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.
That's right, we were in the old division area. I looked on google maps for the heck of it and see that some of those buildings have since been demolished. They should save at least one and turn it into a museum!
Dave, you must have been in the old "Division" area off of Longstreet....the new division area was a little bit better than that....but not much!!!:drink:

Tim, that's why I haven't left an Air Force Base since first being exposed to them in 1995......an Army guy living on an Air Force Base = The Good Life!!!
Unless you're swimmin' with bow-legged women.
Sorry, the men's locker room brings out a very immature side of me....
Better you bring it out here than in the Ladies' Locker Room, I say.
The view is always better from the lead spot........

Yea, the view may be better, but I HATE it when a sandbagger gets in the lane and insists on going behind me.
