When I joined I already expected it, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't surprised. We were 180 people living inbthe barracks at that time, and we had to share some 20 working shower heads, that woukd get hot water only between 6PM and 7PM. Let's just say that when it was time to shower there was gratuitous nudity all around.

I used to be a civilian employee of the USMC, and was able to use the base gym for free. The setup was exactly as I expected, about a dozen shower heads in a U shape configuration with no dividers.

The only thing that caught me off guard was the number of guys that would just chat naked with their friends for really long times. I remember one instance where I had finished my workout and returned to the locker room where there was a group of guys just standing around chatting naked. I took my clothes off, grabbed my towel, took a quick shower, spent time in the sauna, showered again, and came back... The same guys were still there chatting naked.

I grew up hunting & playing sports, so group showering afterwards - never thought it was a big deal.

Maybe this is just to make you feel better:
During boot camp I was showering & heard someone walk up right behind me. I said "cant I get 5 minutes of privacy". All the sudden I heard shouting & my last name horribly mispronounced, as only our drill sergeant refered to me. I turned around immediately, but slipped on my shower shoes, fell & was at the drill sergeant's crotch-level.

He said: "Do you think trying to do that is gonna make up for all the fuck-ups? You've gone from not being my type to being on my shit list".

As long as someone isnt standing behind me, I don't mind being naked around others.

Moral of the story: watch out with those shower shoes, they make everything 10x more slippery.
