Sure glad our president can still golf

We just got the word, no more paper towels in the bathrooms on base because we can't afford it. Way to go Congress

Government is still crapping out a trillion and a half dollars every year... Use those.

Do US Servicemen have to pay US income tax?

If so... since you would be using toilet paper that you bought yourself on US Service equipment, would it be a legal tax write off?

Unfortunately I do pay federal income tax. I wish there was a way I could write it off. This just the latest insult, yet we have money to fly Mrs. Petraeus over here next month to talk to my Airmen about "predatory lending" practices

So NavyC5, what are you guys resorting to doing? Wiping your hands on your uniforms? Forgoing the washing of hands after using the restroom? Using toilet paper to dry hands? Buying paper towels out of personal funds? Stealing paper towels from the mess hall? Reusing cloth towels by multiple people?

Basically, the options are:

Don't wash your hands
Wipe on uniform
Carry a cloth with you like the Japanese do

[island14]

If someone swiped a few rolls from the white house to send to you guys in Japan, would this be a theft or requisition?

[island14]

Carry a cloth with you like the Japanese do

Or wrap it around your head like a Taliban...

Your Supply Officer is an idiot, and so is your C.O. if he doesn't tell him to get his head out of his ass and buy some paper towels. This is posturing.

I'll bet they have electric hand dryers-but I hate using those things.

I was about to ask if they had those.

We're down to one day a week janitorial services where I work at Fort Knox. Paper towel re-supply is spotty. Ditto for soap and hand sanitizing foam, too.

Last word we got is they will be unplugged to "save money on electricity"

Unfortunately it's not. It's simple economics. We're having to save money wherever we can.

They probably pay 5x as much as you or I would for the same product. Actually, I am willing to bet you or I could not find toilet paper or paper towels as cheap and as thin ans what the .gov buys.
