Communal showers at police academies?

**BJJVad** · 11-17-09 02:38 PM

There is no time for "peter-gazing", or looking at your scar in the academy. No one has the time, nor the care when they are worried about getting showered, dried, and into full business attire/Uniform in under 5 minutes.

There are more serious issues at hand here. If you are the type that gets offended because of a scar, good grief, you think you can handle the abuse that comes with being a LEO?

I was going through my photo albums a couple of weeks ago and came across a photo of the latrine at Ft. Lewis. We were all sitting on the thrones with our pants around our ankles with our gas masks on.

Yep, it ain't all sunglasses and autographs like some people think, is it?

When I took boot and basic training in the military there was nothing but communal showers, thrones and a long open tough that ran the length of the room where everyone pissed and spattered one another in.
In the mornings I've seen guys pushing and shoving others aside to get to that trough.
I didn't particularly like taking showers with rhe little guys, as it caused too much envy.:grin:

I'm not sure how they run things in Oregon

Your academy is where they filmed Deliverance? You must've been the guy on the academy commander's porch with the banjo. :grin:

Naw, my academy wasn't live in.... I enrolled in this academy that was advertised on a matchbook, LaSalle Correspondence School or something like that..... It was right next to a "Draw Bambi and Be an Artist" thing....

RDS's first day at the police academy:

"No, son. This class is Nude Sculpture. The class you want is down the hall."

Nor do I wish to explain it here either. It's not the most pleasant sight, nor the most pleasant memory for me.

But thanks for the heads up. Most people in this thread managed to get that this wasn't a stupid question about being afraid to show my **** in public.

I saw this quote or a variant of coming from a mile away, you guys just sit there and tear this guy a new one for asking a question that from jump probably had to do, one way or another, with him being embarrassed (rightly or not) about something that is no one else's business.
i would think people who are supposed to understand social dynamics enough to get the subtle undertones of out of control situations they are asked to jump into the middle of would have caught that, or at least one person would have made a joke at the outset to try to deter the flames.

secondly, seriously? wanting to know what frequency your going to be seeing your wife and kids in a 30 week period is not a hugely selfish question.

i'm actually kind of disappointed how quickly both of his legitimate questions got turned into a flame fest. and if the tone here continues, the next post is some sarcastic comment about my disappointment not mattering...(it probably doesn't but i still am disappointed enough that i had to say something.)
