't true.
LONETROMBONE
First day back from deployment: wake up 3 am and look for my boots and coveralls for 15 mins before I realize I don't have watch..
LearnSomething
Thought I was late for muster. Sleep on the bottom rack on the ship and top in the barracks. Jumped out and nearly broke my leg.
zahl
Well cool. Is that really how we're supposed to fold the Indiana flag?
sendmedog
I have pretty bad insomnia and a full night of sleep definitely makes me feel confused and lethargic.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
lol 7 hours is my minimum or the whole day sucks
LittleMsSparkles
Can't wait til my guy gets back, but like hell am I going to let him sleep. Wink nudge wink.
OptiMissInformed
Going through our first deployment in a few months. Anxiety already kicking in lol
jackieisnotmyname
Seeing all these comments of what people went thru during their deployment makes me more grateful for their sacrifices for us
forgotmyusernameagain
I remember these adjustments. It's a whole new world where everyone pisses you off. Be careful making those adjustments.
LearnSomething
My deployment was sea bound but I would almost get physical with anyone who made me even one minute late.
completelyandtotallyperverted
I found it hard to sleep without constant helicopter and humvee noise.
madmanwithabluebox
Fuck yes. I had to listen to YouTube videos of helicopters to fall asleep the first month back
tadz777
i had to fo that to the sound of f16s, a10s, and b52s for a while when I got back.
thefuzziestofbutts
My husband gets back in 6 weeks. There will be no sleep.
tadz777
iamlikelytoforgetthis
After returning, is it instant hard on and over in a flash or need a few goes to get your eye in?
thesethingswedo
Well that comes before the sleep ????
SqueakShow
Yeah girl! Go get him :D
thefuzziestofbutts
LearnSomething
He's going to cum in 8 minutes and pass out immediately for the next 18 hours.
TheElusiveEnchilada
Probably 3 minutes. But I'll keep going.
thefuzziestofbutts
8 minutes is a very generous amount of time! He barely has enough time to wank alone so I'm fairly sure I can narrow that time to 3 minutes.
thefuzziestofbutts
And if my husband is reading this, I'm not trying to be mean. I just know you're going to be excited. :)
TheElusiveEnchilada
Oh I'll be quite excited all over the place... It will get messy.
forgotmyusernameagain
Enjoy. You both deserve it. Try some new things also

SmittyTitties
First day home from deployment; sleep on floor with feet against the front door
Knilore
What about the back door?
damelamusica
Why? Because you were dead tired or because you weren't relaxed enough to sleep in bed?
SmittyTitties
I was staying in a trailer park. Could hear everything through trailer. Too much anxiety.
FuckGlitter
I hope you feel safe and comfortable now! Thanks for your sacrifices, words can never say enough.
sarcasticresponse
for me it was more like .."I just took a 20 minute shower.... is ... is that okay?"
completelyandtotallyperverted
Wasn't it nice to not have to shower without standing water left in the shower.
sarcasticresponse
the only time I dealt with standing water was in Kygryzstan when everyone was going home... everyone was shaving their pubes.. .
HorsesAreLikeWalkingCouchesWithAnxiety
...eww.
ButterMyButtAndCallMeBiscuit
Shouldn't there be a random Marine shaving his balls in the sink?
Makinganaccountnameisannoying
Ever see one shave their balls while taking a shit?
forgotmyusernameagain
We went almost 4 weeks without a shower once. Field wipes wasn't cutting it anymore. Felt about 40lbs lighter that first shower.
LittleRichardTickler
And that feeling when you finally scrape that crusty field attached off your face. Bittersweet mix of shame/freedom
LittleRichardTickler
And by attached I meant stache. Thanks Obama.
feb29thismycakedaylol
Oh god that sounds terrible
forgotmyusernameagain
Terrible would have been good. And it was in August
jesusdudewtf
I was Air Force. What does this joke mean, are deployments supposed to be difficult?
LittleAldy
haha, self burn. nice.
aknick77
I worked 12 hour shifts as a HC-130P crew chief in Africa but we still got to wear civvies on off time and three beers a day :)
TheArkhamAsylumAccountsPayableClerk
Did the strip mall you were deployed to have a Starbucks?
idownvotekittens
Green Beans Coffee!
WhiteArmyGuyWhoSpeaksPersian
I remember going from a tiny combat outpost to BAF and seeing the coffee shop and being so so confused. Coffee was the tits tho
8hourgamer
no, it only had a burger king
forgotmyusernameagain
The horror. How did you survive
war1ockfred
And this ^ is why we get made fun of...
jesusdudewtf
So no sand, no suffering in the heat, and it was pretty much the R&R base of the middle east.
sll0210
You ever load a C-130 in Qatar with engines running? Shit is fun. But yeah, it's an R&R base.
jesusdudewtf
I was PMEL, so any deployments went to Qatar. There, we worked in an air conditioned, humidity and air controlled lab.
vozvalden
Nonner...
lurchpanda
My brothers is currently in PMEL. He said you don't even get hazard pay when you go to Qatar. You just work 12's for 6 months and leave.
BubblesKittens
Avionics back shop! We were neighbors
forgotmyusernameagain
Had a high school friend deploy there and he was posting on fb made up stories to make himself seem like Rambo. Qatar is a vacation
jesusdudewtf
They have a pool....in the desert. YOu have multiple fast food places to choose from. You stay in a hotel instead of a dorm.
RhealityBytes
One time, the airconditior in the airbase I was stationed at broke. But then since we have technical skills we fixed it. 30 minuets of horor
hotterpop
I never understood why everyone doesn't build out their tech trees to do stuff like this. Saved my bacon plenty of times
sarcasticresponse
found the nonner
N0FatCh1x
Nonner here: y'all want your mail or not?
RussianBear1942
Found maintenance
jesusdudewtf
Without the job I was doing, there wouldn't be aircraft......soooo......yeah. Enjoy Calibration.
sarcasticresponse
The amount of times we don't even use a lot of your calibrated equipment..... yeah... there will still be aircfaft
jesusdudewtf
.....you realize that aircraft break down over time, right? Entropy? Might have learned it in tech school? You need tools for that.
sarcasticresponse
No I didn't realize that with my 2A coding for my AFSC... it's so facsinating... tell me more about your sticker program.
YesIChangedMyNameAgain
I was a Nonner. Of course, my job was the security systems that guarded nukes. Sooooo, I don't feel bad about not generating sorties.
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
HA. You know what your job really was, right? Strategic target.
YesIChangedMyNameAgain
Far from it. For the most part my job was stateside. Security systems for nukes is fairly important I would say.
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
Very imp but you misunderstand the purpose of stateside nukes. Takes a nuke to kill a nuke. Every silo hit is a bomb not dropped on civvies
Punderstandable
So I've thought of a way to explain the branches in terms of shit. Ahem...
Punderstandable
Marines get shit done. The Air Force does shit right. The Army does shit. The Navy shits.
LearnSomething
Sir, the order is Marines, Navy, Army, Air Force. We're you taught nothing?
Punderstandable
And the Coast Guard gets shat on.
tevyethemad
As a coastie, fucking accurate man. But at least if we got shat on someone would be giving us something...
ILikeFISHING
Was once adopted by some coasties in the Bahamas after they won a jackpot at the casinos. As a poor cadet, they got me fed and drunk.
