TP

We have no plumbing here, and so use only porta-pottis. TP tends to get scarce, so lots of folks just get a roll and take it with them when they need it. They sell TP in the PX, but it is pink and sold in rolls of 6. Probably useful for females, but too much for males.

On the other hand, TP is the only available paper product. We use it instead of a Kleenex. When we enter the chow hall, we wash up at sinks along the walls before entering the actual serving line area. There are water bottles with 3 holes in the lids, containing a pink handwashing liquid. You wash up, and then dry your hands with, yep, TP. Just doesn't feel right. Don't even think about using it to dry your face, especially if you have whiskers. It gets hung up on the whiskers and tears, and then you look like an idiot with TP shreds clinging to your face. I've seen it.
