    its the same deodorant that goes under your arms, it keeps them from sweating and stinking just like your underarms. like I said its an infantry thing, you go 30 days with only steel hemet pot to bathe out of and you will put deodorant anywhere ya can get it. but then us ope deckers tend to get at it a little harder than door swingers.

    I was at the only Big Charlies I know of in Virginia Beach. Spent two nights there while we tried to get the container warehouse to accept the unpalletized tables being sent to our troops. They refused. Eventually unloaded them at the shippers warehouse in Alabama.

    Well they have scrubbed the black mold out yes. Still no ventalation in them. Kinda like sitting in a sauna.
    ME I'm a fat man and something about hot warm steam and no fan is not fun.

    That's why I always brought my own towel from home out on the road. Forgot it one time and used the truck stop sandpaper towel and sure enough got a skin rash afterwards.

    This a warning to the ladies- I was at the Love's just west of Houston, Tx on I-10, I think the name of the actual town it's in is Luling, Tx. Anyway the shower the fuel desk clerk gave me was the last one at the end of the hall. When I got in the room and sat my bag down the shower was reasonably clean which I was thankful for and unrolled the light blue towels on the sink shelve- then I noticed that the ventilation grill in the door was bent up so all someone had to do is bend down and look in. So. to solve this problem I hang my pants on the door and I'm tall enough that the bottom of the legs covered the hole. Feeling a little more at ease- I got my things ready and undressed and got in the shower. About 5 minutes into showering I got a blast of cool air which pushed the shower curtain in towards me- I thought it was strange but kept rinsing the conditioner out of my hair. I then heard a noise that sounded like the the door to my shower closing- I stopped and looked out.

    My pants- that were hanging on the door to block the hole in the vent were now on the chair next to the shower stall and there was a dark blue towel (totally different color than my other towels) laying on the floor by the door which definitely was NOT there when I got in the shower.

    I finished, dressed and got out of there as fast as I could. I know I should have said something to someone there- but the guy who gave me the key was the manager and for all I knew could have been the one who came in. I hope he got a good peek- sick freak!!

    If you ever stop there- just beware

    Yep deodorant under the sack daily. Keeps you from chaffing down there too. But then again dealing with tarps don't take long to break a sweat in the land down under.
