About toilets...
Each morning one of the marines cleaned the toilets, he took a barrel from under the toilet, filled it up with fuel and burnt it! I think they put something in it to kill the smell.
Nobody cares when you get up! As long as you do your tasks and your duties. So if there is nothing to do you can just sleep! That's solves many problems! Everyone has enough sleep and doesn't feel tired during the day, secondly you will never find a queues in front of the sink and the toilet! And everyone have time to take a shower!
In my country in the army it is normal to take a shower once a week, even though you are running and jumping everyday and getting sweaty.
Everyone does exercises when they have free time!
The main rule here is to be informal but to do everything as efficiently as possible.
It reminded me of a morning when I was in the army. It was in Karelia. At the beginning of the course there was two companies, 200 males in all. Everyone went to the toilet at the same time! In a few days it was overwhelming so the attendant just had to fill it up with bleach. In a couple of weeks you couldn't go inside the toilet and everyone did what they had to outside the toilet! Then everything was covered with bleach. In the end of course it was impossible to come closer then 10 meters! Everyone went over the fence to the forest! I thing nothing has much has changed.
