Opinion: It sure was nice of Sgt. Smith to let us use his shower
The following is an opinion piece written by Spc. Dana Perkins, with contributions from her roommate, Pfc. Tiffany Tagaev, after the shower in their wet CHU broke.
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — You know, it was really nice of Sgt. Smith to let us use his shower. Don’t you agree? I feel totally, completely refreshed, and cleaner than I have since I arrived in country.
After the pipe outside our CHU broke, like, surgically, as if done by a band saw instead of meteors like Sgt. Smith said it was, I was heartbroken. I despaired of feeling clean ever again, for like three days until the maintenance crew could get over here to fix it. But then Sergeant Smith knocked on our door and offered to let us use his shower.
God bless him.
