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.
I was at Ft Sam Houston in summer of 1988, and the building seemed about 5-10 years old. I thought it odd they'd build something newer in that format. At Ft Devens, MA, I was in some WWII barracks, and although old, the bathrooms had walls/doors.
The best was being stationed on Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, TX in 1990. Two rooms shared a bathroom (tub/shower and toilet), and each room had its own sink area. The Air Force knows how to treat its people well. We even had someone who cleaned for us. The only downside was being way out in San Angelo, TX.
