Silly soldiers

Here are some pictures of what may appear to be a normal CHU. But what really lurks beneath the surface? Is it really a man eating hole? So let me explain my paranoia. The other day we had a commanders call, and the commander told us that we should be careful if our doors are sticking. He said sometimes a sticking door can lead to you getting locked inside. So what exactly inspired him to let us know this? It could be, I'm not mentioning any names, that one of our soldiers got locked inside his CHU. And even though he beat on the door and called for assistance no one came to his aid until they noticed he was late for work. When we were in the commanders call one of my favorite officers asked in earnest, "doesn't your CHU have a window?" Which to my way of thinking was a very smart question.

But before you get the wrong idea, that I am picking on this soldier, let me share a little further. You may have noticed in the first picture that we have a lovely door handle there. well the reason it is so lovely is because its new, just installed yesterday. Why you ask? Well it may be because our door was indeed getting just a wee bit sticky. Occasionally it took a number of trys to escape from our chu. So I am just pointing out that if not for this one person getting stuck in his CHU we could be stuck in right now until morning.

DEFINITIONS:
CHU: Living area for soldiers in Iraq
Commander's call: When the commander schedules a meeting with his unit so he can give all all the latest stuff from higher up. Tell us what we did wrong and what we did right.
