That sounds like a 'WW-II temporary', still in service 50+ years later, like the type I lived in for 6 weeks at Ft. Bragg. Not only weren't there any doors, there were no partitions. The movie 'Stripes' has an accurate portrayal. Although unlike 'Stripes', cadet-land had men and women training together in the same platoon. The women stayed in a separate barracks that we were prohibited from entering, but they were allowed to enter our barracks after hollering out 'female on the floor!' However they would usually enter first then holler as an afterthought if at all. More than one time this would happen when a guy was walking from the latrine to his bunk wearing shorts or just a towel.
At one place I was stationed in the Army (Ft Sam Houston, TX), I remember the barracks was one open bay; thankfully I had a bed on the side with a window, and was able to position my locker to give a little privacy. But the latrine was an open room, sinks on one side, urinals on the other, with the toilets further down, no doors. Reading these posts is digging up some memories from years past.
