Ok well I just saw this thread and had to comment. First off a little background.
I was with 3rd battalion 7th marines(3/7) Lima company. I served two tours in Iraq both in the same city or Ar Ramadi Iraq. One of the largest cities in the whole damn country. We used an old police station for our base the first tour. Second tour it was an old hotel. I was an 0331, infantry machine gunner for those who don't know, and was foot mobile my first tour and was in vehicles my second tour.
Now as far as jerking off was concerned lol. Its called a "whack shack" Since we all had to sleep about 6 to a room in the old iraqi buildings(basically 12X12 feet with six guys and all their gear) We had bunk beds. Well if you were on top rack you hung your pancho liner form the cieling to cover up your space, and if you was on bottom rack you tucked it under the thin matress of the person above you. Private and comfortable. Trust me though everyone knew when the other person was doing it, for one the rack would shake and number two we would have competitions on who could finish first lol. Hell we kept count on how many times each person jerked it. I came in dead last with 97 times over nine months lol. The winner had around 340 or something like that.
As far as getting laid, well you had to be a POG (personel other than grunt) or in the army to be on a COED post. Us grunts just had hands and a bottle of lube, although when i spent a week in camp Ramadi there was a cute little E-3 in the Navy i hooked up with, but that story isnt for here lol.
Take care fellas!
