Riain's Adventures Ch. 01: Navy
A work of fiction.
One time that I remember the most of having a wank in a public toilet was when I was in bootcamp in the navy. When all of we recruits, [fresh meat] arrived and assigned to our companies, we were all very anxious and nervous and unsure of ourselves.
I was assigned to Company 078. Our company commanders were both Filipino. Each company contained around 80 recruits, we shared one toilet that just a couple of urinals and then on one side of the room the wall was lined with sinks and mirrors, opposite were the commodes, they were in stalls, but NO DOORS! We also shared one communal shower room; it was unusually small considering that all of us had to shower at the same time, and in a very short time. I think it only had eight shower heads (half on one side and half on the other side) meaning 80 of us young hot sweaty men were all trying to use eight shower heads at one time, this left most of us hanging out in the middle of the shower room or outside in a very small hall-way that ran between the bunk-room and the toilets, with the shower room entrance in the centre of the hall-way.
This was typical of the "hurry up and wait mentality of the military." So now you should have a clear picture that we had absolutely no privacy at all anywhere, and 99% of us were between the ages of 17 and 24. So how in the hell were we going to masturbate? Boot Camp was EIGHT weeks!
One of the first things our company commanders told us were the rules for laundry and the bunks. The linens were only washed once a week, say on every Thursday. So once a week on Thursday morning we removed our sheets to be sent to the laundry with. The linens would come back to us that late afternoon. We never slept under our sheets, just the blankets (San Diego can very cool at night). Our company commanders did not want us to mess up our bunks in anyway. You never knew when there could be a surprise inspection, and we wanted our company to be the very best and to brigade at graduation (highest honours and leading all the other companies).
It was after explaining all these rules about the bunks and the linens to us that our company commanders said, "the night (Wednesday) before the sheets go to the laundry, is 'HOTEL NIGHT'. They said this was a special night because we were allowed to sleep under our sheets and mess up the sheets anyway we wanted. They went on to hint to us that messing up the sheets also included jacking-off, considering we were all young men, we needed a time for such a thing. They were not direct about this, but did all the explaining about masturbation in a humorous, ‘buddy to buddy’ or older brother to younger brother way. I suspect this had something to do with government regulations and rules. I mean what would happen if the religious-right found out that the military were encouraging our young men to MASTURBATE?!
Well, I never discussed what they told us with anyone. I did not know if they were really serious or just messing with our heads. I had never had anyone tell me that it was ok to jack-off and to also tell me when and where I was suppose to actually have this wank. SO, the first hotel night I waited and tried to stay awake as long as I could, but almost impossible with our schedule and our daily activities. Maybe this is the reason they let us know that we could jerk-off, they knew we would always be too tired to actually do it, and/or too embarrassed to do it in our bunks with all of our fellow seamen so close by. After all, there were only two rooms with bunks, one upstairs and one downstairs. Each room contained 20 double-bunks for a total of 40, so there was not much room between each set of bunks and you had pretty much a clear view of all the bunk to either side of you and across from you, and also knew every time the lad above you or below you moved.
