I worked on ranches and in the oii fields before joining the infantry for 20 years.... nothing feels better than a long hot shower after a day of grime... it is a habit I have reduced over time (Now I wear a tie , and don't sweat all day) but still probably enjoy more time in the shower than most....THe only ones who really know how to bath were the Japanese Infantry guys we trained with in the mountains in Japan....They would sit in those showers for hours (it seemed)....I tried it and man, it was great after being grimey all day.

Perhaps the difference is you earned that shower! I don't think these lads are swinging pipe 16 hours a day in the patch or clearing an LZ with a machete! They're probably mainly in IT, Real Estate or customer faced roles here. I'd love to soak in a Japanese Onsen one day. Sounds sublime!

long years spent on boats with cold water showers get wet soap up and warsh off total 5 min. shave about the same toliet time about same all total 15 min. and that is taking my time, now that i am at home i ues warm water to shower and it does fell nice but a 30 min. shower i cant understand .
