DAY 86, WET CHU!





Now these pictures may seem lame to you, but they're heaven to me. What you're looking at is a WET CHU. That means a small room with it's own bathroom. I've been upgraded!
-
It took three months, but it's SO worth it. No more hiking to the shower. No more hiking in the middle of the night to take a leak. No more running out of hot water.
-
I have to share the bathroom with the Colonel whose room is on the other side, but that's cool. The lawyer from Chicago had the room before me. He went home this week. The replacement lawyer is a female and didn't want to share the bathroom with the Colonel. She got a WET CHU with a private bathroom. I get the lawyer's CHU. I am once again thankful for women.
-
The best part is my room is about 20 yds from my office. My commute went from 15 minutes to 15 seconds. No more sharing the roads with every Army vehicle known to man. Now, I just stroll out the door and into the next trailer.
-
Life is good, errrr better.
-
93 days to go.

CHU = ???

Containerized Housing Unit. I thought I spelled that out in a previous blog. Just another military acronym. We're not smart enough to speak/spell full words.

I feel like you and the Colonel are starting a little bromance

Seems to me that a little bromance is a small price to pay for large luxuries like not having to hike through a combat zone to take a shower. Clearly NS has not spent any time in the hoosegow. Let's let what happens in Iraq, stay in Iraq.
