Comment on This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhen I was in boot camp for the Marine corps the rule was three to a urinal. And when we went out to the rifle range for a week or whatever, the toilets were just in a room, six toilets, not a wall in sight, in just a room. I was fortunately not piss shy, but they definitely force it out of you if you are. Fortunately, by the time we were at the range, privacy had stopped being a concern.
This was 2009 when boot camp was still segregated men and women.

How long does it take to piss? 60 seconds? Couldn’t they just wait and go one after another?

Never served; don’t know for sure.
It makes more sense when you consider that the point is to get rid of the psychological blocks that would keep you from being able to do your business as quickly as possible whereever possible under whatever circumstances. That three to a urinal thing is under a short time limit.

Yeah, everything is counting down. They start with left sock, right sock, go from there. You have 60+ guys, they’d finish head calls in “100 seconds,” and I put them in quote because it’s a guy screaming backwards from 100 as fast as he can. And so the point is, yes, removing psychological blocks to certain behaviors, getting you to move fast all the time, and obey orders immediately. It’s pretty effective.
