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 there too (1983). Old Division Area. The females would just walk in...because they could I guess.
Went back as an instructor before IOBC (1984). Taught tactics. I n one company there was a female whose goal was to "do" every black guy in the company and in another company a female was going to "do" every guy in her platoon.
Coming from an all male college, we were well warned to steer clear of females for the 6 weeks. Glad I listened. Lots of guys lost careers before they even had one.:doh:
