Sounds like some NCO didn't do his job to get his privates to clean the showers enough!

Glad that I joined the navy, we were taught how to clean things so they didn't have a chance to get moldy.

In the navy, we cleaned the ship every day. In cruise ships they don't, and everyone gets norovirus and/or other biological baddies. πŸ˜‡

Did you dry the outside of the ship every day too? I feel like the outside of the ship could get wet a lot

Just that cleaning things doesn't prevent things from getting moldy. Because when cleaning you bring additional moisture into the place, that most likely doesn't properly dry off and then it gets even more moldy.

I still will get moldy. Proper ventilation is the key to prevent things from getting moldy, not cleaning the mold away.

Won't argue against that one, but still, ventilation is the key to prevent things from getting moldy, not cleaning.

We really are talking about different motivations. If you're running a military group, you want to keep the people in your unit busy. Cleaning is one of those jobs, so is polishing and silly drills. Idle hands in the military tend to mutiny.

Yes, the military is pointless. And sane people only go there when they are drafted, or poor and don't have no other chance to escape poverty. Except a few nutcases and the usual power hungry assholes.

There is a point to having a military. If you want to learn more, ask the Ukrainians about it. Damn, boy...

Well, if no Russian soldier and no Ukrainian soldier would have gone to war, guess what, there would be no war. And well, getting killed because some power hungry asshole looses it, fuck that bullshit.

Always blame someone or something else. The way the world runs. Never admit that you might have fucked up constructing a proper ventilation system. Never take any responsibility for anything.
