YUCK

All soldiers come from different backgrounds and walks of life. The other day I had to clean out a soldiers room. The soldier went home on leave and hurt his back and did not return. This soldier was obviously from a different walk of life that I will never travel. His room was a pig pen. Dirty cloths everywhere trash on the floor on the bed and even in his footlocker. I told his squad leader that he is partially to blame. The young soldiers who are married and away from home seem to have the hardest time. The simple tasks like doing laundry are hard for them. First Mom did their laundry and then their wife. Now they find themselves standing in front of the washer trying to make out the “Greek” writing on the knob. Cleanliness can and has to be forced upon some of these soldiers. I was completely disgusted with emptying his room.
